However, considering that the RTX 4090 costs $600 more than the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the marginal performance difference is not justified.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAQ 2: What is the Difference between DLSS 3 and FSR 3?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> The DLSS 3 and the FSR 3 are proprietary AI super sampling and upscaling technologies of Nvidia and AMD, respectively. The DLSS 3 uses Nvidia&#8217;s Frame Generation with the 4-generation Tensor Cores to achieve better upscaling. AMD relies on its Fluid Motion Frame Technology. While being named differently, the purpose of both the DLSS 3 and FSR 3 is the same. They upscale resolution by generating &#8220;AI&#8221; frames that fill in the pixels, thus, putting less stress on the GPU.<\/p>\n<p>A comparative analysis of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/omggamer.com\/blog\/amd-radeon-hd-7990-vs-nvidia-rtx-4090\/\" data-lasso-id=\"14975\"><strong>AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090<\/strong><\/a> is all you need to make an informed choice.
