The claimed performance improvement of DLSS 3 in Cyberpunk 2077. | Image: Nvidia During today’s launch of its RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 cards, Nvidia has given an early look at the next version of its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) upscaling technology. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang says DLSS 3 can boost performance by up to four times compared to simply rendering at native resolution. Nvidia says more than 35 games and applications are already integrating the technology, with the first games expected…

AMD has made a number of major product announcements at the virtual Computex 2021 trade show. During her keynote, CEO Dr. Lisa Su unveiled new desktop Ryzen 5000 series APUs with integrated graphics, new discrete Radeon RX 6000M series mobile GPUs promising top-tier gaming performance, the AMD Advantage label for laptops promising optimised design and performance, and also the highly anticipated Fidelity FX Super Resolution graphics upscaling technology which is broadly compatible with GPUs from all manufacturers.Starting…

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution upscaling feature for games will be available today, starting with seven games and expanding to another 12 in the near future. Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) is AMD's alternative to Nvidia's Deep Learning Supersampling (DLSS) upscaling technology. Both work differently, but are intended to improve gaming performance by allowing games to be rendered at lower-than-native resolutions, reducing the strain on a GPU, and then upscaled to the desired native resolution without severely…

Until the launch of the Radeon RX 6000 series earlier this year, AMD's Radeon GPUs were not exactly competitive with Nvidia's top-end GeForce RTX series. Performance was generally not as good, and there was no support for ray tracing, the hot new technology that everyone's talking about. It takes a combination of hardware and software to not only perform ray tracing, but also compensate for the strain it puts on a GPU. Now that the red team has finally delivered the kind of hardware that fans want, it's time to fill in…

Apple is getting more serious about gaming on Mac and iPad with the help of its silicon chips. At WWDC, the company showed off upscaling tech along the lines of NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution. Metal 3 will include support for MetalFX Upscaling. Your Mac will render smaller frames that are less compute-intensive. MetalFX will upscale the visuals and apply temporal anti-aliasing. The idea is to deliver better and more efficient gaming performance with higher framerates than might…
