AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution: the Digital Foundry interview

Everyone wants extra performance from their PC hardware, right? And that's where technologies like AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's upcoming XeSS are all about - essentially allowing the GPU to render at a lower resolution, then either upscaling or reconstructing to the native output of the display. In a sense, this is new territory for PC, where native resolution rendering was for a long time considered the only way forward. However, in console land, 'smart upscaling' isn't new, really coming to the fore with the launch of PS4 Pro in 2016.

Nice to see Digital Foundry finally showing PS4 Pro's checkerboarding some respect as more than simply half resolution and in truth the first truly successful smart reconstruction technique predating DLSS.

Neonridr958d ago

but it pales in comparison to DLSS. So hooray for what?

Magog958d ago

DLSS is very computationally expensive and requires dedicated machine learning hardware. Checkerboard in Playstation is accelerated with relatively inexpensive hardware and archives excellent results.

Neonridr958d ago

@Magog - no offense to AMD but they are always playing catchup to Nvidia when it comes to these things. Look at RTX compared to what AMD offers.

i didnt even know there was a leak ha.

Relientk7713h ago

This is news to me. I had no idea the games from the State of Play got leaked.

Jin_Sakai5h ago

I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.

CrimsonWing696h ago

I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.

I wasn’t disappointed it was a solid B

TOTSUKO3h ago

For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh

ravens524h ago

Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste

MrNinosan3h ago

I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.

As long as it is durable; it's a deal.
