Is FSR implementation going to be improved?

Kubui · February 24

Unlike other titles, i would say that the DBD implementation of FSR does NOT work at all. I seen on reddit that people made tests with it off/on and its the same.

Since the beginning i was wondering how was this implemented at all, because normally it would allow you to select between different presets (from Uquality to Ultra performance).

I think fixing it would help lots of people who are struggling with the game.

The only upscaler that actually works is Intel XESS, but i think it must be the first version of it because it looks AWFUL even on quality

I have been wondering as well.
Since acquiring a new Radeon card, I'd really want to utilize FSR 4 (or Redstone) for smooth upscaling to 4K

DbD easily has the worst upscaling implementation of any game I’ve played.

XeSS makes everything look horribly muddy with minimal performance gains and FSR makes no difference in terms of performance or visuals. I’m guessing the versions we have in DbD are very early models. They should definitely look into updating them.

Oh yeah, I activated this at some point. It indeed did nothing and I forgot about it.

I dont even understand how does it work… it literally does NOTHING

I might be wrong, but I think in DBD it works a bit differently to most games. While usually you would use presets such as Quality, Balanced, Performance, etc., in DBD you can manually adjust the resolution scale to whatever percentage you want and then FSR (if enabled) will upscale the image with a slightly more advanced algorithm than if you used the resolution slider on its own. So, for example, 67% would be the equivalent to Quality mode, 50% would be Performance, but you can use whatever value you like.

However, bear in mind that this game uses FSR 1.0, which is really not very good and won't give you the kind of upscaling experience that you might expect from DLSS or FSR 4. It is a spacial upscaler rather than a temporal one, so there is no reconstruction of the image or ML-based anti-aliasing.

The game looks terrible and needs a complete optimization. It should have a 120 Hz mode and offer better visuals, as the devs promised in Oct 2020. Where's the better upscaler? Ray Tracing? Higher resolution? etc.
