It could be a conspiracy, or it could just be that developers implement those features when they get money/help from nVidia and AMD, and don’t when they don’t. Or maybe AMD’s offering is easy to implement and nVidia’s isn’t. I vaguely recall that nVidia’s is tied to the game more tightly than AMD’s is, but don’t quote me on that.
In the end, I expect we’ll eventually converge on a system that both work with, and this’ll all just be a blip in history, like every other standard worth supporting.
Feels like GSync vs. FreeSync all over again. Now largely converged into HDMI Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync, and it’s a lot harder to find a VRR/Adaptive-Sync capable display that won’t do adaptive framerate at all with your graphics card.
Both Unreal Engine and Unity have temporal anti-aliasing upscaling (TAAU), though I believe they still lag behind DLSS in both visual quality and performance. That gap will narrow over time, and once it does I doubt we’ll see many game developers spend extra effort implementing DLSS or FSR if TAAU can get close enough for no extra effort on their part.
