As a devoted WQHD user, this channel is very useful to me. I'm not a fan of upscaling or frame generation, but this analysis is actually brilliant and a great counter to constant clams that DLSS is superior for both. There is no objective measure of "image quality." One can easily point to shimmering, detail loss, etc., but it is far more difficult to know what's causing those things. For me, the graphics card choice is all about what does the job I want done while using resources in the most efficient way. Up-front price matters more to me than long-tern energy cost because electricity is pretty inexpensive where I live. And a generous VRAM buffer matters more to me than RT cores because ray tracing is far too great a performance killer no matter what GPU is in play. So most of my currently-in-use graphics cards are AMD.
I also am not a big frame generation user but I do see the value of Quality settings upscaling and the thing that is hurting AMD the most is FSR's image quality not matching DLSS. If they can get their FSR4 Ai upscaling out and equal to DLSS before Nvidia can improve their FG scaling then i think you will see a big shift in the conversation around these two brands.
@@ultrawidetechchannel I agree with you on FSR-4, if it's really good, being a game changer for AMD. I just wish we were changing the game because of raw performance rather than because of parity in software trickery.
such a good video!!! i prefer frames over image quality in 100% situations... been gaming for 25+ years, games looked horrible back then, but we had fun... so frames> image quality
Thank you for the ultrawide content! Quick question. In your bio, you said you're using "FSR3 fluid motion frames." I'm confused by this. AMD Fluid Motion Frames and FSR3 Frame Generation on not the same tech, which I'm sure you're aware of. AFMF is driver and FSR3 Frame Gen is implemented in game. But what is being used in this video? Or do you just use what's available? (IE FSR3 frame gen if its supported in game, AFMF if its not supported in-game)
Good question sorry if i was not clear enough in this video, on what is being used, I am using FSR3 FG if available in the game and if not I am using AFMF to get a wider sample size since i have a limited number of games available to me. I have seen no difference in the performance scaling between the two. Of the 5 overlapping games 4 use the ingame FSR3 FG and only D4 uses the driver AFMF. Of the 9 game sample 5 use in game and 4 use driver based AFMF.
@@ultrawidetechchannel Got it thanks so much! And thanks again for the Ultrawide content I’m a huge fan of this channel and your work. I’m a little shocked at the scaling difference with frame gen! I’ve been on AMD (XTX) the past couple of years and I had no idea there was such a discrepancy at this tier of card. Super fascinating!
Yea i tried this in throne and liberty on korea using a rx 6800. Was incredible on unreal 4 engine. The FSR since then was so much improved I dont use it anymore though.
Nitro+? Beautiful card. Was gonna let my 6900XT carry me to rDNA 4 or Blackwell, but switching from 1440p to 4k and playing Space Marine 2 made me impulse buy a 7900XTX. Beast of a card. I run it undervolted so it draws 360W and easily pushes 80-90 fps in that game.
AMD does need to improve their FSR upscaling, I really think that is the main thing holding back more people purchasing them right now, but their frame generation technology seems to be in a good place compared to the competition.
Afmf 2 is already out but it's just not full version afmf 2 is little bit better because you get much better latency compared to afmf 1 and lossless scaling.
@@ultrawidetechchannel Ooh interesting. What game did you experience that on? I only tested it on unreal 4 MMOs. I wanted to experiment in throne and liberty with it standing among 400+ people :D No camera issues which ud think id get since the game runs on you swinging your camera around. Makes me feel its engine specific.
Excellent content. I have a question, I have a 49" super ultra wide monitor (3840x1080), I can't decide whether to buy a 7900XT or 7900XTX. Only for sim racing games like Assetto Corsa Competizione, Automobilista 2, Iracing. In my country the XTX costs 300 dollars more. I don't want to go for Nvidia. Thank you very much!
Well it would be good to compare both methods of frame gen not only for visual clarty but also for input lag. You can even add Losless Scaling to the mix as universal solution for both cards.
1000 thanks and congratulations for this video. I am about to buy the 27GS95QE-B which is g-sync compatible and freesync premium pro. I aimed the 8800xt, but the better quality of dlss makes me hesitate…Do you think it would compensate the advantage of the extended color gamut coming with the FPP (I don’t play competitive games)? Thanks again mister.
