Apparently AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution living up to the hype

I have one game that uses it, specifically terminator resistance.
No quality difference I can notice. I had all standard settings maxed out.
Went from about 85 to 115 fps for the ultra FSR setting.
I have a GTX 1080 ti with a 3440x1440p monitor.

Apparently is is very straight forward to implement, that is for an experienced developer.

I hope it is in many other games soon.

thumbs up for amd!

I tried it on Godfall with my HTPC rig - i7 4770K, 2x 8GB RAM, Leadtek GTX 1080 + 466.63 - with Display res at 4K, FSR at 'Quality', others at Epic and it ran between 40fps to 60fps. It was smooth enough and image quality looks pretty good (unless you're like DF and resort to 3x zoom pixel peeping).

On a whole, the game looks pretty good and allows my GTX 1080 to run a game upscaled to 4K. Has nVidia even bothered to try to uplift the performance of their GTX cards? I've heard it even works on GTX 900 series cards.....though it'd work better on the higher end GTX cards. Will try it next on my i7 3960X/Vega 64 rig later.....not gonna bother with FSR on my 6900XT as it doesn't really need it at 3840x1080.

What works? DLSS only works on RTX family GPUs.
IDK what you mean when you say "you tried it"
As the thread is about AMD's version of DLSS, called FSR. FSR doesn't work on NVIDIA stuff, and DLSS doesn't work on AMD stuff.

You might be confusing this with NVIDIA DSR / AMD VSR; which is an up-scaling feature.
DLSS and FSR are a form of image super-sampling + compression. To help in-game visuals shine to look their best, while still maintain good FPS. This method can even increase some games FPS by double.

FSR does and can work on recent Nvidia cards as well as AMD.
DLSS only works on a with small amount of card owners, at least by the steam hardware survey. That is its biggest flaw for DLSS.

Check Hardware Unboxed review, as well as GN and LTT, I believe all of them ran Godfall with FSR on nVidia cards as well. FSR Presets show up in the game options so I don't think I'm mistaken....not unless all the review sites are mistaken as well. I can assure you, I see the FSR tab in the game option, from Ultra Quality to Performance, it's all there compliments of AMD.

Steve of GN had also stated that FSR even works on GTX 900 series GPU's, though I suspect the higher end models would be better suited.

Then how is FSR any sort of AMD based feature then? This sounds more like just an in-game software based feature.

[A&A]

FSR is open source and it is working from Rx 480 (something like that), AMD IGPUs to Rx 6000 series

And for Nvidia from 900 Gen GTX to all RTX GPUs

That belongs to gamers not to cooperations only, also l recommend to read more about it

I think it's due to the fact that AMD had developed this feature/tech, hence the AMD moniker as in AMD FSR, and being open source, most recent cards can use it. I've heard older cards than the RX 400 and GTX 1000 can leverage the tech. A free upscaling tech for everyone!

A guy in a local forum tried it on his RTX 3080 and he was impressed with the image quality and performance uplift as well. On my part, running around hacking and slashing was quite immersive on my GTX 1080, the image quality and performance certainly helped with the immersion....

AMD developed FSR and added support for GTX 10 series cards to prove that NVIDIA could give support for the software to their low budget users, because NVIDIA locked down DLSS to requiring tensor cores only present in RTX GPUs. That's the only reason it's there for NVIDIA.

AMD's FSR vs NVIDIA's DLSS is kind of like comparing FreeSync (and G-SYNC Compatible) to G-SYNC; AMD's is entirely software, NVIDIA's is both software and hardware.

FSR also appears to open source software, so any developer can make use of it in their games without jumping through so many hoops.

GPUs older the RX 400 series and GTX 700 series are fully dropped with any further support.

Well yeah, if they made really old GPUs benefit from software that would make it run faster, there'd be a few less upgrades.

Steve from GN had said that FSR works on GTX 900 cards as well, I suspect that perhaps even older cards can leverage FSR....though FSR can only do so much with a GPU that's too old and/or too weak. As I'd said, it works nicely on my GTX 1080, can't believe I'm playing an upscaled title on 4K. Image quality is 'good enough as I'm no so anal as to be stopping here and there, magnifying the image looking for flaws. It looks good, runs nicely with playable framerate and best of all, extends the gaming usefulness of my GTX 1080 (which nVidia had totally forgotten in light of their RTX getting all the juicy updates)

I don't see much point in it working for GPUs older than GTX 900 series; as they lack VRAM to run many of todays more demanding games. Unless maybe you happen to have a GTX 780 6GB, which is on-par with GTX 970 performance, but with more VRAM. But the 780 GPUs also use approx twice the TDP as a GTX 970, so there is that also.

I agree, that's why I'd stated 'FSR can only do so much with GPU that's too old and/or too weak', perhaps I should have added lack of VRAM as you'd mentioned. I recall the most VRAM on the then high end GTX 680 was 4GB, though the GPU itself may be too weak to leverage FSR to its fullest (IF FSR can be used on the card in the first place).

RT is lightly implemented on Godfall, which is why I can run it natively on my 3840x1080 monitor with an RX 6900 XT at max ingame setting + RT (without resorting to FSR)......and still net about 100fps. So, for Godfall at least, RT is doable on the RX 6800 and up.

If someone has a potato, then there is nothing stopping them trying it out.
It seems AMD has tested it on 10 series nvidia cards and later. As for graphics memory needed, it depends on the game & graphical settings.
