FSR

It didn’t take long for AMD’s promise of big AI upscaling news to come to fruition, as it turns out. In a surprise announcement, AMD has revealed the latest iteration of its FidelityFX Super Resolution technology: FSR 3.1. Touting massively improved image quality and more, it’s an exciting development. Now, the announcement of AMD FSR 3.1 isn’t just about incremental improvements to the technology’s supersampling algorithm: AMD is also adding its very own version of Nvidia’s DLAA anti-aliasing solution, as well as…

At GDC 2024, AMD has announced an update to FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), its upscaling tech for improving frame rates in games. FSR 3.1 brings some predicted improvements to image quality and stability, but with it, also some changes to how it’s positioned as a platform. The main tweak is that FSR 3.1 frame generation is now “decoupled” from FSR upscaling for the purpose of working “with other upscaling solutions.” Presumably, this means with Intel’s XeSS or Nvidia’s DLSS. This hopefully also means that you can…

EV startup Fisker (FSR) is pausing EV production for six weeks as its financial struggles worsen. Fisker looks to get its finances in order after failing to make an interest payment. The EV maker did get a commitment for up to $150 million in financing, but will it be enough? Fisker is halting production as EV woes worsen Fisker reiterated there is “substantial doubt” in its ability to continue operations after missing an interest payment. According to an SEC filing on Monday, Fisker is pausing…

AMD AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) has had an uphill climb so far, but things might get better in 2024. According to a statement from the company’s chief technology officer, this year will be a big one for AMD in terms of AI — and this doesn’t just mean large-scale AI, but also upscaling. Are we going to see some major changes in AMD’s next-gen RDNA 4 graphics cards? The tantalizing bit of information comes from Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, who was a guest on the No Priors Podcast. At the very end of the…

The CEO for Arrowhead Games, developer of Helldivers 2, caught some flak for a controversial take on nowhere else than X (formerly Twitter), saying that Nvidia’s DLSS is “cool tech, but not necessary.” The lack of branded upscaling tools in Helldivers 2 is strange, especially given the fact that the title has quickly become “one of the most entertaining co-op games” of the year, as you can read about in our Helldivers 2 review. Thankfully, Helldivers 2 doesn’t need DLSS. So hard… to not take bait… 🤣 Ok, I'll…

Inflexion Games AMD’s platform-agnostic FSR 3 is a great feature, but months after releasing, it’s only available in a small list of titles. Now, we might finally have a clue as to why. Developers of the upcoming open world survival game Nightingale posted a development update stating that it was removing FSR 3 due to crashes. “After reviewing crash data from the Server Stress Test, a significant number of them seemed to point to FSR3 integrations, whether or not users had the setting turned on,” a prelaunch update…

AMD AMD made a compromise with FSR 3. The frame-generation tech was announced in November 2022, and it took nearly a year for it to show up in a game. Even now, months after release, FSR 3 is only available in 12 games, the lion’s share of which are legacy titles and single-player games that are past their prime. Adoption wasn’t working, hence the need for a compromise. The compromise is AMD Fluid Motion Frames, or AFMF — one of the least catchy acronyms, but I digress. This is driver-based frame generation. FSR 3…

Jon Martindale / DigitalTrends Enshrouded is off to a sterling start in 2024, having sold well over a million copies since its January launch. While I don’t know if it’s quite enough to fill the Valheim-shaped hole in my heart, it’s shaping up to be an attractive, approachable, and exciting open-world survival game. As it’s in Early Access, though, Enshrouded’s performance isn’t its best feature. It’s relatively well optimized and doesn’t run terribly, but even those of you running top-tier gaming PCs might want to…

For a game that was built in collaboration with AMD, it seems surprising that it’s taken this long for Starfield to support FidelityFX Super Resolution 3. However, the most recent update now makes it compatible with the image upscaling algorithm. But of course, there’s a slight catch. The recent patch notes, as well as a message on Twitter/X, show that Bethesda has finally enabled the option for FSR 3. The slight downside to this is that it’s only released in Steam Beta, but at least it’s started rolling out now, I…

Bethesda Games Studios has announced that it will add AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) to the beta version of Starfield for PC next week with an update to the game through Steam Beta. The developer also says that it will add FSR 3 to the stable version of Starfield for PC later this month with an update to the game that will arrive before the next scheduled update. What is AMD FSR 3 and how will it benefit Starfield players? AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 upscales the image and generates frames to offer a…
