If you’re playing PC games and not using supersampling, you’re gaming wrong

Nvidia DLSS 3.5 vs native screen resolution with a car driving through Night City in Cyberpunk 2077.

When we review the best gaming laptops here at Tom’s Guide, our testing guru Matthew Murray runs frame rate benchmarks at both a laptop’s native screen resolution and 1080p (1920 x 1080). It’s a key process in detecting the raw processing power of a portable PC’s GPU, and these figures absolutely do matter. 

Yet if you own either an Nvidia 30-series or 40-series graphics card — both ranges support Team Green’s DLSS — or if a game supports either AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution or Intel XeSS, and you’re not using any of these forms of supersampling, you’re doing PC gaming wrong.
