So they added AMDs FidelityFX

I guess thats one way to fix GPU performance related problems.
Now you can play in HD resolution and sharpen it up lol.

I am testing it out seeing what difference it makes but these mauve adder errors are hindering it

They added CAS. It's not the newest FSR but it's better than nothing and as a fresh AMD GPU owner I'm happy :D

I wonder how it works though. I know that FSR should render overlay at max ress and the scene is upscaled, is it the same with CAS? or it upscales whole screen?

I dont mind lower ress world if the overlay is crispy sharp - especially in VR. blurred dashboard in ship is much more irritating than blurred ships flying around...

Its not Super Resolution.
It's CAS - image sharpening.

meh could already apply sharpening in Nvidia control panel

You can do that with radeonHQ too, that's not what was implemented tho.

FFX/CAS is something else.

Yes me too, but the amd sharpening does actually look better than Nvidias sharpening option.
But then again this is just a bandaid to "fix" the horrible performance.

Did anyone also have had issue with this?? After update I like always deleted my graphic config - entered game - set 2k + ultra ->>>>> drops under 30 fps on settlements, under 40 on bases
Turned fidelityfx off - 100+ fps on base....
Going to test settlements now - but I think fidelityfx just consume the whole pc recourses and do nothing :D

Any trick to disable it?

Just click with the mouse on it in the quality settings :D

It's better than the games defualt upscaler by a lot, but not by enough to prevent large amount of horrific artificating (most prominently in asteroid fields, around the asteroid edges.) At least in VR. No downsampling FPS gains for me, back to native resolution.

Nope, do not help(( settlements now hell -_- drops under 30 fps with 3080 and i9 - just wonder how they do that - every patch to decrease the performance

[Senyaak]

Even with low qulity preset - 50 fps drops.... HOW????

It is just a sharpening filter.
Fidelity FX is a suit of FX effects
FSR is amd's version of DLSS and is not related

DLSS - hardware
Fidelity FX - software
It consume gpu resources more then dlss - and have almost no impact as you can see at test -_-

Indeed it is, there seems to be quite the confusion tho. :D

I turned the sharpness filter (80%) off at the radeonHQ, and textures are overall crispier with a bit more depth and +3fps compared to the driver setting. (ingame default on/80%)
Nice improvement imo.
