AMD FSR 2.0 has been added to Cyberpunk 2077 as a 3rd party mod replacing DLSS, works even with Steam Deck - VideoCardz.com

Cyberpunk 2077 gets FSR 2.0 (sort of) Modders already found a way to incorporate AMD FSR 2.0 into NVIDIA DLSS games. Cyberpunk 2077 has been relatively easy to mod. This game requires very powerful hardware, so a technology like FSR 2.0 would be very useful, even to owners of NVIDIA GPUs that...

FSR 1.0

FSR 2.0

If it becomes possible to just mod FSR 2.0 into games that support DLSS, it could become a game changer.

The only difference I see are headlights.

You're joking right? Do you even know what to look for? The resolution is clearly sharper

 

[DukeNukem00]

my god, fsr 1 was such an atrocious piece of shit

 

[8BiTw0LF]

So CDPR could implement FSR 2 in CP2077 on consoles? - That would be awesome!

 

[FireFly]

my god, fsr 1 was such an atrocious piece of shit

It's best to think of it as an alternative to bilinear filtering.

 

[DerivedDataCache]

Thank you. Im gonna try it soon.

 

[hlm666]

Looks like some big ghosting behind the cars wheels in both shots. Curious to see how it stacks up in other scenes, apart from that it's a pretty good upgrade.

see a doctor lol, or better try to shout for one or feel around, seeing the doctor might be an issue I assume

 

[names are for friends]

Cool, DLSS is really necessary in Cyberpunk so I'm glad everyone has a similar solution now

Man that FSR 1.0 image though. I really hate these upscalers that just look like a normal upscaled image with some ugly sharpening applied

 

[Exede]

The 2nd pic looks not as blurry as the first one, yup yup nice

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

FSR 2.0 really brights in still shots

Yea in motion it kinda falls apart

Just tried this out. The shimmering on distant geometry and the disocclusion is unreal. Performance is nice but it destroys image quality in motion.

Breaking: Minor visual bump not enough to save already-sunk ship.

yeah, I kinda expected that... is it worse then the artifacts in other games?

 

[RoboFu]

Cyberpunk is a good test for any reconstruction methods. With dlss I saw a lot of weird patterns emerge because of A lot textures are symmetric lines.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Could be good news for Steam Deck.

Damn this really enriches the narrative and breathes life into the world

 

[SmokedMeat]

Still shots don’t convey much. How does it look in real-time, while moving?

[pqueue]

who would want to mod "ads" into a game?

I would prefer mods that "add" features.

 

[RoyBatty]

There is my test with settings on Ultra + RT Reflections (1440p) - Native / FSR 1.0 Ultra Quality / FSR 2.0 (DLSS Quality option)

You can change and zoom it:

so what has the better performance, dlss or fsr?

 

[alucard0712_rus]

so what has the better performance, dlss or fsr?

dlss both faster and better quality. but requires tensor cores.

How many fps u gained? What gpu?

 

[Aaron Olive]

see a doctor lol, or better try to shout for one or feel around, seeing the doctor might be an issue I assume

Much better sampler to showcase differences.

 

[Black_Stride]

so what has the better performance, dlss or fsr?

DLSS 2.x is better than FSR2.0 in every way,
Better quality, better performance.

 

[Craig of War]

Great can't wait for DF to zoom in 200% to actually see a difference

 

[RoyBatty]

How many fps u gained? What gpu?

It's on the screenshots, around 30-32% with the best quality setting.
PC Specs: RX 6800 XT - R9 3900x - 32GB RAM.

Meet the modder who hacked AMD's new upscaling tech into Cyberpunk 2077

The Digital Foundry interview with PotatoOfDoom, the modder that hacked FSR 2.0 into Cyberpunk 2077. How did they do it - and are other games possible too?

www.eurogamer.net

It's an interview with the guy that created the mod that adds FSR 2.0 to CP 2077. I'll just leave here some of the most interesting questions.

Were there any surprises in terms of things being harder or easier to accomplish?

PotatoOfDoom: The main DLSS and FSR input buffers are the same. I basically just copied the FSR integration from the AMD example, set the FoV/Depth values, launched the game and immediately got a pretty decent image. The worst thing was a quirk in Cyberpunk where the game wouldn't reset a special DirectX structure (ComputeRootSignature) after running DLSS. This is not so important for Nvidia's DLSS since it uses CUDA, but unfortunately FSR uses ordinary DirectX compute shaders, which break the game. So I had to find a way to restore that structure after running FSR.

Do FSR 2.0 and DLSS have similar requirements in terms of what inputs they require?

PotatoOfDoom: Yes, otherwise this mod would not be possible. Both integrations need color, motion vectors and a depth buffer as input. In addition, they use the masks I mentioned earlier. They are very important for things that don't have motion vectors, like particles or animated textures like smoke and computer screens in the game and wrongly applied masks are the main reason for ghosting appearing in a game. Also, FSR needs to know the FOV and the near and far planes of the depth buffer. DLSS doesn't need that additional information (I guess it figures that out via the integrated ML algorithm).

Will it be possible to create a drop-in DLSS replacement that works across a range of games ('dlss2fsr', as suggested by a Github user) or do you see it being more of a series of mods each tailored to a given game?

PotatoOfDoom: Only with a few compromises. It would be possible to create some kind of mod that gets the FoV and Depth values from a simple ini file. This mod could work for almost any DLSS game, but the image quality might not be as good as it could be. I mean even Nvidia optimizes DLSS for certain games. For example, the first versions of DLSS had terrible ghosting in Cyberpunk, while later updates to DLSS improved the situation. I can't speak for other games, but for example Cyberpunk unintentionally sends the object ID buffer to DLSS (which is a buffer that assigns a single color value to each object in the scene). DLSS doesn't need this buffer and can't do anything with this information, but this allows me to improve anti-ghosting (especially when driving) tremendously. Also, the ComputeRootSignature bug I mentioned earlier is unique to Cyberpunk and makes this version of the FSR mod incompatible with any other game. Every single game has some unique quirks or even bugs that make it important to optimize each game to get the best experience. I obviously can't do something like this for every single game, but I think if there is some kind of DLSS2FSR framework, it should be possible for other developers with some programming experience to easily integrate and optimize FSR for other DLSS games.
