AMD’s gift to ALL gamers - FidelityFX Super Resolution

AMD has long needed FidelityFX Super Resolution to be competitive with Nvidia in ray tracing performance, and now that it’s finally here, could it possibly put up a fight? Does it have to?

Correction: At 2:56 the on-screen text shows "Quality", but the clip is actually for the "Balanced" preset as the voiceover suggests.

I'm still rolling with a 1070 and the upgrade scene is a price nightmare right now. AMD just gave everyone a way to make their existing cards last a bit longer. I don't think this can be overstated while we're in the middle of a silicon shortage.

This was a real and effective way to provide relief to the market without regard for whether you're their customer or not.

It's a boss move considering the stuff nvidia is pulling.

[skychaos]

This is better than i expected, 40% performance boost for basically unnoticeable difference. That's a generation worth of free performance gain.

Anthony's gift to all gamers - Anthony.

Kinda wish you'd test with a lower spec, older card as well to see if there's a performance difference at 1080p

[rddsknk]

In my mind, AMD wins here just because of how open it’s going to be and how many different pieces of hardware you can run it on. Even if it turns out to be a failure, AMD still deserves major props for trying something like this.

[pjp_renaissance]

I watched half this vid very confused until I realized that youtube is running at 720p for some reason. My life is a meme

[v]

Even with all it's flaws. It's important to have and the fact that it's open is a big deal. Thank you AMD. You are noticed and appreciated now more than ever.

"Now, back to Godfall"
That's the first time anyone has ever said that sentence.

[olimpather]

People watching this in 360p: Damn, the other looks the same.

Everyone at LTT is so fucking good at hosting now
I'd watch literally any of them with a smile on my face

[microbuilder]

"Works on cards up to 5 years old!"

*cries in GTX770*

[venomtailOG]

This is such hype for mobile laptops. Can't wait to play this game scaled up to 1080p and get at least 30fps in games, hopefully

[rainonedavid]

Funny how AMD making stuff like this available to all gamers makes me want to buy AMD products more

[jessepanosh]

I actually think that if you didn't pick apart the image quality most people would be hard pressed to notice a difference FSR being on or off in most cases. It's actually pretty impressive

[werter]

This is gonna be so good for my incompatible integrated graphics

[stnedpenguin]

Really enjoying watching Anthony transition to more onscreen time. He's really improved.

THE KLIK EMPIRE HAS FINALLY TAKEN HOLD OF LTT, PRAISE THE LENS FLARES

[markjm]

I'd like to see this implemented in titles from the last 5 years or so, people would get so much more life out of their 10 series nvidia gpus at a time when it would be a huge benefit. Hopefully modders can do something if devs don't care.

Anthony: shows 4 different qualities

My eyes: Its all the same
