At work, so I cannot access the DSO Gaming preview of FSR 3.0, but the general impressions out there early on are reasonably positive. It basically sounds like the worst part of FSR 3.0 is FSR 2.0: the fake frames are doing their job, but the upscaling tech still leaves something to be desired.
Once again I will state that I am all for any tech that will keep e-waste out of the bin for a few years and let older cards that might have gone to the scrap heap get a second life in either their existing boxes or as used upgrade options for folks on truly antiquated hardware; however we are already beginning to see the effects this type of upscaling and frame generation crap is having on contemporary releases with upscaling already being automatically activated as part of preset-settings. I'm sure we're not far from having frame gen activated out of the box as well, and only a little more time before the option to turn it off disappears entirely.
On one hand, a red letter day for AMD, on the other a dark day for PC gaming as a whole.
