Broad hardware support is announced by AMD for FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3), which rivals DLSS 3 in terms of fluid motion.

In addition to the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards, AMD has introduced FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 Fluid Motion (FSR 3 Fluid Motion), a performance enhancement technology that competes with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The significant news is that unlike DLSS 3, which is limited to GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada," FSR 3 is compatible with various hardware brands, including the latest Radeon RX 7000 series, previous-generation RX 6000 series RDNA2 graphics cards, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series, RTX 30-series, and RTX 20-series. There is a possibility that FSR 3 can be used with Arc A-series, although AMD has not confirmed it.

FSR 3 Fluid Motion is a frame-rate doubling technology that generates intermediate frames by estimating the in-between frames rendered by the GPU, similar to DLSS 3. The underlying technology behind FSR 3 was not disclosed in the pre-briefing, but an example of FSR 3 implementation on "Forspoken" was shown. The game, running at 4K native resolution with 36 FPS, was able to achieve 122 FPS with FSR 3 "performance" preset (upscaling + Fluid Motion + Anti-Lag). At 1440p native resolution with ultra-high RT, "Forspoken" achieved 64 FPS, which nearly doubled to 106 FPS without upscaling (native resolution) + Fluid Motion frames + Anti-Lag. The Maximum Fidelity preset of FSR 3 is AMD's version of DLAA, allowing the use of detail regeneration and AA features of FSR without reducing resolution.

AMD announced two titles that will support FSR 3 Fluid Motion: the already released "Forspoken" and "Immortals of Aveum," which was released earlier this week. The company is collaborating 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." AMD is working with leading game publishers and game engine developers, including Ascendant, Square Enix, Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red, Saber Interactive, Focus Entertainment, 11-bit Studios, Unreal Engine, Sega, and Bandai Namco Reflector, to incorporate FSR 3 support.

AMD is also aiming to include FSR 3 Fluid Motion frames as part of the upcoming AMD Hyper-RX feature. This is significant because almost any DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 game will benefit from Fluid Motion frames, expected to launch in Q1-2024.

Both "Forspoken" and "Immortals of Aveum" will receive FSR 3 patches in the Fall.
