This refers to a community-developed modification designed to integrate AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) technology into video games that do not natively support it. It essentially attempts to bring the frame generation and upscaling capabilities of FSR 3 to a wider range of games, potentially improving performance, particularly in graphically demanding titles. This is achieved through modifying game files, replacing or supplementing existing rendering components with those that implement FSR 3 functionalities.
The appeal of such a modification stems from the potential for significant performance gains. FSR 3’s frame generation can, in theory, double or even triple frame rates in some scenarios, allowing for smoother gameplay or the ability to play games at higher resolutions and graphical settings. Historically, these types of modifications have been crucial for extending the lifespan of older hardware and enabling gamers to experience newer titles without substantial hardware upgrades. The community provides an avenue to utilize the cutting-edge technology, even where official support is absent.
