AMD’s next iteration of FidelityFX Super Resolution, FSR 3, upscaling technology promises to be just as revolutionary as its predecessors. FSR 3 brings frame generation and other major improvements over FSR 2. FSR 3 is said to compete well with NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.5.
You are in the right place if you have a graphics card or are an avid gamer, wondering if the new FSR 3 will come to your favorite game or GPU. Here, we will discuss the improvements made with FSR 3 and the GPUs and games supporting FSR 3. So, without any further ado, let’s begin.
Update January 7: At CES 2025, AMD revealed its FSR 4 technology; you can check out FSR 4 supported games and GPUs in our latest post.
FSR 3: What’s New?
FSR 3 brings a new feature: frame generation. Unlike its predecessor, FSR 2, FSR 3’s exceptional framerates for supported games result from a unique combination of high-resolution temporal upscaling and frame generation technology.
FSR 3 uses an improved version of AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) optical flow technology and motion vectors to generate additional high-quality frames. This feature shines brightest in resource-intensive environments, such as 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) ray-tracing gaming or CPU-intensive applications. To give you a better idea, FSR 3 gives you 2x better performance than FSR 2.
Another great thing about FSR 3 is that it is integrated directly into the game UI, making it even more efficient. Frame generation is now completely independent of the user interface.
FSR 3 also improves upon FSR 2’s interaction with the new frame generation technology by keeping the latter’s temporal upscaling technique. For those players who insist on seeing every detail, they’ve added a new “Native AA” quality mode that improves the picture without upscaling.
AMD’s Scott Herkelman stated at Gamescom that numerous titles are currently being put through the FSR 3 beta testing process. Games using DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 should be able to take advantage of the technology since it should interact smoothly with those versions of the API.
The good news for the quick integration of FSR 3 into a wide variety of gaming experiences is that AMD has been working with game developers and Unreal Engine to establish an FSR engine plugin.
Like FSR 2.0 and 1.0 before it, FSR 3 is open source and freely available to developers, giving gamers confidence in its rapid adoption. It is anticipated that FSR 3 will be released in the early fall, probably around September 2023.
List of GPUs That Will Support FSR 3
Another great thing about FSR 3 is that it will be available on many GPUs. FSR 3 will be supported on compatible AMD GPUs, including the Radeon RX 5700 series; however, the Radeon RX 6000 / RX 7000 series models are recommended for optimal performance.
