AMD is boosting the performance of their GPU hardware with new technology, FidelityFX Super Sampling 3 (FSR 3). Learn more about their new developments here!

At Gamescom 2023, AMD presented their latest advancements in their performance boosting FidelityFX Super Sampling 3 (FSR 3) technology, and showed what it would look like in one of the games with support for it, Forspoken. Notably, like some of their other FidelityFX technologies, AMD reports that this technology will be open-source and freely available for developers on GPUopen.com.

How FSR 3 Works

AMD’s biggest updates to FidelityFX in this iteration are frame generation, and the “Native AA” quality mode. FSR 3’s frame generation combines data from games with an enhanced version of AMD Fluid Motion Frames to increase framerate in supported games. This can be combined with super resolution upscaling for even higher framerates. “Native AA” provides high-quality anti-aliasing and sharpens your image.

Though, they have some specific supported and recommended choices they advise sticking to when using upscaling and/or frame generation features:
