Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and graphics playing cards corporations gotta incrementally replace their upscaling know-how. Just per week after Nvidia debuted DLSS 3.5, AMD is countering with the official launch of Fidelity FX Super Resolution 3, higher often called FSR 3. You can attempt it out proper now in Immortals of Aveum and…Forspoken. Oof.

Fortunately, the upgrades in FSR 3 will likely be coming to a wide range of present and future video games quickly, together with Cyberpunk, Warhammer 40: Space Marine 2, Crimson Desert, and the Yakuza spinoff Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. FSR 3’s enhancements embody “AMD Fluid Motion Frames,” which inject generated frames between natively rendered frames to spice up efficiency nicely past that of FSR 2, and a “native AA” high quality mode that applies FSR 3’s high-quality anti-aliasing and sharpening with out any upscaling for better-than-native picture high quality. Think of it as a rival to Nvidia’s common DLAA know-how. There’s a slight efficiency penalty with native AA energetic, however it may be mixed with FSR 3’s Fluid Motion Frames to extend efficiency with out upscaling.

And as AMD is fast to level out, FSR is cross-platform, and works on Nvidia and Intel graphics playing cards in addition to its personal Radeon fashions. For a deeper dive into FSR 3, try Brad’s breakdown from the August announcement.
