The FSR Thread (Announcements & Discussion)

Need for Speed:Unbound is packing FSR 2.2. I haven't had a moment to test the 10hr trial. Some of the stuff up on youtube looks decent enough, but it can be hard to tell.

Kinda of a HUGE patch list, so I'll just quote it. Haven't seen anything yet showing comparisons.

Graphics and sound

FSR 2.1

Added support for FSR 2.1 - a picture scaling technology developed by AMD that upscales lower image resolution to higher resolutions in real time for display on higher quality monitors.

This release adds the following:
  • Introduction of a debug API checker.
  • Changes to improve “High Velocity Ghosting” situations.
  • Changes to Luminance computation with pre-exposure application.
  • Small motion vectors ignored in previous depth estimation.
  • Changes to depth logic to improve disocclusion detection and avoid self-disocclusions.
  • Dilated reactive mask logic updated to use temporal motion vector divergence to kill locks.
  • New lock luminance resource.
  • Accumulation overhauled to use temporal reactivity.
  • Changed how intermediate signals are stored and tonemapped.
  • Luminance instability logic improved.
  • Tonemapping no longer applied during RCAS to retain more dynamic range.
  • Fixes for multiple user reported issues on GitHub and elsewhere. Thank you for your feedback!

  • Fixed missing background music in Slums tunnel during 9-Torg bounty.
  • Fixed Ant enemies going through a ramp wall during 9-Torg bounty.
  • Improved performance in Destroyed Earth during Garmantuous Bounty.


Content & Feature Updates

Xbox Series X/S:
  • Updated default visual quality setting - now called performance mode. This is intended to run at 60 fps with dynamic resolution (up to 1440p on Series X, up to 1080p on Series S).
  • Added a new quality mode that features improved visual quality targeted at 30 fps. This runs with dynamic resolution up to 4k on Series X and 1440p on Series S.

PC:
  • Added Native and AI Quality Improvement Modes (Nvidia DLSS, AMD FSR 2.0 and Intel XeSS options), now available in the Settings Menu.

All platforms:
  • Added settings for disabling drift and distortion for the heads-up display (HUD) in the Settings Menu.

Not sure if it's actually FSR "2.0" or a newer version. But it would be kinda weird to use the older version instead of 2.1 or 2.2

*late edit*... also appears to be completely broken. Also can't help but notice that none of the directories or DLL files for DLSS, FSR 2 or XeSS are present in the games directory... :lol:

**Edit for Update** There is no patch note for it... but they seems to have fixed it and the upscalers now work :up:

What is the AMD FidelityFX SDK?


The AMD FidelityFX SDK is our new and easy to integrate solution for developers looking to include AMD FidelityFX technologies into their games without any of the hassle of complicated porting procedures. In a nutshell, it is AMD FidelityFX graphics middleware. Background


In the last few years since we’ve started releasing AMD FidelityFX technologies, we’ve become one of the most used and trusted technology partners in the industry. Our outstanding open-source technology can now be found in over 250 games, made by some of the biggest names in gaming.

As our AMD FidelityFX technologies have grown and become more widely used, we recognized there were many ways we could improve the experience for developers looking to integrate them. The AMD FidelityFX SDK is the result of our aim to bring simplicity, structure, and consistency into all our great AMD FidelityFX technologies.

Of note, the SDK features:
  • A consistent standard and style that is much more user-friendly.
  • Easier application spawning letting us focus on core algorithm details rather than boilerplate setup code.
  • A re-architected graphical framework that is not only more robust and ready, but is also API agnostic, allowing us to develop our effects across intended targets simultaneously.
    • This also doubles as a great how-to in creating a custom backend implementation for developers’ own multi-platform engines.
  • Extensive documentation.
  • And lastly, we’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of implementation steps by offering complete pre-built solutions for all of our effects. Most of which can be supported in under 20 lines of code.
    • That being said, if you were a fan of taking the code we put out and manually integrating yourself, you are still free to do that. We’ve taken nothing away. All we’ve done is moved things into a more coherent structure on disk, and cleaned up the code to make it more consistent in style.

Hope this leads to some better FSR 2.x implementations. Seems to me that one of the biggest mistakes of FSR 2.x implementations is not getting stuff properly masked to prevent ghosting/blurs of various effects like Rain, Trees, Bushes etc.
 
FSR 3 unveiled abit

https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/...-3/ba-p/626581

Main takeaways imho..

- FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames will be about a 2x performance boost
- FSR 3's Fluid Motion Frames will work on other hardware
- The first games with Fluid Motion Frames will be Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum​ and will be patched in this fall​
- Officially brings an FSR native AA mode. So FSR tech being applied at native resolution, like DLAA.


There's more in there though, so take a peek.

Also a GPU Open post on it. Slightly more detailed than the community post

Even the guys at Digital Foundry liked what they saw on FSR3... says a lot:

https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfo...-3-tech-and-frame-gen-for-every-dx11dx12-game

So, how does FSR 3 look? At Gamescom, we had a demonstration of both titles running with the new technology active on a Radeon 7900 XTX running at 4K output. Both were running with v-sync on, which AMD recommends for frame-pacing purposes. In the very small Forspoken demo we saw, the game was running locked at 120 frames per second and looked just as a v-synced 120fps should look. The game was running in FSR 2 quality mode providing its own frame-rate boost, with frame-gen then taking you up to the limit. In terms of fluidity and clarity, FSR 3 looked a match for DLSS 3 - a view shared by Alex, Rich and John, who were all present to see the demos in person. A great start for FSR 3.

I have to say to again make this open source and allowing FSR3 Frame Gen to run on RTX 2k and 3k and in Q1 2024 running *driver side* on any DX11 and DX12 game, no developer implementation needed, is a huge slap in the face to Nvidia. We'll see what the quality brings to various titles but pretty sure itll be decent or it wouldnt make sense for AMD to allow this to happen. With the 7800xt only 50$ more than the 7700xt its an easy upgrade for me for the extra 4 gb vram. 7700xt should really be 400$ and some sales will happen by xmas Im sure. The only debate is how long will free Starfield promo be available tho.

Really wonder if Nvidia will allow it on *its* driver tho. :lol:

I also bet that methods that just work with the final outputs are probably going to not look as good. I've always kinda wondered why driver side interpolation never really materialized, even if it didn't look awesome. I know AMD/ATi did used to have Fluid Motion for video though.
 
I'm surprised that they did not pick something like fortnite or spaceskyrim to debut FSR 3 with, you know, stuff that people will actually play.

Immortals is a pretty good pick in terms of how it performs though, as it is very demanding, but it also kind of is a bad game that probably will bomb as hard as forspoken.

Watching the presentation again I think you have to have Hyper RX to run DX11 and DX12 driver side frame gen. Thats a Radeon driver feature. Might be some mods out there that can hack that for other gpu brands but so far FSR3 frame gen might be limited for them to implementation only gameside.

Probably, although we won't really know till it launches. It would be cool if you could enable Anti-Lag+, and then have an option for "Fluid Motion Frames" light up as available to enable as well.
 
Also I think the Lies of P demo was using the driver side of the frame gen that is part of Hyper RX and it looked pretty good too vs the 2 implementation games on Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum. Was shorter than the other demos tho... Still glad to see the CP 2077 will probably be implementation. Hope it can run pathtracing RT well enough.
