Nvidia DLSS wont be the only upscaling tech in town, as AMDs FSR will also be supported.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

God of War is coming to the PC , and when the game arrives in January 2022, it wont just boast Nvidia DLSS support but also AMDs rival frame rate boosting tech.

As spotted by VideoCardz , God of War PC will come with AMD FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), with the game shown in a list of titles which are
scheduled to benefit from the upscaling tech in the future.

This is an official list from AMD , so we can take it as a full confirmation that God of War will indeed run with FSR, albeit with the caveat that the
tech may not necessarily be in for launch. Wed presume this would be the
case, though, and even if it isnt, FSR will debut before long no doubt.

God of War on PC is already promising to be a stunning looking game, with (up to) 4K resolution and unlocked frame rates, graphical improvements which include higher resolution shadows [and] improved screen space reflections as Sony has made clear on Steam, plus ultrawide monitor support, Nvidia Reflex (lower input lag) and DLSS, and now AMD FSR to boot. Analysis: Better frame rates for everyone

God of War PC could put the console version firmly in its high-resolution shadows with the aforementioned graphical improvements, but of course smooth gameplay is more important than visual finery.

Its here that Nvidia DLSS will help, of course, effectively letting you run the game at a lower resolution and upscaling it, meaning God of War is less taxing on your GPU with not much of a sacrifice in terms of actual visual quality.

While DLSS is great, its limited to those with Nvidia RTX graphics cards, and thats why its great news that AMD FSR is in the mix, so those with Team Reds GPUs can benefit from frame rate boosting, too.

While FSR may not deliver the same level of upscaling finesse and its not AI-powered like Nvidias now considerably refined DLSS its still a great option to have, and takes a different and more open route, supporting older graphics cards (even older Nvidia GPUs like Pascal) with smoother gameplay.

The upshot of this development is faster frame rates for a much wider
audience when it comes to God of War on the PC, and that has to be a good thing.

Also, if God of War is doubling down on the frame rate boosting tech, we can hopefully expect the same from the (tentatively) rumored PC port of God of War: Ragnarok (the sequel which is set to debut in 2022 for PlayStation).
Here are the best gaming PCs
