The DF team checks out the new features at Gamescom.
FSR 3 will work on Radeon graphics cards, as well as Nvidia and Intel GPUs.
So, how does FSR 3 look?
Both were running with v-sync on, which AMD recommends for frame-pacing purposes.
A great start for FSR 3.
Even so, the quality was clearly evident.
Also impressive was that both demos handled UI elements well.
So, how does FSR 3 actually work?
A combination of motion vector input from FSR 2 and optical flow analysis is used.
This software-based solution doesn’t just mean that FSR 3 will run on any vendor’s GPU.
AMD recommends a 60fps base frame-rate for best results with FSR 3.
After the FSR 3 demo, AMD wanted us to show us something new andveryinteresting.
We saw it demonstrated on The Last of Us Part 1… and it works.
This is using optical flow only.
Typically, all frame-gen solutions benefit from higher base frame-rates, but this is especially important with AFMF.
However, what we saw in the demo was clearly worthwhile.
Right now, AFMF works with v-sync off, but AMD is looking to add v-sync support.
We also received a series of data points on the technology.
This is a tech with obvious limitations.
And soon we’ll have another, potentially potent one.
The only slight downer?
That means plenty of proper hands-on testing opportunities to come, so stay tuned.
