AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 Unveiled with Several Upscaler Changes to Improve Realism

AMD late Thursday unveiled the FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (FSR 2.1) performance enhancement, which builds on the performance-quality gains of FSR 2.0, while improving the visual fidelity and correcting several kinds of upscaling artifacts visible to the keen eye. To begin with, it corrected ghosting issues with geometry carrying motion vectors not matching the underlying pixel colors, which were causing a "shimmering" effect. There are also changes to the disocclusion logic that let it detect disocclusions in areas with little depth separating objects, which again should address some ghosting issues.

Upscaled output quality has been improved by turning some upscaler computations from FP16 to FP32 (full-precision), which should improve color range and temporal stability of the upscaled image. Ghosting issues on transparent geometry has also been improved by updates to the reactive mask. Ghosting issues on geometry with motion vectors not matching underlying pixel colors have been addressed with improvements to the composition and transparency mask. AMD detailed FSR 2.1 in its GPUOpen page, and has made the software available to game developers. Any game currently implementing FSR 2.0 can release FSR 2.1 support through patches. The latest version 1.7.1 patch of Farming Simulator 2022 implements FSR 2.1.
AMD also put together a video presentation with Farming Simulator 2022, highlighting the improvements made with FSR 2.1.

spnidelI didn't say I know it all, I said I know what I'm doing and that you sound like you're pretending to know better, so gg pulling out a strawman lol

ironic

no, it doesn't, you're just misinterpreting what I'm saying and applying your own meaning to it, so either projecting shit on me, or strawmanning again

yea, abandoned typically comes with negative connotations

read your own reply with your agile teachings and implications that I have no idea what I'm doing/talking about and then read what you just wrote here lol; stop gaslighting

yea I typically get upset when people give devs shit for no reason other than "I want more free shit" - been on the receiving end of this ungrateful attitude after having released tons of updates and it's no fun at all :)


no thanks to patching for the most part

thanks to marketing lol, no one gives a shit about patching unless there's strong marketing behind it to let everyone know how big of a good boy the developer is

they have incredibly strong franchises thanks to marketing, not patching. patching is mainly relevant in the initial period of when you have to "prove" that you're a good developer.
comparing metro exodus, a single player game where people sperged out because they couldn't get a game on their favorite digital game distribution platform (which is an infantile and stupid reason btw), to something like blizzard, a company that produces multiplayer titles only in the last 10+ years, is a bad comparison

...are we talking about singleplayer games? sounds like a goalpost move again

good marketing ultimately leads to sequels, continued support is at the behest of the company leads if they determine it's a worthwhile investment
Thanks for confirming everything, we're done here, again, you do you, the world is wrong, you're right, we misinterpret everything while you confirm it just once more.

I'll highlight the key point
It shows also in the wording you're using, as if some battle must be fought here, its even close to insulting

That's it, right there, it echoes in all your posts and its out of place.

I accept your concession
p.s. gg on contradicting yourself - you say that I need to consider other views/ideas, yet bail the moment I say you're misinterpreting what I say LOL
