Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the Radeon RX 5300M is support for FSR Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The GeForce RTX 2060 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 2060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 5300M leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
