AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution is growing up. The new FSR 3 feature promises to generate frames and multiply your performance, finally providing Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling tech with a challenge.
Related FSR 3 introduces two significant enhancements: frame interpolation and a new Native AA quality mode. In concept, frame interpolation is similar to Nvidia’s DLSS 3 frame generation. According to AMD, it has been designed to insert an additional frame between two already rendered frames. Frame generation in FSR 3 also makes use of an improved iteration of AMD Fluid Motion Frames optical flow technology, along with temporal game data like motion vectors.
One can expect performance gains that nearly quadruple the frame rate in supported games. In the past, AMD had shared performance numbers for Forspoken using FSR 3 with the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7800 XT graphics cards. But we now have an updated look at how it performs across a wider range of GPUs, including the Radeon RX 6000 series.
What GPUs support FSR 3? Unlike Nvidia’s DLSS technology, FSR 3 is an open technology and does not require machine learning hardware. Thus, it is supported on a wide range of products and platforms, including consoles. FSR 3 with super-resolution upscaling and frame generation can be accessed using an AMD Radeon RX 5000 series GPU or above, as well as Nvidia RTX 20-series cards and above.
