AMD will update Software Adrenalin every year. Compared with the driver software of the previous year, the latest version of Adrenalin 22.3.1 this year can generally bring a 15% improvement in game (optimization) performance, and continuously increase the functions provided by the software. Features like RSR, AMD Link, RIS, etc. have new updates.
Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) driver version of FSR
This year’s update will alsoFidelityFX Super Resolution“(FSR) performance enhancement technology introduces driver support, which means that players can enable “Radeon Super Resolution” (RSR) through Software Adrenalin, so that all games can use driver support performance enhancement technology.
In terms of settings, you need to go to Software Adrenalin > Settings > Graphics Card > Enable the “Radeon Super Resolution” setting, then open any game and set it to “Full Screen”, “Reduce Game Resolution”, for example, the native screen is 3840 x 2160 At 4K resolution, you can set the game resolution to 2560 x 1440, thereby using the lower game rendering resolution to improve game performance through Radeon Super Resolution (RSR).
In the game, players can also open AMD Software through the “Alt + R” command. At this time, a green tick will appear in the option of Radeon super resolution setting, which means that the RSR function is in use.
Using “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” to test the performance, the RX 6800 graphics card can reach an average of 59 FPS under the native 4K, very high picture quality settings, and then through RSR to start from 1080p to upgrade 4K to achieve the highest performance increase of 121 FPS , 1440p game resolution has 95 FPS, 1800p game resolution average 72 FPS.
This performance increase is also the same as the result of the previous FSR test. Of course, this also means that the game image quality performance is also comparable to the previous FSR result. In the RSR setting, it is recommended to adjust the game resolution to a lower resolution than the native screen resolution, such as a 4K screen. Just set the game 1440p, 2K screen and set the game 1080p, so as to improve the school performance while maintaining a certain game picture quality.
In addition, AMD Link also adds 4 people to play regional games on the same PC, and can use its own device as a second control and custom hotkeys and other functions, and also supports Intel and NVIDIA platforms; and Radeon Image Sharp In addition to enhancements to games, it also supports productivity and media applications.
The new version of Software Adrenalin 22.3.1 will be available for download today on 3/17. Players who want to experience the driver version of Radeon Super Resolution RSR can enjoy it following updating the driver software.
FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 upgrades Temporal Upscaling technology
AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) image upgrade technology does not require a specific GPU hardware unit, and is compatible with any AMD or NVIDIA graphics card. As long as game developers integrate the FSR SDK, players can get better game performance with near-native rendering of game images.
AMD will introduce Temporal Upscaling technology in FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 version, that is, each frame of image will be calculated according to the previous frame of image and the changed vector of this frame, so as to achieve better game performance improvement and optimize anti-aliasing effect. .
FSR 2.0 is expected to be launched in Q2 2022, and the detailed technology can be expected at the GDC 2022 AMD technical presentation on 3/23.
Finally, AMD also compiled a comparison table between RSR and FSR. RSR is the super-resolution supported by the driver, while FSR is the built-in super-resolution of the game. In other words, as long as the RSR is an AMD RX 5000 series graphics card, it can be used without restrictions on the game. The FSR must be supported by the game’s built-in support, but this does not limit the AMD GPU.
RSR and FSR have the same improved performance, but the built-in FSR will be better than RSR in terms of image quality; as for the setting, it is much simpler than FSR, as long as the game settings are turned on and adjusted, and RSR must be set in the game in addition to the driver. Full screen, lower than screen resolution game settings can effectively enable RSR’s super resolution.
