This tutorial will guide you on how to enable DLSS or FSR in Returnal.
Returnal, a remarkable game with awe-inspiring visuals, can be a real test for your PC’s hardware capabilities.
Hence, it’s not uncommon to experience a sluggish frame rate, which could impede your gaming experience.
Thankfully, there’s a solution to this problem, by enabling DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) or FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), you can significantly improve your frame rate without having to compromise image quality.
DLSS and FSR are two different technologies that serve the same purpose – to boost your frame rate while maintaining image quality.
While DLSS is developed by Nvidia and uses AI to upscale images, FSR is developed by AMD and uses a different algorithm to upscale images.
Although both technologies can enhance your in-game FPS, choosing the best option will depend on your graphics card and preferences.
Keep reading to learn how to enable DLSS or FSR in Returnal.
How to Enable DLSS/FSR in Returnal
Firstly, ensure that your GPU is compatible. DLSS is only compatible with Nvidia GPUs with RTX cores, while FSR is compatible with both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Once you’ve confirmed compatibility, follow these steps:
- Launch Returnal and head to the “Settings” menu.
- Click on “Graphics” to access the graphics settings.
- Under “General,” look for the “Screen Optimizations” option.
- Click on “Screen Optimizations” to access the DLSS/FSR options.
- If you have an Nvidia GPU, you will see the “DLSS” option. Choose the level of DLSS you want to use. We recommend starting with the “Balanced” option and adjusting it based on your preferences and system performance.
- If you have an AMD GPU or an Nvidia GPU without DLSS support, you will see the “FSR” option. Choose the level of FSR you want to use. Similar to DLSS, we recommend starting with the “Balanced” option and adjusting it accordingly.
Conclusion
And that’s it! Enabling DLSS/FSR can significantly enhance your game’s performance without compromising its visual quality.
If you encounter any bugs or issues, you can always return to the graphics settings and turn off DLSS/FSR.
FAQs
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) are two technologies that can upscale images using different algorithms to improve your in-game FPS.
DLSS is only available on Nvidia GPUs with RTX cores, while FSR is available on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
Launch Returnal, go to the “Settings” menu, click on “Graphics,” find the “Screen Optimizations” option, select DLSS/FSR, and choose the level you want to use.
No, enabling DLSS/FSR will not significantly impact image quality.
