Question DLSS Compatibility Question

[buyeye2k]

Hey guys, Ive been using an amd gpu(rx6600xt) for a couple of years, and Im thinking about upgrading and possibly switching to NVIDIA, probably a used 3000 series. However, Im very confused about DLSS compatibility.

Is DLSS 3.0 only compatible with the 4000 series? But is 3.5 compatible with the 3000 series? how is that?

Ive read that version 3.0 supports frame generation and version 3.5 supports ray reconstruction, but aside from that, is the image quality the same in both?

And what the hell are DLSS 3.1 and 3.7?

Thanks!

Nvidia has decided to use DLSS as branding rather than just the name of a specific technology so don't worry about that much. The chart in the link above is the only thing that matters as of right now.

so, 3000 series is only missing frame generation?

yes

(as of right now, who knows if nv is going to do more exclusive technologies in the future)
