Fidelity Super Resolution in 2021

The fact this is free, works on almost every single Radeon GPU that is a lot of AMD users about to get free performance and then it also works on nvidia GPU

How can anyone dislike this?

Tell you what just go into any of the chats from videos AMD is getting massive credit here and rightly so.

GTX 10 series enjoy your free performance.

Exactly, good news all round for everyone.

Also means amd might increase the ray tracing effects in their sponsored games too now.

you either mix in rich circles or large credit card bills who like to willy waggle about how big and posh my tv is ;) tbh I just change one when the old one dies

saying that its the same thing with cars lost count of how many people I know who lease a posh car for £400-600 a month and then complain they have no money

monitor side of things everyone I know plays competative first person shooters so 4k is a complete no go zone

For the last number of years it's probably been harder to walk into a store and buy a TV that's NOT 4k.

oled nice

to be fair I do buy the best I can afford when it is time to upgrade but try to be sensible

unlike my former workmate and his 3d tv despite us warning him it was gimick

I follow a similar principle to you. The only 4K TV users I know bought one when their old one died and they has no choice. As for 3D, I accidently bought a TV that could also do 3D. Hardly used it then recently started to try it out and it's great, nothing like a monster movie with 3D. Samsung active 3D works very well.
 
I didn't want to draw any conclusion before seeing it but now that they've finally presented it... that's pretty disappointing. At least with Unreal you get TSR which looks genuinely like a good DLSS rival. Personally I feel like they could've done a lot more, and a lot sooner, particularly with VRS and other combos. This is an easier way to do things and with wider applicability but it's also not worth much.

I guess on PC now there's definitively no reason to buy an AMD gpu (unless you're into Linux). Not sure what they're going to do with RDNA 3 but they're lucky it's a sellers market atm.

I can't see whats bad about this as its a setting one doesnt have to use and I'm sure FSR will get better with time like DLSS.

The blurriness comes from getting drunk off the sweet sweet Finewine™ :D

Slighty off topic, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I have to question seeing screenshot comparisons using jpeg/jpg formats as I thought this had compression to reduce file sizes and thus image quality.

pretty much untill they release they running clip at its recorded native resolution and you can match it we will not know

did watch the amd presentation but again it hard to tell

Why wouldnt there be a reason to go AMD? You already have GPUS like the 3070 struggling with their limited VRAM on games like resident evil and godfall, also easier to grab a 6900 than a 3090 (and they are around 700 quid cheaper), easy to find them selling for 1500 regularly on OCUK, 1500 wouldnt even get you a 3080 nowadays.

Same here.

Good to see AMD have made this a feature open to all modern gfx cards. How good it is remains to be seen but if it is reasonable then it will provide a nice boost to those using older hardware for whatever reason (I imagine very many are stuck with it, either unwilling to upgrade at current prices or unable to find stock). I'll definitely be trying it out once released. And if it isn't to your liking? Then just carry on as you are, no need to use it.
 
One if the shots they picked to show off the image quality for FSR looked awful, like someone smeared vaseline over half the screen, and they labeled this "Quality".

If that's the best they could cherry pick then damn, that's bad. :confused:

Great that it will work on pretty much anything, but if the image quality is that bad, I don't want it.
 
So I go to the youtube links, comments surprisingly heavy on 1060 users being positive about FSR.

Ah I see, they can't use DLSS and 1060s are the most popular card.

Sounds good then.

Aside from the fact that youtube comments appear to have less mentally wonky fanboy posts than here.

Upscaling has a quality penalty. I'm slowly getting around to the tradeoff being acceptable for the purposes of having a larger and higher fps output.

FSR appears to just be a resolution slider, ya know that feature that many games have already. It doesn't use any motion vector or info from other frames, it simple adjusts the input resolution like a resolution slider and probably throws a sharpening filter over it. I'm surprised it doesn't just work at the driver for every game out of the box. It's therefore impossible for FSR to be comparable to native, it doesn't replace TAA or any anti aliasing, it just reduces your image quality and sharpens it, you're left with less pixel detail and same TAA
