AMD will present a closer look at its Nvidia DLSS competitor, FSR 3.0, at GDC 2023, which means RDNA 3 graphics cards could soon benefit from the technology. Like the green team’s AI toolset, the new version of FidelityFX aims to improve the performance of gaming PCs by generating more frames using the power of AI.
Nvidia arguably dominates the best graphics card battleground right now, and if the results of Steam’s recent hardware survey are anything to go by, AMD is anything but the cool kid in the GPU school. That’s not to say the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti sit nicely at the top of the totem pole, but DLSS 3 and Frame Generation are obviously turning more PC gamers into team green.
Thankfully, it looks like AMD is set to retaliate with its response to DLSS 3, as the gaming PC giant is set to show off developer tools for the technology. Presented by yslancelee On Twitter, the company plans to hold an event on March 23 at this year’s GDC, featuring a tour from SDK chief Jason Lacroix.
While the presentation is likely more than just magical frame-rate-boosting shenanigans, the event description promises to provide an “exciting preview of new FidelityFX technologies,” which likely means we’ll be looking at Fluid’s upcoming capabilities. Motion.
Our AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT review delves into the capabilities of the cheaper RDNA 3 card, but ultimately fails to beat the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti. However, FSR 3.0 could help boost fps further in benchmark tests, turning the GPU into a true RTX 4000 challenger. Whether it’ll be able to give DLSS 3 a run for its money remains to be seen, but we think that the RX 7000 will need similar frame rate weapons to survive future combat.
Frame rate fights aside, you’ll soon be able to get The Last of Us PC port for free with select AMD graphics cards, so if you’re looking for an excuse to buy a new Radeon GPU, the next bundle might be the answer.
