Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6800M is support for FSR 3 / AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 6800M relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
