Upscaling in Diablo 4
Diablo 4 doesn’t support all the upscaling technologies from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. For instance, your Nvidia RTX graphics card can have DLSS as well as FSR and XeSS; however, the game will only use DLSS.
And although FSR is available on Intel’s ARC A770 and A750, Diablo 4 will only use XeSS for upscaling.
It is strange, but it’s actually good for the game, as between DLSS and FSR, the former is the better tech.
