Fidelity Super Resolution in 2021

Yeah, cus AMD are bound to be honest and up front and not the usual sack of **** lies from the sack of **** Frank Azor.

I would say not supporting something in official way doesn't mean it won't work on it. It just means AMD isn't testing nor specifically optimising for these cards but likely the decision for game to let you enable it or not will lie with devs of that game, not with AMD.

They've now dropped support for the older cards from their drivers, so it might not be that simple if you can't install a driver that supports FSR.
 
I simply can't abide ******** from company shills. AMD and especially Frank said there would be no issues with availability on new 6000 series GPUs. Frank even went as far as saying "look I bought a 6800 and only had to refresh twice and re-add to my basket a few times before I got it working".

So whatever AMD say about FSR you can take with a mountain of salt because they are a company out to get your money and will lie through their teeth to get it. I will wait until unbiased reviews and comparisons are out before deciding.
 
yeah that tweet from Frank annoyed me look how easy it is to add into basket yeah right not that it matters AMD dont even do UK drops

"Make no mistake this is AMD's competitor to Nvidia's DLSS" :cry:

AMD has sent out these guidelines to reviewers to ensure it doesn't get compared to DLSS, hopefully those sites call out AMD for it

its different technologies where one tech can be implemented easily like FSR and the other not so much.
The main selling argument for dlss is ray tracing and now that is gone, go buy amd

I think your forgetting that DLSS and FSR both work on nvidia cards.

You do realise the 6900XT struggles to rise above 20FPS with RT?


FSR needs to improve RDNA2 RT or, as I said ~8months ago, AMD will hold PC gaming back.
 
Well, just had a quick play on Godfall and took a few screenshots.

I have to say the performance increase is impressive, couldn't really tell any major difference on the Ultra Quality setting vs native and didn't notice any glaring issues at first glance when using Ultra Quality.

I will have a proper play and assessment on Godfall and Terminator resistance once I've finished work later today as I only turned it on, took some screenshots and ran around in a circle. :p

Some screenshots for comparison.

It is good enough for what it is: a way to fool people that they play at higher resolution. And with future support for games like Farming Simulator and Dota2, and support for Nvidia cards it is a feature that will not be ignored by too many devs in the future, no matter how big Nvidia's wallet is. It will turn against them if they will play dirty tricks since blocking FSR will also mean blocking at least the 1000 series owners to better performance. :)

Honestly i am not too impressed but i wasn't impressed by the DLSS either, especially with the claims about AI. I think it is a good thing that AMD didn't make their own AI proprietary feature since that would mean a direct competition with Nvidia that they can't possibly win due to the lack of resources. It was a smart move from AMD. Too bad it came very late.

On ray traced games the performance gains should be huge and even more on Nvidia sponsored titles. These people who think AMD could had used FSR in games like CP 2077 but choosed not to have no idea what they are talking about, it would have doubled the RT performance on ultra settings and every Radeon card owner would have been happy. :)
 
Hexus tested it:
https://hexus.net/tech/features/graphics/147984-amds-fidelityfx-super-resolution-fsr-tested/

They got 20% uplift on a GTX1060 in the best quality mode. As I have a GTX1080 this will actually help extend the life a little longer in supported games.

They showed that FSR is better than DLSS1.0 and better than in-game upscaling with additional Adobe sharpening tools used. When comparing the highest quality modes,FSR is actually quite close to DLSS2.0 images,but the latter is better at lower resolutions.

The main advantage it seems for FSR,is that it can be used on Pascal GPUs,which still make up a lot of the Steam install base of GPUs.
