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.

I have little interest in frame generation, with maybe an exception for vr, just in general I am fairly insensitive to higher framerates visually.
If latency was not a factor I would probalby be fine playing at 30fps.
In terms of input, that's a different story.

Dr. DroIt won't be better, especially with the new DLSS ray reconstruction technology being available now, but if they can pull a FSR 2 again - not the best but okay and rather comparable - it'll be a welcome addition to the portfolio, of course.
Honestly I was hoping for FSR2 to be improved just as much as seeing their Frame generation technology. FSR is keeping me from buying an amd gpu more than DLSS frame generation. I still don't like FSR even in quality mode at 4k and especially at 1440p it would be awesome if they got it to the point where it doesn't matter what technology you are using.

While I like that AMD will let a broader audience test their newer upscaler technology, I don't like the fact they didn't show charts comparing rx 7000 series to rx 6000 series, neither why the GPU cache has been cut in half in 7700 xt and 7800 xt compared to their older counterparts. Why my 6700 xt has double the cache of the 7700 xt? Shouldn't it be increasing instead, or at least staying equal?

They probably found that the large cache doesn't help as much as they thought with RDNA 2.

As for not comparing with last gen, I agree. We'll have to wait for reviews, unfortunately.

AnarchoPrimitivYou're conflating things....people are juat celebrating the fact that it works on a lot of different hardware while condemning the fact that Nvidia's version is limited to 4000 series for no reason other than greed.

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.
I believe he was referring to the AMD cultist on here. Not fanboys ... cultist. There's a difference.

If AMD's figures are accurate, then the 7800 XT would be as fast as a 6800 XT. This won't be the first time that a (x+1)y card is comparable to the xy card: the HD 6870 was slightly slower than the 5870.

Dr. DroYou don't really think AMD cares about you do you? That they're doing this out of kindness of their hearts?
This is the typical stupid (sorry) excuse I read usually from people who have no arguments. No one really cares about you, me or anybody, but some try to offer you more to manage to make you their customers. Now if you choose to ignore the company that pretents at least to care about you by offering more for less, because their major interest now is to make you their customer and prefer to pay more to the company that screams it in your face that they don't care about you and they only want to grab your money, be my quest. But that's not an argument and not something to advertise.
Don't you think the timing is just a bit too convenient? Couldn't possibly be intended to deflect from the overwhelmingly negative press about the 7800 XT being slower than the 6800 XT, I guess that's just silly ol me and my ngreediot tendencies :rolleyes:
A bicycle has wheels, a van has wheels, so a bicycle and a van are the same. You are trying to be smart here, you are failing.
7800XT might end up slower compared to 6800XT and obviously it will get "overwhelmingly negative press" because we know that the press loves attacking AMD. Nvidia has done the same, there was backslash about that, just not "overwhelming" obviously. Waiting to show us your posts about the amazing performance of RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti compared to RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti.
In any case people like you love to find ONE example for a company so they can "PROVE" that that company is the same as one that had done and keep doing a number of anti consumer moves. Well if you want to troll, I don't have the time.
By the time my 4080 runs any game at 30 fps, there's only two courses of action: I'm upgrading (or rather I've already upgraded twice since then) or - if due to unreasonably high system requirements that just make no sense - I'm simply not playing the game.
As I said, people with money and no care for others, love capitalism.

Anyway, I see you had NOTHING to say until now. Not really, some smart... asus comments.

Wonderful, now everyone will be able to enjoy fake frames- not just the elite snob.

Interesting that they are able to do similar thing as nVidia's FG without using specialised hardware, IMHO nVidia doesn't care about gaming just what suits them in professional products, else they won't waste silicon on specialised hardware.

But fake frames aren't for me, maybe for something like Flight simulator but games like that don't require high FPS.

I'm not trolling, but I have been called lots of names for pointing out the obvious

Which is fine, really. It doesn't bother me, end of the day you do you I do me and in fact I can do it all with my Nvidia card.

It's this moral grandstanding from AMD fans that I find the most amusing of all and that's the only reason I'm answering this post, how do you even lay claim to AMDs originality? They have purchased companies and IP small and large alike to add to their own portfolio. Their AI stuff is from Xilinx, hell I won't even go too far, see that Radeon Boost and Radeon Chill thing? They bought the IP and hired the HiAlgo guy for it.

Point is, you just dislike Nvidia so fiercely that my initial point of "this sucked just cause it was an Nvidia thing until now" somehow had personal level effect on you.

If AMD's driver level implementation of frame interpolation is decent this will make Nvidia look really bad because not only they lock these things out of their ecosystem but they even lock them out from within it, what excuse will they have to not offer some driver level option across older generations of cards ?

It will also play really well into their marketing if they know how to play their cards, they're gonna be able to do the classic Nvidia "look a gazillion fps more if you enable X feature" but it will actually work on everything lol.

Yes you are. Sorry to.... point the obvious, but when you avoid TRULY replying to a post and just throwing stuff about capitalism, or trying to find one example from one side, ignoring a dozen from the other, or when trying to change the subject to something more favorable to you, that's I think the definition of trolling. You don't want to be seen as someone trolling? Try to quote posts and post arguments about where you see it differently. Not ignore what people explain to you from their view in their posts and try to play it smart with a nothing reply.

Ignoring reality doesn't point to obvious conclusions. Just favorable. At least you feel fine ignoring reality and that's fine with me.
It's this moral grandstanding from AMD fans that I find the most amusing of all and that's the only reason I'm answering this post, how do you even lay claim to AMDs originality?

