Qualcomm has announced the upcoming launch of upscaling technology to drastically improve the performance of our in-game mobile devices, while preserving their battery life.
Qualcomm seems to have a sort of DLSS of its own. The firm has announced this week the upcoming arrival of its Snapdragon Game Super Resolution (GSR) technology. And if this name doesn’t mean anything to you at the moment, tell yourself that what’s behind it might change a lot of things when it comes to playing on smartphones and tablets.
Expected later this year, the GSR should indeed make it possible to drastically improve in-game performance thanks to a scaling system which also has the effect of reducing energy consumption – and therefore improving autonomy. of our mobile devices. At least those equipped with a SoC signed Qualcomm.
Snapdragon Game Super Resolution: towards a small revolution on Qualcomm chips?
As reported Android Authoritythe Snapdragon Game Super Resolution is not only intended for the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, however. This technology can indeed be used by smartphones and tablets equipped with older Qualcomm chips.
A bit like Nvidia’s DLSS, Qualcomm’s GSR works from a low definition image which is then scaled to a higher definition without compromising its quality… unlike the bilinear interpolation technique. (bilerp). Widely used on mobile, the latter is effective in increasing the definition artificially, but it often leads to a less clear and less detailed result.
If we go into a little more detail, Qualcomm explains that its GSR is a ” single-pass spatial upscaling technique, optimized for Snapdragon Adreno graphics processing units (GPUs)“. What you need to remember here is the concept of single passage. Most competing techniques actually use two passes, note Android Authority. Qualcomm’s method should therefore reduce memory usage, but also limit bandwidth usage, reduce latency and energy consumption.
More concretely, the GSR will, according to Qualcomm, allow Android games to go from 1080p definition to 4K, and from 30 frames per second to 60 IPS or more. The firm also assures that its technology delivers “ twice the performance of other upscaling solutions available on mobile ».
It remains to be seen when, precisely, Qualcomm will deploy this new technology. For the moment, the group is content to evoke a launch later this year, in particular on Call of Duty Warzone Mobile,Jade Dynasty : New FantasyorFarming Simulator 23 Mobile. Partnerships with Activision, Perfect World, Tencent, Netease and GIANTS Software are also mentioned.
