Upscaling can't save the world's slowest 'modern' GPU — FSR doubles performance on GT 1030, but titles still barely playable

GT 1030.

After testing FSR and XeSS upscaling on a GTX 660, YouTuber GCS Hardware has moved on to the GT 1030 (the GDDR5 variant) to see how the slowest DX12-capable GPU copes with upscaling. According to a video they published on the matter, the GT 1030 technically can take advantage of FSR upscaling, but it still isn't enough to boost FPS to playable territory, except on GTA V: Enhanced Edition.

The YouTuber expanded their testing suite with more modern titles, featuring: Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Space Marine II, Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, CS 2, and GTA V Enhanced.
