Today is a big day for owners of AMD graphics cards as it marks the launch of
FSR 3, a new version of AMD's upscaling and frame generation technology. Word
is: "AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 transforms gaming experiences with
massive and responsive framerates in supported games using a combination of
super resolution temporal upscaling technology, frame generation using AMD Fluid
Motion Frames3 (AFMF) technology, and built-in latency reduction technology."
FSR 3 support is now available in
Forspoken, will arrive later today in
Immortals of Aveum, and there's a list of other games in the process of
implementation. Here's the previously released
AMD
FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 First Look trailer with a look. Additionally,
this article announces the launch of a
preview driver with a technical preview of AMD Fluid Motion Frames. Here's
an explanation of that: "AFMF adds frame generation technology to DirectX® 11
and 12 games on AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 Series Desktop Graphics." Here's more from
this blog post on the launch of FSR 3:
The two key updates in AMD FSR
3 are frame generation and the new “Native AA” quality mode. FSR 3 frame
generation uses an enhanced version of AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) optical
flow technology and temporal game data such as motion vectors to generate
additional high-quality frames for a higher framerate in supported games, up to
2x2. You can learn more technical details about how FSR 3 frame generation works
in our new
in-depth blog on GPUOpen.
When combined with super resolution upscaling, this technology enables massive
framerates in supported games, even at 4K using the highest game settings. Frame
generation can be used with any of the AMD FSR upscaling quality modes,
including “Quality” and “Performance”, so the ratio of upscaling image quality
to performance can be configured to suit individual preferences.
The new “Native AA” (Native Anti-Aliasing) quality mode applies high-quality
anti-aliasing and sharpening without any upscaling for improved image quality
over native resolution. There is a modest performance cost when using this new
mode, but when combined with frame generation, “Native AA” mode can provide
enhanced image quality and a boost in
framerate.
