most of the time turning on the AI upscaling makes things run worse and I don't even understand that

My understanding is that DLSS/FSR are usually converting GPU load into a lesser CPU load. But if you're already bottlenecked by your CPU, using the upscalers will hurt your performance instead.

I got a Ryzen 5 3600. It shouldn't be bottlenecked. But also, the games where it does make things worse run absolutely perfect without it, and the ones that work better with it on run like ass without it, so I had been assuming that maybe it was messing things up because I really don't even need it. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
