DLSS 4.5 won both rounds, but the margin was far smaller than commonly claimed online. Spider-Man 2 showed a clear DLSS advantage in sharpness and edge detail, while Hogwarts Legacy required close pixel-peeping to distinguish the two. The conclusion: DLSS remains the more refined upscaler, but FSR 4 has closed the gap significantly, and given the ~$200 price difference between the two GPUs, the value proposition of Nvidia's ecosystem edge is now debatable. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
