Exclusive: AMD’s Jay Marsden says FSR was meant to be open-source & cross-platform compatible (PROACTIVE)edit
AMD announced its highly-anticipated Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) this year as their new spatial upscaling technique that was somehow a competitor to NVIDIA’s existing machine learning based DLSS. While the latter is a more refined upscaling only limited to RTX graphics cards, AMD’s tech is aimed to be more open-source and cross-platform compatible.

AMD Might be Working on AI Accelerators for RX 7000 GPUs to Tackle NVIDIA Tensor Coresedit
Upscaling techniques, especially AI-based algorithms such as NVIDIA DLSS have been one of the most critical parts of games this generation. Both NVIDIA and Intel have a cutting-edge upscaler in their arsenal. AMD, though (for the time being), is relying on its spatial FSR filter. Unfortunately, FSR almost always falls behind DLSS in supported titles. Team Red might change this with its next-generation of RDNA 3 graphics cards. A patent spotted by Coreteks indicates that the Radeon RX 7000 GPUs may feature a machine learning accelerator die for specialized upscaling algorithms.
