Inside FSR 2.0 - The Making of FSR 2.0, AMD's Future Upgrades + the Xbox Connection

[@HeloisGevit]

Something I''d love to see from FSR / DLSS is a dynamic internal resolution option that adjusts to match your target frame rate. The only game I've seen that supports this is Deathloop's DLSS and it's a brilliant flawless execution. You can set your exact FPS target, and it will always be met with no noticeable difference in image quality since DLSS does an amazing job compared to basic upscaling. Furthermore it allows the internal res to scale higher than the preset "Quality" setting does, so if you can hit the target with power to spare, it becomes DLAA and just renders at native res! The consistency of a rock solid frame rate combined with this tech for resolution is perfection.

[@Azraleee]

FSR 2.0 actually supports such an operating mode. It's documented with all of the necessary quirks, such as when to restart the jitter sequence.

[@HeloisGevit]

@@Azraleee Awesome! Hope to see it get integrated into all games that support FSR though, preset resolutions are frustrating when there's so much variance in how demanding a scene can be within the same game.

[@Azraleee]

@@HeloisGevit I just remembered that Deathloop actually has the Dynamic Resolution mode that you want.

@@Azraleee For FSR too? If so it's even weirder that this is the only game to support this feature for both DLSS and FSR.

Both of which still need kernel space driver, open sourced by amd: the amdgpu that included in your linux kernel. So I'm not sure what you are complaining about. The beauty of open source scheme is everyone can contribute to improve it.

Not necessarily. We think that way, however it won't happen because of planned obsolescence

How exactly does that work. You could always run games at lower resolution lol. The obsolescence comes from arbitrary manufacturer decisions to stop driver support.

[@drdroop2163]

The fact that AMD can get this close to DLSS when just a year ago they were years behind Nvidia and given the fact that they don't use any proprietary technology or acceleration (machine learning) it's massively impressive. It's awesome that it allows us to play games at higher frame rates while still looking good on sub-2000 dollar GPUs. Sure, a 3090 with DLSS looks and performs better but DLSS isn't really for the 2000+ dollar GPUs is it? The real benefit comes from having a mid-range GPU still look and perform great at higher output resolutions.

[@LeafyTheLeafBoy]

i mean nvidia also has RTX Mid range gpu like RTX 2050

[@seamon9732]

It can also help the pricey GPUs achieve higher performance for say 4K 120/144hz displays, if you use DLDSR or if you feel crazy 8K output. But sure, it helps A LOT for relatively slower GPUs like the 3070 and lower.

[@HeloisGevit]

Those benefits you list literally also apply to the top GPUs. There isn't a GPU today that can run all games max settings at 4k120 or 8k60. You can always set higher performance and framerate targets.

[@WeinerTouchy]

@@HeloisGevit Those are very niche scenarios, however. The cost of an 8k monitor or TV are out of reach of 99% of the gaming community, 4k 120 is a pipe dream for that same amount of people.

Also, the great thing about ray tracing is that it just gets better and easier to use as time goes on and tech moves forward.

What is that low soothing music in the background halfway through the video? Ringtone? 😄

[@МихаилМиннибаев]

On start video : Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun - Valves. And Other music on C&C

The question around 11 minutes should have been expected. With some preparation he should be able to give a better anwser than the non-generic we will improved dodge anwser. At least that is my assumption.

Of course Alex Battaglia didn’t have any console questions.

[@AKSBSU]

I would have definitely liked to know more about the low number of console games that used FSR 1.0 and whether 2.0 is likely to be much more common. I've read Forspoken is supposedly going to use 2.0 in both the PC and PS5 versions.

[@discodan2265]

Any knowledge on when openvr will get full support? So far modders have been the only ones implementing it for vr titles. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 😄

[@shawnchalfant1595]

Sweet video, this one ranks up there in my book. Love AMD!

[@CaptainVKanth]

That Tiberian Sun intro track💖

[@supersymmetry4852]

What I would like to see in the future is FSR over the cloud or local streaming to VR HMD over Wi-Fi, which might alleviate issues related to bandwidth and latency.

[@pixels_per_inch]

Hmm, sounds like a good idea but I think AI assisted compression would be a better option.

[@th3orist]

happy to see alex back from that corona thingy.

[@jovi9918]

You didn't link to anything you said you would, good job

[@paradigm2841]

Enjoyed the Age of Empires soundtrack in the background

[@charoleawood]

11:54 I found the Age of Empires!

[@curryking1]

great video alex, AMD and open source tech such as freesync and FSR is impressive, as well as their APUs for consoles and laptops, for other viewers also watch DF and gamers nexus interviews with intel on their upcoming graphics, great videos as well

[@teedotfoster]

Great interview Alex. I got a little smarter!!

[@camw6519]

Love the halo music in the background

[@mercsquad89]

Great video!

[@blackstar-genX]

I don't always agree with everything you guys say but I respect and look up to all you guys at digital

[@imadecoy.]

What's with the Age of Empires 2 music in the background?

[@karansingh1154]

Are you playing age of empires ost in background?

[@saycheeseordie]

To be honest, no one would complain if AMD locked FSR to their GPUs like Nvidia did with DLSS. But that's what I like about engineering-driven approach that AMD has taken when Dr. Su got onboard as CEO. It's 'let's make cool tech available to everyone and bring new users while doing so' rather than 'we need more money, what kind of proprietary bullshit should we create so people keep buying our and only our stuff'. The fact that AMD has the entire GPUOpen initiative (btw, nice T-Shirt Nick) and opensource and freely available drivers (on Linux at least), profiling and debugging tools, and even ProRenderer, shows their commitment to that approach. It's, of course, partially because AMD was an outsider on GPU market for quite long time and that's the quickest way to catch up and win dev's hearts, but their results (both financial and technical) shows that you can make cool tech, make profit out of it while not being total asshole with your customers. Recently got RX 6600 for 1080p gaming on Linux (I use Arch btw), and couldn't be happier with both performance and compatibility. Keep it up!
