Maybe it's because people simply don't know any better, but no shit rendering half the pixels leads to significant performance gains. It confuses me to see that there's so much focus on performance.

I'm also glad you didn't spend too much time covering performance characteristics, as they are completely, utterly meaningless. I'm seeing a scenario where a game like Far Cry 6 will launch with only FSR support, and you have to ask yourself: Who benefits from this? Not gamers. I didn't need to look at the slides AMD provided or even your video to know that if FSR isn't fed with temporal data, and if it isn't based on ML either such that it can use inference, it would be inferior to even other competing algorithmic upsampling techniques. Specifically, I'm seeing a situation where studios that sign partner deals with AMD will support FSR and not alternative techniques such as for example UE's built-in upsampling algorithm that relies on temporal data, or even what team green offers. One of your last points is so extremely important, and one I've attempted to raise concerns about for weeks leading up to this launch. TAA U is doing something completely different that has transformative image quality effects and should be desired.

I say this for the academic purpose of properly classifying things, but also because practically, All people who game on PC should hope that devs implement something like Temporal Anti-Aliasing Upscaling in their game and not only offer something like FSR. But it is not and should not be thought of as an alternative to real image reconstruction techniques. If for some reason a game literally only offers basic image upscaling with a slider that uses bilinear filtering, or none of that and just has resolution options, then FSR will produce a more pleasing image than those options. The questions of FSR's usefulness is important within the context of what a game offers in its settings menu. It is better than those simple upscalers for the purpose of a video game image.ĪMD's FSR is not an image reconstruction technique like checkerboard rendering, DLSS 1.0, DLSS 2.0, Temporal Anti-Aliasing Upscaling, or a variety of techniques which look to reconstruct the image's higher level detail beyond the spatial realm while Anti-Aliasing that new image information.įSR is similarly not Anti-Aliasing - FSR comes after a game has already been anti-aliased and inherits the qualities, faults, and benefits of the anti-aliasing technique of the game in question. AMD's own tech briefing and information describes FSR as an uspcaling technique to be compared with simple image space upscalers like Bilinear or Lanczos or Bicubic. FSR is an image upscaling technique, like a bilinear or bicubic upscale you can do in photoshop. Reading other reviews I think there is a general misapprehension happening about AMD's FSR in the tech press, so my review reads or watches rather differently.