It's not about moral grandstanding. It's a fact. AMD knows that the press is unfavorable, that consumers are more keen in choosing something with an Nvidia logo on it, so it tries to give consumers reasons to choose them instead to give them reasons to go with Intel or Nvidia. That makes them look as having a higher moral standard than Nvidia. Like how Intel looks today as more consumer friendly in an effort to get back market share in the CPU market and get some market share in the GPU market.
I like how AMD trying to expand it's potential is translated from you as immoral tactics. It's really funny.
Point is, you just dislike Nvidia so fiercely that my initial point of "this sucked just cause it was an Nvidia thing until now" somehow had personal level effect on you.
Yeah, that's the easy "arguments". "You are with the others" "You have hatred for Nvidia". That's not an argument. That's desperation of not being able to find an argument.

Nvidia is locking out stuff for ages and nothing bad is happening with their sales or reputation. They control the narrative. The end.

Fake frames are especially for high fps, because at lower fps the 'fake' side effect is more visible and the increased leg is bigger.

You only left to choose what kind of GPU color (red\green) will play your fake games.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is, if you can turn Fluid Motion Fames off is:
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).
I'll be curious to see the quality differences of FSR 3 Maximum fidelity verses TAA and the quality differences between DLAA and this.

Fake frames are still fake frames, so the Fluid Motion Frames aren't something I'm interested in. They're only good when you're getting high enough frames to not feel the added input lag, but if you're getting 60+ FPS already, it doesn't seem like adding to that is really all that useful. I guess I'll get to see in the next few months for myself.

Yes. But at high frame rates, you don't rely on fake frames anyway. That's why I think the whole technology is pointless.

If it is like DLSS 2 vs FSR 2, their approach will probably end up inferior. The question is by how much. And also another question is how tech press will interpret that lower quality. Would they be objective, or try to present an image where a somewhat inferior quality for FSR 3 is in fact a broken, unusable feature?

TheDeeGeeBribing developers to have XeSS and DLSS removed isn't anti-consumer?
Do you have actual proof of a bribe?
How can someone remove something that wasn't implemented in the first place?

You got it right, dlss3 is good to get you from that 200+ fps close to thet golden 500fps.
AusWolfYes. But at high frame rates, you don't rely on fake frames anyway. That's why I think the whole technology is pointless.
Yep. Agreed.
You choose to compromise on leg and image authentic instead on graphic settings.

You can get higher fps either way, but with dlss3 you have the privilege to pay much more for that!

Dr. DroIt's amusing how it works, Nvidia introduces a pioneering technology, gets blasted for it, AMD releases an inferior copy and it's everyone's darling for doing so.
Like Gsync? Which already existed, but Nvidia had to have a special monitor for with a special Gsync extra cost? But AMD was already doing variable refresh rates, as was Intel and Nvidia in laptops and some kiosks

Or like Tesselation, which ATI had years before. But Nvidia had to put it in a box and tesselate concrete barriers and invisible u derground water.....

Or like Nvidia running low color for years to boost performance?

Or like Physx with it's huge game support, that prebaked most effects anyway?

Or when devs stopped tesselating concrete barriers and invisible water the next bright idea to use their overblown hardware for was hair works, I still see that a lot cause it was so revolutionary.

AnotherReaderBeing a jackass doesn't win you points.
I'm not the one who posted stupid shit and got called out for it.
AnotherReaderand given that AMD was able to find a generic way of doing it means that Nvidia could have done it the same way and chose not to
Oh I'm sorry, mister "I know the intimate technical details of how both DLSS 3 and FSR 3 are implemented better than the engineers who created them". Oh wait you don't, hence you aren't qualified to make any claims about either of these technologies. Sit down and keep quiet, kid.
AnotherReaderIn my opinion
Which is worth about as much as your alleged technical knowledge.
Vya DomusThey all work exactly in the same way, dividing the frames into a grid, using motion vectors to estimate which blocks within the grid have changed between frames and then reconstruing the intermediate frame according to how these blocks have moved.
That is the principle by which they work, not the technical implementation. Or to put it simply, the what not the how. But go ahead and keep telling yourself that those two things are the same.
ZoneDymoNvidia doesnt allow AMD to use DLSS = all fine
AMD doesnt allow Nvidia to use DLSS = OMG WHAT THUGS, SO ANTI CONSUMER
You're lying by comparing two things that are completely different. Stop lying, it doesn't make you look smart, in fact it does the exact opposite.
john_7800XT might end up slower compared to 6800XT and obviously it will get "overwhelmingly negative press" because we know that the press loves attacking AMD.
No, it will get negative press because releasing a newer product of the same tier, that is slower than its predecessor, is anti-consumer bullshit and absolutely deserves being called out - whether AMD or NVIDIA does it. Except NVIDIA doesn't.

I'm still more inclined to buy an rtx 4070 instead of an rx 7800xt and that's only because AMD "stupidly" doesn't lock their stuff to their cards. How ironic, no?
But if 7800xt offers better raster performance or equal to 4070, minus RT performance in some games I might not even play, 16GB 256 bit bus, million of years ahead all-in-one gpu control panel, comparative heat/ noise might sway me

Vya DomusI am sorry but what exactly revolutionary technology has been introduced here ?

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.
AMD had it for video for years, I always wondered the same thing, cause if they could vector motion and interpolate 24FPS or 30FPS video why not video games?
