AMD introduced its newest performance-boosting expertise FidelityFX Tremendous Sampling 3 (FSR 3) at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne, Germany, however what’s behind the quite a few new options, reminiscent of Fluid Movement Frames or the brand new Native Mode, and what are HYPR-RX and the prolonged latency enhancer Radeon Anti-Lag+ truly good for?
We current AMD’s newest temporal upscaler with intermediate body calculation and its whole function set intimately and clarify what benefits avid gamers have from the expertise.
AMD FSR 3 with Fluid Movement Frames
In the course of the keynote of its in-house AMD Gaming Competition 2023 at Gamescom 2023, the chip producer additionally launched all of the technical info on its long-awaited newest upscaling expertise, FSR 3, along with its two new midrange graphics playing cards, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, primarily based on the present RDNA-3 structure.
Additionally demonstrated have been Fluid Movement Frames expertise, an interframe calculation for considerably increased body charges and extra frames per second (fps), in addition to HYPR-RX with Radeon Anti-Lag+.
AMD FSR 3 for all graphics playing cards
AMD’s third-generation FidelityFX Tremendous Decision — FSR 3 for brief — will run on all graphics playing cards, which formally contains the next collection and generations:
- AMD Radeon RX 7000 (“RDNA 3”)
- AMD Radeon RX 6000 (“RDNA 2”)
- AMD Radeon RX 5000 (“RDNA 1”)
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 (“Ada Lovelace”)
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 (“Ampere”)
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2000 (“Turing”)
- Intel Arc (“Alchemist”)
Principally, FSR 3, which needs to be supported by sport builders and built-in into their video games accordingly, together with the brand new interframe calculation through fluid movement frames, additionally runs on all different graphics playing cards from older generations.
AMD’s gaming boss, who can also be answerable for the Radeon graphics playing cards, commented on this at Gamescom 2023 as follows:
AMD FSR 3 is an open expertise that doesn’t require machine studying {hardware} and subsequently could be supported on a variety of merchandise and platforms, together with gaming consoles.
FSR 3 is supported by graphics playing cards primarily based on the RDNA 1 structure and newer, however we advocate utilizing it with graphics playing cards primarily based on the RDNA 2 structure and RDNA 3 structure.
FSR 3 can also be supported by a variety of third-party options, together with Nvidia Geforce RTX 2000, 3000, and 4000.
Frank Azor, AMD
AMD careworn that correct operation can solely be assured on formally supported graphics playing cards from the primary era of RDNA and the very best potential high quality solely on graphics playing cards from the second era RDNA. Normally, nonetheless, FSR 3 runs on all graphics playing cards from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel, in line with the producer.
Fluid Movement Frames intimately
AMD guarantees avid gamers an especially vital enhance in efficiency with Fluid Movement Frames Expertise and guarantees a doubling of efficiency in direct comparability to the in-house predecessor FSR 2.x with out intermediate body calculation.
With FSR 2, we already calculate extra pixels than we now have samples within the present body, and we realized that we may generate much more by introducing interpolated frames. This allowed us to extend the body charge with FSR 3 by one other issue of two in comparison with FSR 2.
AMD
In the course of the presentation, the producer went into additional element and confirmed a “Deep Dive” on the “Fluid Movement Frames Expertise,” which, as a form of interpolation course of between each two rendered frames, can insert a further body “in between.”
In comparison with rendering with out upscaling expertise, the body charge ought to even be quadrupled in some instances, as AMD demonstrates.
AMD
In FSR 3 with fluid movement frames, there’s a excessive chance that there’s not less than one pattern for every interpolated pixel and no suggestions loop, because the interpolated body is simply displayed as soon as.
Doable artefacts on account of the interpolation course of would thus solely stay for a single body. AMD has supplied a rendering pipeline with a local, an FSR 2, and an FSR 3 mannequin and compares them with one another.
AMD
By utilizing fluid movement frames for intermediate body calculation, AMD guarantees a mean doubling of frames per second (fps) in comparison with FSR 2, competing instantly with Nvidia’s DLSS 3 with Body Era.
AMD has documented the anticipated efficiency achieve in a primary video and supplies corresponding impressions.
Fluid Movement Frames additionally within the driver
Along with FSR 3 with Fluid Movement Frames, which is able to have a good time its premiere within the motion role-playing sport The prophesied and within the fantasy shooter Immortals of AveumAMD additionally desires to supply the intermediate picture calculation instantly within the graphics driver from the primary quarter of 2024.
Fluid Movement Frames within the driver must be relevant to all video games that use Microsoft’s DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 graphics interfaces. Nonetheless, this function will likely be reserved solely for the present graphics playing cards of the RDNA-3 era.
The motive force mode may also not have the ability to sustain with the FMF integration in video games by way of high quality, as AMD has emphasised a number of occasions. It’s extra a form of “emergency mode” to rapidly generate extra frames.
Native Mode for highest picture high quality
The brand new Native Mode, additionally introduced at Gamescom 2023, is the second main innovation of FidelityFX Tremendous Decision 3 alongside Fluid Movement Frames expertise (“FMF”) and is meant to ship nothing lower than “the most effective graphics high quality” alongside the strains of Nvidia’s Deep Studying Anti Aliasing (“DLAA”).
Whereas FSR 3 and its presets are solely supposed to supply barely higher image high quality in comparison with FSR 2, AMD desires to attain factors right here with the so-called Native Mode.
This mode applies the algorithm on which FSR 3 relies to the picture, however makes use of the native decision as a substitute of upscaling. The minimal requirement for this must be a Radeon RX 5000 (“RDNA”) or GeForce RTX 2000 (“Turing”) graphics card.
Observe: The output decision of the picture corresponds 1:1 to the internally rendered decision. An intermediate picture calculation through FMF could be optionally added if desired.
AMD
The Native Mode permits avid gamers to play in native decision and to have the image high quality upgraded by the FidelityFX tremendous decision algorithm.
AMD recommends counteracting the potential efficiency losses accordingly with the Fluid Movement Frames already described.
HYPR-RX and Radeon Anti-Lag+
The common instrument “HYPR-RX,” which has additionally been introduced for months and which is mixed with the latency enhancer “Radeon Anti-Lag+” serves as a complement to FSR 3 and bundles all options in a single mode.
HYPR-RX and its presets could be simply accessed and activated through AMD’s graphics driver, the AMD Radeon Software program Adrenalin Version.
HYPR-RX can mix the next applied sciences:
- FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (“FSR”) 2
- FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (“FSR”) 3 + Fluid Movement Frames (“FMF”)
- Fluid Movement Frames expertise per driver mode*
- Radeon Tremendous Decision (“RSR”)
- Radeon Anti-Lag+
- Radeon Increase
- Radeon Chill
*) from Q1/2024
On the push of a button, this could not solely enhance body charges but in addition considerably scale back latencies, as AMD has demonstrated on a Radeon RX 7800 XT.
AMD
The combination of Radeon Increase and Radeon Chill also needs to restrict energy consumption and save power.
Just like the FMF driver mode, HYPR-RX and Radeon Anti-Lag+ will stay unique to RDNA-3 graphics playing cards. The options are to be included within the graphics driver in September.
FSR 3 and all new options in a deep dive
For avid gamers who wish to discover out extra about FSR 3, Fluid Movement Frames, and all the brand new options, the producer has made the whole AMD Gaming Competition 2023 accessible in a video that’s round three hours lengthy.
In case you are nonetheless in search of an acceptable Radeon graphics card, PCWorld’s large graphics card comparability 2023 is the precise place to go.
