Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR don't belong in system requirements for PC games

System requirements are important to PC gamers. They are the guides that give what should be a reasonable expectation of how a gaming PC will perform in any given game. Whether it's just the basic minimum and recommended specs or the more demanding needs of ultra settings, system requirements are important, and the recent trend of upscaling being used in them needs to stop.

Let me make it clear that this isn't an attempt to bring down the use of upscaling. Even the best gaming PC can benefit from the use of upscaling or frame generation in the right conditions. It's an incredibly useful tool that we sometimes actively use when testing the latest games. However, the likes of Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR do not belong in system requirements, especially if the game requires it at all tiers, as we've seen recently with FBC Firebreak and Hell is Us.
