FSR 3.1 vs DLSS showdown: How does AMD's latest upscaler version compare to Nvidia's finest for performance and image quality?

An FSR vs DLSS comparison image, showing Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet from, err, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

When it comes to upscalers, there's little doubt that Nvidia's DLSS has become the go-to choice when compared to its nearest rivals—AMD's FSR and Intel's XeSS. Image quality comparisons have repeatedly shown that Nvidia's upscaling solution simply preserves detail better than the others, with less flickering, shimmering and graining—and often better performance to boot.

However, AMD has recently released FSR 3.1, a supposedly much improved version of its own upscaling tech. Unlike DLSS (and like previous versions of FSR) this latest release is still graphics card agnostic thanks to its compute-based approach to upscaling.
