that would be a shame if the tech improves and is genuinely a good option. You don't think we will see it now it's a apart of Xbox XDK? or GDK or whatever the latest one is called lol

I mean maybe, but not often. Call of Duty and other games/engines with established up-sampling tech will continue using their own upscaler, UE4 titles might just use TAAU to save resources and some will not up-sample at all outside of a simple upscaler.
I wonder tho if Ghostwire didn't use TSR for performance or aesthetic reasons. that could be another thing that developers will look at I think. some might not want the disocclusion artifacts that these have.
I think it will be mostly used by smaller devs and games that do not have other good up-sampling methods in the engine they use

It absolutely will be used.
It has a ~2ms impact on render times with an XSX, thats phenomenal.
Will big developers be using it, probably not because they have their own implementations.
But those that dont or have an implementation thats more costly on the render budget will jump on a middleware thats proven and pretty widely tested that gets the job done.
Unreal Engine 5 devs probably wont cuz TSR works so well already, its likely to only get better.
But FSR could still get usage because of how open it is for devs to make it bespoke to their game.
On PC I expect it to be ubiquitous now with any competent release.
Pascal gets to live on!
GhostWire Tokyo was likely already in a gold or near gold state prior to the TSR stable release build.
Yes, they could have cvar activated it on PS5 but then they would have to reprofile the game for stability.
On PC you reveal the option if client computer cant handle it, they can turn it off.
If the PS5 versions rendertimes are suddenly higher or it causes issue in this one area of the game, it could take them weeks to fix.
Better ship whats already "stable" and call it a day.

true, but it's also curious that Fortnite doesn't get an update on console to use TSR... that game is Epic's posterboy for Unreal Engine and the first ever UE5 game on the market. it has a 120fps mode on console, and that one runs at a pretty low resolution... so TSR could do wonders here, or FSR2.0 of course

TSR might not be as "cost free" on console as it is on PC.

yeah and I wonder if that will be true for FSR 2.0 as well, and if it is then I think we won't see it much.
we already know it will not work at all on the Switch given how much of a performance impact it has when used on the Steam Deck. so I guess it's wait and see

He said they have it at ~2ms on XSX.
I imagine it has a similar rendertime cost on PS5.
Thats a very low render cost for what you get out of it.

sure, but then it becomes a thing where devs will have to decide if they rather push for slightly higher settings and/or if they are fine with the artifacts.
some may chose a lower output res with better motion clarity, some might use the 2ms of render time for other things.
I also assume that render time goes up the lower the internal resolution is compared to the targeted up-sampling resolution, which will be another factor

FSR gets faster the lower your base resolution is.
Im guessing they use Balanced (1.7x res bump) as the "baseline" target for when they say its at ~2ms.
Which makes the current impact similar to what a 5700XT does when targeting a 4K resolution output.
They can target Performance which is a 2 x res bump which cuts 0.2ms from the impact.
The good thing about GPUOpen is we have all the documentation and all the code so we can make some pretty accurate albeit speculative assumptions.
For the Series S if its targeting 1440p or 1080p the impact is practically imperceptible we are talking in the 1ms range even on things like the Vega56.
So unless TSR can get its act together I wouldnt be shocked if pretty much every dev struggling to hit 1440p/1080p just uses FSR to get up there without stressing the GPU too much....those memory constraints well....theyll figure it out.

wouldn't it take longer the bigger the gap between the input res and the output res is? FSR would need to fill in more gaps in such a scenario no?
I haven't looked much into FSR but that intuitively makes sense to me at least...

Nope the opposite is true, the lower the base res the faster it gets.
i havent scoured the whole code, but im guess its due to the algorithm filling in more information itself since 1080 to whatever it only needs to read 2073600 pixels then can get to work, starting from a base resolution of 1440p it needs to read 3686400 pixels before it can do its magic.
