AMD Announces FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), its DLSS-rival
AMD finally made a big announcement on its ambitious FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology, the company's rival to NVIDIA's popular DLSS. Much like it, FSR aims to significantly improve gaming performance with minimal loss in image quality, through a sophisticated supersampling algorithm. At this point, AMD did not detail the nuts and bolts of the feature, but mentioned how the feature could look to gamers.
There are four FSR presets typically available to a supported game—Ultra Quality, Quality, Balanced, and Performance, which AMD claims offer performance gains of 59% for "Ultra Quality," 102% for "Quality," 153% for "Balanced," and 206% for "Performance." These should come particularly handy when playing games with raytracing on; and were measured on "Godfall" with RX 6800 XT, with 4K "epic" preset, and raytracing enabled. As of now, the company is working with over 10 game studios and game engine developers to integrate FSR, and the technology is expected to support "over 100 CPUs and GPUs."Update Jun 22nd: We have now posted our in-depth review of AMD Radeon FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
The FSR slide-deck follows.

and theirs no reason to think they wont be able to improve this a little more in the future
its super super odd to see high end pc snobs comment so stupidly and so earlty... like wow .... so the not top visaul settign is used on a2016 card... yet the snobs are insanly harsh before all the stats are shown?!?!? pc elieist are you using a 2016 low end card yet posted a comment.... we need nvidia ai to filter out tolls/ harassers/ pessatmisc ppl... this is FREE on a 2016 card..... and in motion all that is gone ff half of doom eternal the speed hides the low poly/ distant/ textures... if im wrong zoom in on them... the engine is not that amazing it hides stuff much like the 400 dollar gorgus new rachet game that is past many pc visuals because they hide them
so as a gamer , I will take every extra piece of FPS that I can get.
