AMD has recently announced FSR 3 and HYPER-RX with “Fluid Motion Frame” that will help gamers to get extra frame rates along with lower latencies. Now, one thing AMD didn’t state particularly on stage is about FSR 3‘s backward compatibility, and thanks to PCWorld’s exclusive chat with Frank Azor we get to know more about this.
In the interview, when asked about FSR 3 and it being direct response to DLSS 3, Frank said that they have been working on this new upscaling technique for quite some time. Now, because they want to implement FSR 3 on not only the newer RX 7000 series i.e. RDNA3 but also their old RDNA2 and any GPU possible just like it did with FSR 2.0.
He even joked to say that FSR 3 is not a complete reaction to DLSS 3 and is nothing easy like putting a number onto FSR, so it will take some time. The interesting thing he mentioned is that AMD could have settled to make FSR 3 exclusive for new RDNA3 which would have been much easier but they want to bring it to RDNA2, RDNA1, older AMD cards, and even work with NVIDIA GPUs.
So, this is the reason why AMD is taking longer to bring the new upscaling tech to the market, but, yes, it will be interesting to see if and how much backward compatibility AMD is able to bring through with the new upscaling tech it even adds frames to increase the overall FPS in games.
FSR 3 is scheduled to launch soon in 2023 and more details will be disclosed by the company and by us with time, as of now, we wait for RDNA3-based RX 7000 series GPUs for sure, coming by next month.
