Description:
There are seven games now offering FSR support, including Godfall and Terminator: Resistance.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

AMD has released its latest graphics driver complete with FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) which rivals Nvidias DLSS , with a small number of titles supported out of the gate, and many more planned to get the benefit of this frame rate boosting tech.

The initial games which now offer FSR arent the most high-profile titles the PC gaming arena has to offer, but they include Godfall , plus Terminator: Resistance, a rather overlooked shooter that captures the Terminator atmosphere nicely, and offers some interestingly crafted missions.

Also getting FSR support we have Anno 1800, Evil Genius 2, Kingshunt, 22 Racing Series, and The Riftbreaker.

More games will be given an FSR boost as 2021 rumbles onwards, with over 40 developers having pledged support to AMD in this respect. The tech will be made widely available to devs from mid-July as a download from the AMD
GPUOpen community. DLSS differences

FidelityFX Super Resolution differs from DLSS in that its an open source project, and also it doesnt employ machine learning (AI) as with Nvidias solution although the latter has led to some question marks over exactly how that might affect FSRs viability in terms of the upscaling quality delivered compared to Team Greens rival tech.

The good news about FSR being an open standard is that it doesnt just apply
to AMD hardware , but can also run on Nvidias GPUs (giving benefit to titles which dont have DLSS support).

AMD claims FSR can provide up to 2.4x faster performance upscaling to 4K (compared to running 4K resolution natively). However, the proof will be in the pudding, and well be testing FSR in-depth, so watch this space for our findings later this week.

Just like DLSS, AMD will offer different modes with FSR, including ultra quality and quality for a better image quality, performance to run much
faster while visibly degrading quality, and a balanced setting to deliver
good performance but without so much quality being sacrificed.

Games that will support FSR in the future include Far Cry 6 and Resident
Evil: Village , with other titles inbound from big-name publishers including EA and Ubisoft. Intel vs AMD : which is best?
