AMD's 2019 "Gaming Super Resolution" Patent Could be the Blueprint for FidelityFX Super Resolution?

The approach looks really smart IMO, use an algorithmic upscale for the broad image and apply DNN for detail restoration.

The talk of ground-truth for DNN sounds like AMD might be 'resolution spiking' every x amount of frames to provide reference data back to the DNN, which I'm intrigued to see if so what impact it may have on frame time.
 
I'll believe it when I see it. 3 months ago it seemed like they didn't even know how this was even going to work, and now it's about to launch? colour me sceptical yet hopeful. AMD need to get this right, first try maybe, within a year or so definitely.
 
And it's very different upscaling a video stream with modern codec versus upscaling 3d image that are being render.
"3d" Images are rasterized 2d framebuffers at end result, so not really.

i was making fun of the title wording. I'm fully aware the patent is more specific.
