One thing to look ahead to: FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (FSR) is AMD’s resolution for upscaling video games to enhance efficiency on a variety of graphics playing cards. Staff Pink did not say a lot about the way forward for the characteristic at its RDNA 3 presentation this week, but it surely confirmed that the following stage of FSR’s evolution is on the way in which.
Through the Radeon 7000 sequence graphics card reveal, AMD briefly talked about FSR 3, the successor to its AI-based decision upscaling method. Particulars are scarce, however the replace will arrive in 2023.
Whereas the presentation confirmed loads of video games operating with FSR 2, it solely teased FSR 3 with an Unreal Engine 5 demo. The third technology of FSR might provide double the 4K framerates of its predecessor utilizing a characteristic referred to as Fluid Movement Frames. The identify brings to thoughts Nvidia’s DLSS Body Era, a complicated movement interpolation method the corporate revealed with DLSS 3 in September.
Unique to Nvidia’s new RTX 4000 sequence graphics playing cards, Body Era makes use of proprietary Optical Circulate Accelerators to create new frames in-between historically rendered frames. Assessments present that the characteristic can dramatically enhance framerates in sure conditions but in addition will increase enter latency. Fluid Movement Frames might work equally, however the firm did not say whether or not its new method wants particular {hardware}.
When discussing FSR throughout the presentation, AMD repeatedly talked about the expertise’s openness which lets it run on all fashionable GPUs. In distinction, DLSS solely runs on Nvidia’s RTX 2000, 3000, and 4000 playing cards. Staff Pink may keep its present stance by making FSR 3 suitable with non-AMD GPUs.
One thing not talked about within the presentation was machine studying — DLSS’s principal benefit over FSR. In June, leaked Github repository patches advised that AMD could be creating its response to the Tensor Cores that DLSS machine studying is dependent upon, which might characteristic within the Radeon 7000 and FSR 3.
The repository patches might even have been referring to a different new RDNA characteristic AMD introduced this week — AI accelerators. The AI accelerators are supposed to enhance efficiency, however the firm did not say whether or not they work by way of decision upscaling like Nvidia’s Tensor Cores.
Radeon 7900 XTX and 7900 XT playing cards launch on December 13 for $999 and $899, respectively.
