I do agree that the Ultimate Edition could have FSR as it is more recent, though.
OptiScaler, An Open-Source Tool, Now Allows You To Run AMD's FSR 4 On Any Title, But They Must Support DLSS/XeSS Upscalers
x.com/i/status/1899086374923337834Currently, the developer has listed a total of 22 titles that work with the FSR 4 compatibility mod:
Also the patch hasn't made its way to GOG yet.
How's that Horizon Forbidden West coming along, hmmm?
But if you're looking for the cleanest image, 1440p or 4k DLAA is the way to go, dlss4 upscaling doesn't solve the "boiling" issues, although does improve them.
And the amount of raytracing rays is more granular, ultra preset being 3, goes up to 8 max.
On the plus side I did try to use DLSS4 via nvidia app on the modded version but it didn't work, works fine now.
Going to have to play this now. :D
Maybe worth playing again to see the differences between previous 6600XT and current 7800XT.
Considering the low quality of recent games i consider this game more in the middle now.
I never understood the hype for that game. One giveaway from epic game store but not a good one. there were better ones in regards of game fun and disk size and game concepts.
The last of us part 1 is similar - you have to do a few things in a certain tight spot. Same as in control.
Star wars jedi survivor gives the impression of maybe more choices. In my point of view it's the same for star wars jedi survivor and control. You have to do now those few things.
Those random spawn mobs was an elegant way to get rid of the usual random spawn mob issue which most games have.
Deus ex human revolution is much better of game mechanics and choice.
