As a part of a Gamescom announcement blitz that additionally noticed the reveal of latest Radeon RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT graphics cards and FSR 3.0, AMD lastly delivered on its long-promised Hyper-RX function — full with a shock twist that builds and expands on FSR 3.0’s key know-how.

AMD first teased Hyper-RX all the way in which again in November 22. It’s not really a brand new function, per se; as a substitute, it’s a singular swap that prompts Radeon Software’s current Radeon Super Resolution, Radeon Boost, and Radeon Anti-Lag applied sciences multi function go to drastically enhance each body charges and responsiveness in video games.

Radeon Super Resolution is basically a simplified model of AMD’s performance-boosting FSR 1.0 upscaling know-how. Radeon Boost builds upon that by intelligently decreasing the decision when quick on-screen consumer motion is detected, serving to improve efficiency when the motion is scorching and heavy (and also you’re unlikely to note a decreased decision). Radeon Anti-Lag improves CPU pacing in GPU-bound video games to extend click-to-response occasions.

Flipping the Hyper-RX swap prompts all three. In tandem, AMD says, Hyper-RX delivers deeply tangible gaming enhancements, as you possibly can see within the chart beneath.

It’s price noting that Radeon Boost is barely out there in choose video games, and that features all of the video games within the chart above. Even with Radeon Super Resolution and Anti-Lag energetic, nonetheless, your video games ought to really feel considerably quicker, albeit presumably with a slight downgrade in visible high quality (particularly in the event you’re enjoying at 1080p decision).

Hyper-RX will make its debut in a brand new Radeon Software driver releasing on September 6, alongside the Radeon RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT. But what’s coming in a later replace is much more thrilling.

Hyper-RX will get AMD Fluid Motion Frames

The secret sauce in AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3.0 (FSR 3.0) is the addition of “AMD Fluid Motion Frames.” Like Nvidia’s vaunted DLSS 3, AMD’s answer interpolates frames between the frames natively generated by your graphics card, solely with out the necessity for devoted AI {hardware} because it doesn’t depend on machine studying. Doing so enormously will increase your general body fee and visible smoothness due to all these “fake” frames.

Here’s the factor although: While FSR 3 and DLSS 3 require energetic integration by recreation builders, AMD says its Fluid Motion Frames know-how does not. That means it may be baked into Radeon Software at a driver stage and used for nearly all video games, numbering 1000’s of titles. So the corporate plans to incorporate Fluid Motion Frames into Hyper-RX sooner or later sooner or later to extend efficiency much more.

Whoa.

AMD

AMD didn’t delve into the nitty-gritty particulars of how Fluid Motion Frames works or promise a timeline on when its coming to Hyper-RX, nor have we seen FSR 3 in motion to gauge its high quality, however that’s a very engaging function on paper. Being capable of flip on a DLSS 3-like know-how in nearly any recreation might imply large issues for on a regular basis gaming for Radeon house owners.

Better but, since “fake” frames can lower responsiveness, it must be balanced by a lag-reduction function. There’s a motive Nvidia Reflex is necessary in DLSS 3 video games. As a part of the Hyper-RX suite, Fluid Motion Frames will naturally be paired with AMD’s personal Radeon Anti-Lag.

Exciting occasions. I can’t wait to mess around with Hyper-RX myself, and see how these Fluid Motion Frames deal with in FSR 3.0. We’ve received more information about FSR 3 and the new Radeon RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT graphics cards if you wish to go even deeper down the AMD rabbit gap.
