Nvidia will have to copy our frame generation approach, says AMD

CPU and GPU maker AMD is about to fireplace a mighty shot throughout its bows to Nvidia this month, when AMD Fluid Movement Frames exits the preview part and turns into an official a part of its Adrenalin driver package deal. In response to AMD, you’ll be capable of allow the brand new tech in “hundreds of video games,” and the corporate even thinks Nvidia goes to should “do one thing comparable” in response.

Fluid Movement Frames shall be competing arduous with Nvidia DLSS 3 Body Era, which is supported by the corporate’s Ada GPUs, such because the GeForce RTX 4090, which at the moment tops our best graphics card information. The announcement got here as AMD launched the Radeon RX 7600 XT on the CES tradeshow in Las Vegas, with the corporate revealing that AMD Fluid Movement Frames will now turn out to be part of its Hypr-RX suite in its Adrenalin driver software program.

Talking to the press for the GPU launch, AMD Senior Supervisor of Radeon Product, Aaron Steinman, mentioned that “Hypr-RX is a one-click gaming profile resolution,” including that, in contrast to DLSS 3, it “works throughout hundreds of video games.” You principally simply must allow the function in your sport’s profile within the driver, and body technology ought to work robotically.

Nvidia has had its personal body technology tech in DLSS 3 for over a 12 months now, and it provides an effective way to massively enhance gaming body charges with minimal influence on picture high quality, because of its use of AI and Nvidia’s Tensor cores. There are a few catches, although. For one, it solely works on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000-series GPUs, such because the GeForce RTX 4070. Secondly, utilizing it requires a sport to assist it, or for a modder to unofficially add assist to a sport.

AMD was late to reply with its FSR 3 body technology late final 12 months, and even now it’s solely formally supported in a handful of video games. Nonetheless, as Fluid Movement Frames is enabled within the driver, relatively than in a sport, it ought to (in idea, at the least) principally run on any trendy sport you throw at it. Not solely that, however the driver will assist last-gen RDNA 2 GPUs, such because the Radeon RX 6800 XT, in addition to the newest RDNA 3 GPUs, such because the Radeon RX 7800 XT. What’s extra, whereas Nvidia’s DLSS tech is a closed eco system that solely runs on Nvidia RTX GPUs, AMD has made FSR 3 open supply, a technique that AMD thinks Nvidia must emulate in some unspecified time in the future.

Quoted on PC Gamer, Steinman mentioned: “DLSS is barely out there on sure options, so both Nvidia goes to have to learn from our resolution as a result of we did make it open-source and cross-vendor, or they’re most likely going to wish to do one thing comparable.”

In its personal benchmarks, AMD reveals Fluid Movement Frames massively rising body charges on the Radeon RX 7600 XT, generally almost doubling. In Baldur’s Gate 3, for instance, the Radeon RX 7600 XT normally averages 87fps, however this goes up by an excellent chunk when you allow FSR decision scaling in High quality mode, after which goes all the way in which as much as 208fps when you add body technology to the combo as effectively.

The AMD Fluid Movement Frames launch date is January 24, 2024, when it’s formally launched as part of the Radeon RX 7600 XT launch driver, and we’re trying ahead to giving it a attempt. Within the meantime, try all the newest goings on from CES, straight from the present ground.