I would like to see the vram usage for these cards. I think some of your results can be attributed to the 8gb of vram that the 4070ti is missing. If the 4070ti is hitting a vram limit then making sweeping statements about the efficiency of one tech over the other is kind of disingenuous good sir. I am a huge fan of ultra wide and this is literally the only decent channel I've found that tests at resolutions I'm interested in, so please don't think this is an attack, but that is enough of a vram difference to make me question your methodology ever so slightly. Thank you for the work you do, keep it up.
Would it be possible for you to do some CPU benchmarks, just to see what kind of CPU performance is required to keep up with higher mid-range cards for 3440x1440 gameplay? I plan on building a pc in the near future with either 6950XT, 7900 GRE or 7900 XT. If I could get away with DDR4 platform (i.e. B450 board and 5700x3D), that would save a bit of cash to use on GPU and monitor
Input lag testing on frame gen is something i have a video planed for. As far as artifacting is concerned, if your able to maintain a base frame rate of 60fps with frame gen on meaning your perceived frame rate will be 120fps the difference in artifacting between the two solutions is inconsequential, to the overall perceived image. What is not inconsequential is the difference between DLSS upscaling and FSR upscaling, which i do point out in the end of the video.
Few days ago i loaded cp2077 on my rx 7800xt and turn on everything to the max, even PT on 1440p with FSR perf and FG got 60 to 70 fps while not looking like complete trash like it used to look with AFMF1 and old FSR. I was quite shocked how it runs and look. I would still rather played with more than 100fps on high setting on native res but its nice to know.
AFMF at the driver level is game engine agnostic, which may seem as an advantage but is actually a disadvantage. Because it has no info from the game it has a lot more artifacts like for example distorting the game UI. At the end of the day, if you want to use Upscaling+Frame Generation then it's always Nvidia, as they don't compromise image quality thanks to their AI algorithms.
That is correct I cover this in the conclusion when I go over the advantages and disadvantages of picking each card. fyi of the 5 overlapping games 4 were using in game FSR3 FMF and only diablo was using driver AFMF.
i expected extensive image quality and input lag testing comparisons not fps comparisons which kind of pointless since that will be different for each card while the tech is the same
While the end does touch on image quality differences a deep dive into that and latency will be their own video. If you want my quick opinion the image quality difference of DLSS upscaling vs FSR upscaling is the big difference maker. the in motion visual difference of the tow frame generation technologies aren't noticeable as long as you have sufficiently high FPS.
I dont remember how AFMF works. Wasnt it smth that struggles to "generate" frames in movement? Like, if your standing still in a game, it will work just perfect, but any fast movement would decrease fps?
AFMF 2 is up for download as a preview but near full release. It removes that completely. Can swing your mouse around all day without a stutter. AFMF 1 is garbage for real.
The AMD option sounds interesting but I would definitely never switch to another AMD graphics card, the two times I have changed from Nvidia to AMD I have gotten more fps but when I view it it appears that the game is going at 200 fps but the game It feels like 80/90 fps, I changed monitor, cpu and nothing helped and it didn't happen to me once, the same problem happened twice, that's why I would never go back to AMD
4070ti-192bit bus with 12gigs of vram man nvidia’s cards age like milk. In 2015 gtx960 2gig vram and the gtx970 3.5gigs vram then 2016 gtx1060 3gigs vram 2019 rtx2060 6gigs vram and rtx2080 8gigs vram in 2020 rtx3070 8gigs vram and 3080 10gigs vram…
Hi. I just subscribed to the channel, but I have to say, you speak WAY too low for a content creator. I just switched apps to check if my earphones were dying or something, and they're not, they're still quite loud. This is all you. So please change your audio settings, your voice is so low that I need complete silence around me to be able to understand what you're saying, which isn't realistic. I think that even if you doubled your voice volume I still would stay at maximum volume, but at least I would be comfortable in hearing you. I hope you accept this bit of feedback. 21:9 best ultrawide. ✌️
