After three years in early access, Larian Studio's Baldur's Gate 3 is finally getting a retail launch on August 3. In conjunction with its official release, Nvidia has announced that DLSS 2 will come with the game, providing RTX gamers access to Nvidia's performance-enhancing upscaling technology on day 1.
...
One thing you won't find in Baldur's Gate 3, at least not initially, is support for other upscaling solutions like AMD's FSR 2 or Intel's XeSS. But FSR 2 support is at least coming. Yesterday's community update states, "We'll continue to work on implementing FSR 2.0, but that will be closer to September 6." There's no mention of XeSS as yet, though you'd think that with DLSS 2 and FSR 2 already, adding XeSS shouldn't be too hard.

Nice to see Larian support FSR 2 for AMD cards too...eventually.
I have an Nvidia 3080 card and playing on a 4K TV. Hope I can get it looking pretty with DLSS 2.

I'm hoping I can make it look pretty ar 4k with a 4090. I had an old FX CPU and couldn't get decent frames (not surprised). Building the new rig now. Fingers crossed.

What's your build?
I just built a PC in January.

ASUS Prime Z690-A LGA
Intel Core i7-12700KF
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz C40-40-40-77 1.25V
ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

I am sure I can manage 4k with Nvidia's DLSS

I gave in and ordered last minute, but ended up with:

Asus TUF B650 PLUS WIFI
Ryzen 7700X (8 core)
Corsair Vengence DDR5 6200MHz 32GB
Asus TUF 4090
2x Samsung 980 Pro PCIE 4.0 NVME drives

Besides the graphics, (I was on 2x970 GTX 970), it was the load times that were killing me on a SATA SSD. I'm a save scummer, at least in early access.

I wasn't going to build a new PC for this game. I WASN'T!

Looks sweet. I use my 4k TV as a monitor and play on steam with my Xbox controller. Very comfortable on my sofa.

I bet your system won't even need Nvidia's DLSS. Looks like your PC has the RAW power to max everything and not have to upscale it.

That's the hope. I'm using. 4k TV as well, but more as a monitor. I'm going to try a PS controller as well, I've always been a K&M boy, but I can see how it could work with this game. I hate the click and follow.

Let me know if you want to be a mod here, you post more than I do, and I just set it up as part of my effort to get Reddit's claws out of me.
