Massive Performance. Maximum Fidelity.

AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)¹ is the latest evolution of our advanced open-source upscaling technology. FSR 3 introduces cutting-edge frame generation technology², delivering significant framerate boosts in supported games, and a new "Native AA" quality mode for enhanced image quality. Best of all, it's compatible with a wide range of graphics cards, including those from AMD and other vendors.

Since its launch in fall 2023, AMD FSR 3 has been rapidly integrated into numerous AAA titles, such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™, Starfield, and The Last of Us™ Part I. During our FSR 3 developer session at GDC 2024 (Game Developer Conference), we announced AMD FSR 3.1 would be coming in Q2 with exciting improvements and new capabilities.

We are excited to share with you that AMD FSR 3.1 is available starting today in five fantastic games, including Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Additionally, it will soon be supported in God of War Ragnarök. With this release, FSR 3 is now supported in an incredible 60 current and upcoming games. Read-on to learn more about the enhancements in FSR 3.1 and the latest game support.

AMD FSR 3.1 Upscaling Quality Comparison.

Check out the video below from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart comparing the upscaling quality of FSR 2.2 to FSR 3.1, showcasing the substantial improvements made in the latest version.

AMD FSR 3.1 Supported Games

AMD FSR 3.1 is now available in five games, with one more announced as an upcoming title:

Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT	COMING SOON: God of War Ragnarök
Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition	Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered	Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

All these games are from PlayStation Studios™ and the games launching today were developed by Sucker Punch Productions, Guerrilla, and Insomniac Games, with the PC versions by Nixxes Software.

Massive Performance with AMD FSR 3

AMD FSR 3, especially with the latest 3.1 update, delivers exceptional upscaling image quality and massive performance boosts across a wide range of hardware. Recent testing shows that, on average, frame rates can be boosted by 3.3x on AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 Series graphics cards when gaming at 4K or 1440p. Check out the chart below for a detailed breakdown of performance improvements across a dozen games.

AMD FSR 3 Expanding Support: 60 Games and Counting

We are thrilled to announce that AMD FSR 3 is now supported in 60 available and upcoming games⁴. Some key titles include Dragon's Dogma 2, EVERSPACE 2, Gray Zone Warfare, House Flipper 2, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, Pax Dei, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Ships At Sea, Still Wakes the Deep, and The Thaumaturge.

Recommendations for Frame Generation Use

When using AMD FSR 3 and FSR 3.1 frame generation, it is highly recommended to be always running at a minimum of ~60 FPS before frame generation is applied for an optimal high-quality gaming experience and to mitigate any latency introduced by the technology. Consequently, we suggest you adjust game graphic settings, resolution, and upscaling quality modes to achieve this, based on the capabilities of the graphics hardware being used and your overall system specs.

If you have an AMD FreeSync™ technology compatible display, ensure AMD FreeSync™ is enabled in the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ Application display settings. On AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 Series graphics cards when using the Windows® 11 2022 Update or above, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) should be enabled in Windows under Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics Settings.

AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag should be disabled in the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Application control panel to avoid any issues with frame pacing smoothness or stuttering. This can be done in the specific game profile in the driver settings. We are working to fully enable AMD anti-lag technologies with AMD FSR 3 frame generation, which we will provide more details on in the future.

It is not recommended to use AMD FSR 3 and FSR 3.1 frame generation in combination with AMD Fluid Motion Frames. Frame Pacing smoothness may also be impacted by using other driver-based technologies and the use of third-party graphics overlays.

AMD FSR 3.1 Supported Products

AMD FSR 3 and FSR 3.1 are open technologies that do not require machine learning (ML) hardware, allowing support on a broad range of products and platforms, including consoles. When using FSR 3 and FSR 3.1 with super resolution upscaling and/or frame generation we recommend the following hardware:

Supported and Recommended Hardware for using AMD FSR 3 with Upscaling and Frame Generation

AMD

NVIDIA

Supported:
AMD Radeon™ RX 5000 Series and above

Recommended:
AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series and above

Supported:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 20 Series and above

Recommended:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 30 Series and above

(Note: we do not suggest using frame generation on products lower than our recommendations above. How frame generation performs will depend on the capabilities of your GPU and on older hardware you may not have an optimal experience and may see little to no improvement in performance.)
