AMD HAS A PAIR OF DRIVER UPDATES for its Radeon cards. First is RSR (Radeon Super Resolution), which is available now (driver version 22.3.1). It enables a wider range of games to use upscaling with FSR (Fidelity FX Super Resolution) and is supported on all Radeon RX 5000 series cards (it needs an RDNA-based GPU). You won’t get the full FSR effect but you do get a healthy jump in speed. AMD claims RSR will give between two to three times the frame rate when you upscale 1080p to 4K. However, the results are better if you step up from 1440p or more. This summer, we’ll also get FSR 2.0. The original FSR uses spacial upscaling (each frame is re-rendered in one pass), whereas version 2.0 introduces a temporal element (it uses data from multiple frames). The result is that more fine detail is preserved, giving a “near-native quality”. All without any ‘deep learning’ AI too. These two performance upgrades are most welcome, given the current difficulties. –CL
