DLSS, FSR & XeSS, WTF Does All This Mean for Gamers?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
1080p No Upscaling
The performance is great, as to be expected, using basically maxed-out settings with ray tracing turned off.
1080p DLSS Quality
Amazingly, DLSS didn’t do much here, but a small boost is a boost I guess.
1080p XeSS Quality
XeSS actually lowered the performance by one frame, but I suspect it’ll work better with (you guessed it) an Intel GPU.
1080p FidelityFX CAS
While this isn’t strictly an upscaling technology, it’s more a sharpening tool, it netted similar performance to XeSS.
1440p No Upscaling
Again, decent performance at 1440p with maxed-out settings and ray tracing turned off.
1440p DLSS Quality
DLSS definitely had an impact here, giving us an additional 12 FPS.
1440p XeSS Quality
XeSS to a lesser extent, but still, it ran great.
1440p FidelityFX CAS
FidelityFX actually lowered the performance, but again, I was more just curious about the sharpening technologies performance figures too.
