Introduction

Redfall was developed on Unreal Engine 4 with DirectX 12 exclusively, which usually means that ray tracing is supported, but like with the recent Atomic Heart release, which was also built on Unreal Engine 4 with DirectX 12 and originally announced with ray tracing features, it was stripped out of Redfall and postponed into one of the future updates. This release on PC has support for NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS 2.3), NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation (also known as DLSS 3), NVIDIA's Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA), Intel's Xe Super Sampling 1.0 (XeSS 1.0) and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (FSR 2.1) from day one. In order to run this game at maximum graphics settings and reasonable framerates at native resolution, quite a powerful GPU is required, which is why upscaling solutions are so important. But depending on the game, there are subtle differences in the implementation of NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS 2.3), NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation (also known as DLSS 3), NVIDIA's Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA), Intel's Xe Super Sampling 1.0 (XeSS 1.0) and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (FSR 2.1), so we are keen to have a look at these temporal upscalers in this game.



Below, you will find comparison screenshots at 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and in different DLSS, XeSS and FSR 2.1 quality modes; the TAA, DLAA and DLSS Frame Generation screenshots are also available in the dropdown menu. For those who want to see how DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Frame Generation and FSR 2.1 perform in motion, watch our side-by-side comparison video. The video can help uncover issues like shimmering or temporal instability, which are not visible in the screenshots.

All tests were made using a GeForce RTX 4080 GPU at Epic graphics settings; motion blur and depth of field were disabled for better image viewing. DLSS Super Resolution in this game shipped with version 2.3.1 and DLSS Frame Generation shipped with version 3.1.1.
