AMD Announces FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) Fluid Motion Rivaling DLSS 3, Broad Hardware Support
In addition to the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards, AMD announced FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 Fluid Motion (FSR 3 Fluid Motion), the company's performance enhancement that's designed to rival NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The biggest piece of news here, is that unlike DLSS 3, which is restricted to GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada," FSR 3 enjoys the same kind of cross-brand hardware support as FSR 2. It works on the latest Radeon RX 7000 series, as well as previous-generation RX 6000 series RDNA2 graphics cards, as well as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series, RTX 30-series, and RTX 20-series. It might even be possible to use FSR 3 with Arc A-series, although AMD wouldn't confirm it.
FSR 3 Fluid Motion is a frame-rate doubling technology that generates alternate frames by estimating an intermediate between two frames rendered by the GPU (which is essentially what DLSS 3 is). The company did not detail the underlying technology behind FSR 3 in its pre-briefing, but showed an example of FSR 3 implemented on "Forspoken," where the game puts out 36 FPS at 4K native resolution, is able to run at 122 FPS with FSR 3 "performance" preset (upscaling + Fluid Motion + Anti-Lag). At 1440p native, with ultra-high RT, "Forspoken" puts out 64 FPS, which nearly doubles to 106 FPS without upscaling (native resolution) + Fluid Motion frames + Anti-Lag. The Maximum Fidelity preset of FSR 3 is essentially AMD's version of DLAA (to use the detail regeneration and AA features of FSR without dropping down resolution).
AMD announced just two title debuts for FSR 3 Fluid Motion, the already released "Forspoken," and "Immortals of Aveum" that released earlier this week. The company announced that it is working with game developers to bring FSR 3 support to "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora," "Cyberpunk 2077," "Warhammer II: Space Marine," "Frostpunk 2," "Alters," "Squad," "Starship Troopers: Extermination," "Black Myth: Wukong," "Crimson Desert," and "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth." The company is working with nearly all leading game publishers and game engine developers to add FSR 3 support, including Ascendant, Square Enix, Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red, Saber Interactive, Focus Entertainment, 11-bit Studios, Unreal Engine, Sega, and Bandai Namco Reflector.
AMD is also working to get FSR 3 Fluid Motion frames part of the AMD Hyper-RX feature that the company is launching soon. This is big, as pretty much any DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 game will get Fluid Motion frames, launching in Q1-2024.
Both "Forspoken" and "Immortals of Aveum" will get FSR 3 patches this Fall.

Oh jeez, AMD for the love of god please do not rush it out in this state... This checkerboard effect I'm seeing in the second Fospoken image example does not bode well.
The original on the left has it too if you over enlarge it.
I'd wait for a real test to be sure of it.
And what are the odds that the devs of these two titles will get FSR 3.0 right the first time?
But good job making this vendor agnostic. Let's see the image quality.
Just like DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Or ray tracing... Or...
FYI: Nvidia is basically a monopoly with unlimited power and a history of anti-consumer and cartelistic practices....I don't think they need any individual defending them.
Real time frame interpolation is nothing new, TVs have had it for what, like a decade now ? To be perfectly frank it's embarrassing Nvidia and AMD couldn't find a way of enabling this at the driver level ages ago.
but to be fair, it is zoomed in, granted they choose to do so, but still, might be not this bad at normal distance.thats....actually not how this works Dr.Fanboy.
Nvidia simply took over research that has been done before them by others, Frame Gen was first shown as a tech demo for the Force Unleashed 2 by LucasArts....
Secondly they did not get blasted at all, it was really well received, so im not sure why you are playing some weird victim card here.
The only critism was the latency it introduced and we would be super hypocritical NOT to raise some points about that considering the whining people have been doing about monitors response rates and running no Vsync because "moar latency bruv"....
and lastly AMD is the darling because...its not proprietary, it works for borderline everyone, where big Daddy Nvidia leaves GTX1080Ti owners behind to die off, AMD comes in with some of that FSR for them to run and extend the longevity of their purchase.
Surely even you could see how AMD might be a bit more appreciated for that reason.
