AMD's FidelityFX, thoughts?

I think Nvidia DLSS sounds amazing, I have yet to see it in person but I'm certain it's the way of the future; A.I is getting super powerful and useful! Judging from videos I've seen it's super cool and interesting, and now AMD have released their equivalent of it.

In fairness, it doesn't look great looking at their own footage (granted, from a compressed YouTube video), but it's comparable to DLSS' first generation, and if that's the case then FFX could improve over time. Since it works with AMD and Nvidia cards, I imagine it could be huge, especially since AMD hardware is in the new consoles; consoles could benefit hugely in performance from this, and even more so for handhelds for consoles like the switch. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if that's how Nintendo could achieve 4K in their Switch Pro.

Then again, I'm overhyping this, it doesn't seem great at the moment, but boy am I excited for the future possibilities. How about you?
 
I'm looking forward to see how it does. Love the fact that it also does Nvidia cards. I just sold my 1070, wish I had kept it for a little longer to see how the improvement was.
 
its amazing how many new members there are today :)
Gotta love the PC community, nothing but arguments and misunderstandings haha

Also lotta new members, including myself, trying to get the new cards lol. Chances are slim, and idk even how it works, but I assume it's for older members. Still, I never even knew about this site until a few months ago, and doubly didn't know about the forum haha

its always worth a go I tend to go on forum lapses
post for a few months then disapear for a year or 4 but lockdown has made me hang around more
 
Ah right okay, must have misunderstood! Pretty good though, makes less reason to get an amd GPU though?
I suppose, but I guess AMD are just being nice. Nvidia already have DLSS anyway, which is better, but who knows, maybe developers won't bother with DLSS and just focus on AMD's version since it's on most cards.

Maybe, depends how easy it is to implement too, we will see!
 
Even though it may not be DLSS 2.0 quality and a software based solution rather than hardware, anything to help the industry in it's current climate with GPUs and people not being able to upgrade I'd say it's a step in the right direction!

its still going to be using the hardware to translate

and will not need 1000's of 10k pictures of everygame to even stand a chance of working

I may have misunderstood fully how it's going to work then :). I am excited for it, I think it's a step in the right direction. As a web developer and having to support the public sector who still use IE 11, people on older hardware (or software in my case) should never feel left out imo
 
It works with Nvidia cards by default (supposedly), which means I don't even think it's up to Nvidia, it's up to developers by the looks of it

Theoretically it can be up to Nvidia if they decide to put a block in their driver which stops the cards from using FSR when its detected. Would be pretty anti-consumer if they did that though.
