This article lists games that support the various high-fidelity image upsampling technologies that are actively used in games.

Image upsampling technologies actively used in games[]

Deep Learning Super Sampling[]

Deep learning super sampling (DLSS) is an image upsampling technology developed by Nvidia for real-time use in select video games, using deep learning to upsample lower-resolution images to a higher resolution for display on higher-resolution computer monitors.^[1] NVIDIA cross-compilation is available using different versions of DLSS, for example Metro Exodus can use DLSS 2.1 even though it was shipped with DLSS 1.2, this allows any title following implementation of 1.0 DLSS to be forward compatible.

FidelityFX Super Resolution[]

FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is an image upsampling technology developed by AMD for real-time use in select video games, using traditional hand-written algorithms to upsample lower-resolution images to a higher resolution for display on higher-resolution computer monitors. It does not use machine-learning algorithms, unlike DLSS, to upsample the image, and instead relies on spatial upscaling on traditional shading units. FSR standardized Presets are not enforced and some titles such as Dota 2 offer resolution sliders.^[2]

Intel XeSS[]

XeSS is an image upsampling technology developed by Intel for real-time use in select video games, using deep learning to upsample lower-resolution images to a higher resolution for display on higher-resolution computer monitors.^[3]

Nvidia Image Scaler (NIS)[]

NIS is an image upsampling technique that uses directional scaling in four directions along with an adaptive sharpening filter. There are two versions of NIS: a driver-level version that can be applied system-wide, and an SDK that can be used by developers to implement functionality on a per-program basis.^[4] Driver version currently is buggy and SDK hasn't been implemented in any games as of yet.

Games with upsampling technology[]

Games with unofficial implementations of upscaling technology[]

Software with official implementations of upscaling technology[]

Wine has added FSR support,^[97][100] meaning that Linux users now can use FSR in Wine-supported titles. This means that Proton, based on Wine, also supports FSR. Note that the implementation used by Wine is more limited than games that have FSR support built-in, as Wine uses an implementation that applies the effect at the end of the rendering pipeline. Note that ReShade developers have ported FSR in a shader called FakeSR. This shader currently is only a proof-of-concept and isn't ready for mainstream use. One of the current issues with FakeSR is that ReShade 4.X can't change resolution; this is expected to be changed with later versions of Reshade. Reshade 5.0 will not have this feature. Although this is a heavy limitation, there are discussions about other uses for FSR technology under ReShade.^{[citation needed]}

On August 1st, 2021, Blinue added FSR into his open source upscaling project MagPie,^[101] which allows FSR to be modded into nearly any application. This works similarly to the Wine implementation, but for Windows. This was also used in the application Lossless Scaling released the same day^[102]
