AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution is Ready; List of Supported Games
AMD's answer to DLSS, Fidelity FX Super Resolution, is now ready to roll out. Seven games support it to begin with, and the number will increase over time.
- FSR from AMD launches with support for seven games;
- Fortunately, the list of GPUs that support FSR is much longer.
The DLSS 2.0 technology introduced by Nvidia significantly improves the speed of games without a decrease in image quality. However, only owners of RTX 2000 and RTX 3000 series cards can enjoy it. What can owners of older models do? They can use AMD's offer - FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). Manufacturer of Radeon GPUs has just announced the readiness of its technology and published a list of games that support it on launch.
The list of games that support AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR):
- The Riftbreaker;
- Anno 1800;
- Kingshunt;
- Terminator: Resistance;
- 22 Racing Series;
- Godfall;
- Evil Genius 2.
Although many may feel unsatisfied, this is only the beginning. AMD promises to gradually expand this list. More than 40 developers are signing up and expressing interest in AMD's new technology. By the end of the year the list is expected to include, among others. Far Cry 6, DOTA 2, Resident Evil: Village or Farming Simulator 22. AMD's FidelityFX is also expected to be available for free download on GPUOpen, the game development community portal, from mid-July. Mateusz Makowiec, chief technology officer at Teyon studios, says that implementing FSR is fairly easy and doesn't take much time:
"It took maybe a day to integrate it with the engine and then some time to add the option to the UI. We didn't need to make any tweaks, it just worked."
FSR Compliant GPUs
AMD isn't limiting FSR to just the latest GPU models - the Radeon RX 6000, RX 5000, RX 500, some RX 400, and even RX Vega chips are expected to be compatible (the full list is available here). What's more, the technology is also expected to be available on Nvidia GPUs. It's quite possible that the owner of a "mighty" GTX 1050 Ti will be able to enjoy better gaming performance, despite no DLSS 2.0 support for his model. According to some information, FSR may also be heading to the Xbox Series X/S console.

AMD promises up to 2.4 times performance increase when using the Performance mode of FSR technology. Such a result is supposed to apply to some games, especially higher resolutions with ray tracing enabled. If image quality is more important, you can try one of the other three FSR modes with smaller impact on performance.
