most of the time turning on the AI upscaling makes things run worse and I don’t even understand that
My understanding is that DLSS/FSR are usually converting GPU load into a lesser CPU load. But if you’re already bottlenecked by your CPU, using the upscalers will hurt your performance instead.
DLSS uses the dedicated GPU hardware in RTX cards to do the upscaling. It doesn’t affect CPU load. FSR is GPU based too, but doesn’t require dedicated GPU hardware like DLSS does which is why it works on all GPUs.
I got a Ryzen 5 3600. It shouldn’t be bottlenecked. But also, the games where it does make things worse run absolutely perfect without it, and the ones that work better with it on run like ass without it, so I had been assuming that maybe it was messing things up because I really don’t even need it. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah……the cpu is the bottleneck…… the GPU goes underutilized because the cpu isn’t capable of feeding it enough data…….
Software that is cpu heavy will make the cpu the bottleneck, and no matter how much more GPU you throw at it it will not get any more performance. Have a look at a game like space marine 2.

A Ryzen 5 3600 isn’t some powerhouse, it absolutely will be a bottleneck in many recent games.
A bottleneck occurs when a computer component limits the performance of other components; not because it can’t keep up with the software.
