Xbox Series X games could double their FPS at 4K with new AMD graphics tech

AMD is bringing more graphical enhancements to Xbox Series X | S with FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), an upscaling tool positioned as a competitor to Nvidia's DLSS.

AMD showed off FSR, part of the FidelityFX toolbox, this week with a demo of Godfall running on an RX 6800 XT graphics card. AMD's internal testing (which will need to be compared to live tests once FSR is in everyone's hands) showed a 59% FPS boost with Godfall running at 4K with ultra quality enabled. This FPS boost increases as we go down the list of quality settings: FSR also supports normal quality, balanced, and performance mode, with the results for the latter more than tripling Godfall's FPS.

FSR is, on paper, comparable to Nvidia DLSS, which uses machine learning to super sample games, allowing them to run at higher resolutions or higher frame rates without increased hardware demands. If you're already running games at 4K, DLSS can get you an FPS boost, and if you can't comfortably reach 4K, it can make it more feasible. DLSS is more noticeable with intensive games, and while AMD's FSR uses different technology – which notably isn't AI-powered – it seems to have similar goals in mind. PGSLOT WALLET
