AMD RSR - 4K Gaming at 720p

Today we're taking a look at AMD's new Radeon Super Resolution or RSR technology included within the latest driver release. 5000 and 6000 series graphics card owners can enable this feature and upscale games from lower resolutions like 720p to 4K. But is it any good?

Thanks for watching :)

If they can somehow pull off this technology on GPU paired with an integrated GPU that handles the display, then I'll name my first born AMD.

Nice to see you using the 6500 XT as the review card. No, not a good card, but for a while at least literally the only genuine budget card available for those unwilling to chance their hand on the second hand market.

This is really interesting technology. I could see this being particularly useful for people who want to play on a 4k tv while maintaining decent frame rates with a gpu that can’t really deliver that kind of performance

A use case I found for RSR on accident was upscaling games that don't support your resolution. Booted up an old title that doesn't even have a 1440p option yet RSR upscaled it accordingly.

I love the move to upscaling on a driver level with both amd and nvidia with dldsr as it means that people who are willing to put up with the visual different get essentially free performance in basically any game! Especially with the driver FSR support on the Steam Deck, as it means playing on a high res display is much more doable. Thanks for trying it out 👍

Looks solid. I played using Loseless Scaling 1080p to 1440p RDR2 was decent

Really missing this on my 5700G's integrated GPU. Hopefully AMD decides it's worth the money to not lock it to RDNA GPUs (because we all know it's not a real technical limit).
I have 4k monitors (I know it's mismatched) and FSR just about makes it sensible to game on them.

it's fcking works omg i was played rdr2 with blurry resolution at 1440x900 and this dude somehow give me this i try it at my igpu amd and its work somehow, i can't believe it, youre my eyes savior dude💯💯

This is cool, thanks for your quality content appreciate it

Really love your videos, this one included, but I do have one small nitpick: the 6500XT's greatest weakness in my opinion is the x4 bandwidth, as that tanks performance (especially when using PCIE 3.0-only systems, which people upscaling from 720p will almost certainly be limited to) absurdly where other x8 and x16 4GB cards, such as the 5500XT (x8) and 1650 Super (x16), get along just fine, since they're much less sensitive to switching levels in the memory hierarchy (e.g. having to use system memory when exceeding VRAM buffer).

As I said, quite a nitpick as it's not really too relevant to the conclusion of the video, but I just wanted to share that. Dumping tech info in writing or speech never hurts me either ;). Keep doing what you're doing, your videos are really short and sweet.

I just tried it on Mount and Blade Bannerlord 720p upscaled to 1080p, better perfprmance and it reduced the temperature of the GPU from 80° to 59°. Of course less power draw. I really love RSR for the longevity of my card. And I dunno for some reason the upscaled quality is not bad and actually good and crispy.

hope they bring it in lower end AMD gpus, they need it the most

[SwiftMCy]

I recommend people try 900p upscaled to 1080p RSR. It looks very convincing and does give you a good bump. 768p wasn't so bad, but is a bit fuzzy.

[fenixspider]

I like how AMD put polaris as " to be re evaluated for RSR" status only after 6000series igpus get it but still no news about vega or vega igpus ._.
even if they are the one who will get the most benefit from it

[swecreations]

Was sad about this not supporting APUs, but then I realised, the 660M and 680M are APUs! Honestly want to go out and buy a 6600U or 6800U Lenovo Yoga laptop even more now. I can imagine gaming on the 2.8K Slim 7 being amazing as well with this.

[ZipplyZane]

I always keep finding that the camera's movement is what keeps braking my immersion in these game videos, rather than the graphics quality. It doesn't ease in and out, feeling more like it's weightless. And the lighting doesn't seem to change at the same time.

[kanuh]

nice introduction, I hope RSR improves overtime like FSR when first released

[biglevian]

Hope they'll add this feature to older gpus soon. they profit way more than the last 2 generations.

This is been a thing on GE-Proton for linux gamers for a year or so, it makes Elden Ring playable on my gtx 1050 max-q. This alongside a vulkan (Proton translates dx12 to vulkan) 30fps cap thanks to MangoHud ensures a decent frame consistency as well.
