AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution Three know-how package deal launched a plethora of enhancements to the FSR know-how on Radeon RX 6000 and 7000-series graphics playing cards final September. But perfection has no limits, so this week, the corporate is rolling out its FSR 3.1 know-how, which improves upscaling high quality, decouples body era from AMD’s upscaling, and makes it simpler for builders to work with FSR.
Arguably, AMD’s FSR 3.1’s main enhancement is its improved temporal upscaling picture high quality: in comparison with FSR 2.2, the picture glints much less at relaxation and not ghosts when in motion. This is a major enchancment, as flickering and ghosting artifacts are notably annoying. Meanwhile, FSR 3.1 must be applied by the sport developer itself, and the primary title to assist this new know-how someday later this yr is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Another important improvement introduced by FSR 3.1 is its decoupling from the Frame Generation characteristic launched by FSR 3. This functionality depends on a type of AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) optical movement interpolation. It makes use of temporal sport knowledge like movement vectors so as to add a further body between current ones. This potential can result in a efficiency enhance of as much as two occasions in appropriate video games, however it was initially tied to FSR Three upscaling, which is a limitation. Starting from FSR 3.1, it should work with different upscaling strategies, although AMD refrains from saying which strategies and on which {hardware} for now. Also, the corporate doesn’t disclose when it’s anticipated to be applied by sport builders.
In addition, AMD is bringing assist for FSR3 to Vulkan and Xbox Game Development Kit, enabling sport builders on these platforms to make use of it. It additionally provides FSR 3.1 to the FidelityFX API, which simplifies debugging and allows ahead compatibility with up to date variations of FSR.
Upon its launch in September 2023, AMD FSR Three was initially supported by two titles, Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, with ten extra video games poised to hitch them again then. Fast ahead to 6 months later, the lineup has expanded to a formidable roster of 40 video games both at present supporting or set to include FSR Three shortly. As of March 2024, FSR is supported by video games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Starfield, The Last of Us Part I. Shortly, Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2 Stay Human, Frostpunk 2, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will assist FSR shortly.
