At the Gamescom 2023 event, AMD introduced FSR 3 alongside the Radeon RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT. This new technology, a rival to NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 Frame Generation, promises to boost frame rates using AI magic. The release date, requirements, and game support details for FidelityFX 3.0 with Fluid Motion frames technology have finally been revealed by AMD. Let’s dive into the specifics.
AMD’s Announcement of FSR 3: When Can We Expect It?
According to an AMD spokesperson at Gamescom 2023, FSR 3 is set to launch in the early fall. This aligns with recent leaks that hinted at a next-month release for FidelityFX 3.0 technology. Now, AMD has officially confirmed this timeline during their announcement.
FidelityFX 3.0 is AMD’s proprietary frame-generation technology, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to increase frame rates in games by inserting interpolated frames. Comparable to Nvidia’s DLSS 3, which was introduced alongside the RTX 40 Series GPUs, FSR 3 functions on a similar premise. However, the intricacies of how AMD’s solution operates across different GPUs remain to be fully unveiled.
AMD showcased the performance of FSR 3 in action with Forspoken during the announcement. Additionally, they announced that upcoming titles such as EA’s Immortals of Aveum and Forspoken will receive patches in the following weeks to support FSR 3’s Fluid Motion Frames technology.
Which GPUs and Games Will Benefit from FSR 3?
Scott Herkelman from AMD shared during the Gamescom event that FSR 3 is being tested across numerous games in their labs. It aims to be compatible with a variety of DX11 and DX12 games. The company is actively collaborating with game developers and Unreal Engine to integrate their FSR engine via a plugin. This suggests that FSR 3 adoption might mirror the rapid implementation seen with its predecessors, FSR 2 and FSR 1, across various games.
What’s notable is FSR 3’s inclusive nature, just like its predecessors. It is confirmed to be functional across all GPUs, not just AMD’s graphics cards. Moreover, AMD assured that it will also support gaming consoles like the Xbox Series X.
FSR 3 has the potential to work on older GPUs as well, although AMD has provided “supported” and “recommended” suggestions. In terms of AMD GPUs, FSR 3 is projected to support Radeon RX 5700 and above, with the Radeon RX 6000 series being the recommended choice. For Nvidia GPUs, AMD indicates support for RTX 20 series and above, with RTX 30 series and above as the recommended options.
The anticipated release of FidelityFX 3.0 will initially cover 12 new games, with patches expected this fall. AMD confirms that the technology will extend its support to thousands of games in the future.
As the release of FSR 3 approaches next month, excitement is building among gamers. Do you anticipate FSR 3’s arrival? Is your GPU compatible with it? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
