Struggling to hit a silky-smooth 60 FPS in the latest AAA titles without your PC sounding like a jet engine? You're not alone. In South Africa, getting maximum performance for your rand is crucial. That's where NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR come in. These powerful upscaling technologies boost your frame rates without needing a monster GPU. This guide provides a comprehensive DLSS and FSR games list to help you see which titles get a free performance injection.
What Are DLSS & FSR Anyway? ⚡
Think of them as clever shortcuts for your graphics card. Instead of rendering every single pixel at your monitor's native resolution (like 1440p or 4K), the game renders at a lower resolution and then uses advanced algorithms to intelligently scale the image up. The result? More frames per second, with minimal impact on visual quality.
NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling)
DLSS is NVIDIA's secret sauce, using artificial intelligence and dedicated Tensor Cores found on their RTX graphics cards to produce a sharp, clean image that often looks as good as… or even better than… native resolution. It's a massive selling point for NVIDIA's range of GeForce RTX cards, offering different presets like Quality, Balanced, and Performance to let you choose your ideal balance.
AMD FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution)
FSR is AMD's answer, and its biggest advantage is that it's open-source. This means it works on a huge variety of GPUs, not just AMD's. If you're running a slightly older NVIDIA card (like a GTX 10-series) or one of the excellent modern AMD Radeon GPUs, FSR can give you a significant performance lift. It's a fantastic feature that makes gaming more accessible for everyone.

Pro Tip: Choosing The Right Preset ✨
Always start with the "Quality" preset for both DLSS and FSR. This offers the best image fidelity with a solid performance boost. Only switch to "Balanced" or "Performance" modes if you're still not hitting your target frame rate. For competitive shooters, the "Ultra Performance" mode can give you the absolute highest FPS, which is perfect for high-refresh-rate monitors.
So... Which One is Better?
Honestly, both are brilliant. The "better" option usually depends on the hardware you own.
- If you have an NVIDIA RTX 20-series or newer card: DLSS will almost always provide a slightly sharper, more stable image thanks to its AI-powered reconstruction. If you have a 40-series card, DLSS 3 with Frame Generation is an absolute must-try.
- If you have an AMD GPU or an older NVIDIA card: FSR is your champion. It brings modern performance-boosting tech to a wider audience, and the latest versions are incredibly competitive on image quality.
The best part is you don't always have to choose. Many titles in our DLSS and FSR games list support both, so you can experiment and see which one you prefer visually in your favourite games. The goal is simple: more frames, more fun. 🔧
