Wish they'd stop upscaling the price

[squallleonheart]

FSR 4 so good that even MSRP got upscalled

[lebigmac]

Usually, when Tim talks about massive improvements, I look at a 300% zoom running at 25% speed and ask myself "Uhm, OK, which one is the new one?"
But holy crap, this time the improvements are that even I can see them! Wow!

[lorenzoperrone]

Eliminating TAA blur is a big matter in my opinion. It's the reason why I'm loving DLAA4 and I'm happy to see it removed on FSR4!

[jsanljohn]

"beard stability" is the new metric

[KCVitamins]

I'm a beard stability guy myself so I might go with amd this generation. Glad to see you are very thorough in your testing!

[daweitao]

Most comprehensive coverage I've seen of FSR4 and how it compares to DLSS, thank you very much

[MaxVelzgg]

Whats more impressive is the rx 9070xt prices outside the US 😭

[swjsjwv]

Incredible work, Tim! This must have taken ages to put together! It’s great to see AMD not only becoming usable but as you show even catching up to the lead Nvidia had with upscaling. We need this type of competition in the market!

[walter]

Don`t pay for scalpers. Anyone who inflates the price is a scalper (INCLUDING RETAILERS !!!)
I can only pay $50 above MSRP, will wait for months instead even after stock normalizes
Calculate the cost for your own country:
MSRP + 20/25/30% tax + 10/15% retail + 5/7% additional
9070XT in Europe should be $700 to $800, worst case $900

[average_gamer]

The amount of people I saw in line at MC yesterday that were joining team red was insane.

[georgestafylopatis]

The joke about FSR 3.1 being violent content almost killed ngl. 😂

[AugmentedGravity]

Thats some damn impressive improvement

[RandyCR]

I think we all thought FSR 4 was going to be a bit behind DLSS 3 and it would be matching XeSS.
What AMD has achieved in their first attempt of ML upscaller is just INSANE and great for competition.
So excited!

[pikaachoo]

Now lets hope FSR4 gets widespread adoption. Because that has been one of the most notable problems of FSR2 and FSR3. Its the widespread availability of DLSS that makes it good.

[hoyle]

Went from a 3080 to a 9070xt. Huge win for AMD!!!

[justinpyke]

Incredible work, Tim! It's remarkable how big the quality leap in FSR 4 is over FSR 3.

[Die_Graue_Eminenz]

Great review, thank you guys! Now lets hope more games will.support the full FSR4 feature set and implement it

[makifrable]

Okay, valve could actually have the argument to build deck2 now. Custom apu with fsr4 support + solid bump in raw raster vs 8cu rdna2 and they are actually golden. 6zen5c cores + 12RDNA4 wgp's at lower clocks to hit the right spot in efficiency curve combined with 20w tdp.

[musiclistener]

Thanks for all the time spent on this Tim :D The quality of these vids is outstanding, truly work to be proud of. I think I can even use sections to explain upscaling pros and cons to my less enthusiast friends when they ask. And for me, I can get a solid idea about the biggest non-raster feature a multi-hundred or thousand dollar purchase offers before I buy!
