AMD announced this week that it will give a sneak peek of its next-generation image-improving FidelityFX technologies at one of its upcoming sessions at the Game Developers Conference 2023 in late March. This is a big deal because AMD has a lot of hardware to offer but has to make a good combo with balanced software with upscaling technologies to lure more gamers.
AMD’s FidelityFX package is best known for its Super Resolution image upscaling technology, which is supported by a wide range of games and can run on AMD-powered game consoles as well as non-Radeon hardware.
AMD’s FidelityFX is a large collection of eye candy-enhancing technologies designed to greatly improve game visual quality or framerates without visible degradation of quality.
Aside from FSR, AMD’s current version of FidelityFX includes features such as Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS), Combined Adaptive Compute Ambient Occlusion (CACAO), Variable Rate Shading (VRS), Stochastic Screen Space Reflections (SSSR), and ray-traced shadow Denoiser. Many of AMD’s FidelityFX technologies are used in games, but none have become as popular as Super Resolution.
It is unclear what other technologies AMD intends to include in its FidelityFX lineup, but Super Resolution 3.0 is undoubtedly one of them. Other possibilities include various ways to improve ray tracing-enabled game performance, but it remains to be seen what AMD could do given the hardware capabilities of RDNA 2 and RDNA 3-based GPUs.
