FSR on 4K display with underpowered GPU (lemm.ee)

Currently using a 1440p 27", looking at upgrading to a 4K model mostly for dev work. I do occasionally game though but only have an rx6600 which obviously can't handle native 4K gaming. I'm wondering though if I just make use of FSR/Radeon Super Resolution I should be able to at a minimum get the same picture quality I'm getting right now with no loss in performance. Is that right?

Just be aware FSR isn't available in all games but needs to be specifically supported, so please check that the games you want to play/benefit from upscaling. You should also be aware that the results from FSR will vary from game to game

An alternative is to switch the resolution down from 4k to 1440p when you game. I do this, setting my living room PC to 1440k on my 4k TV which works well enough but I'm sat some distance from the screen.

Doesn't Radeon Super Resolution work at the driver level and work with anything? I normally play games on a few year delay so that might be a dealbreaker if not the case

You're right, my bad. I got RSR mixed up with FSR, that said the results from the former are apparently not as good, so whilst you'd gain performance wise, it might suffer more visually
