As we enter the latter half of 2023, it appears AMD has not yet rolled out the HYPR-RX, contrary to its original plan for a H1 2023 release.
HYPR-RX constitutes a streamlined performance optimization tool that simplifies the activation of AMD's existing performance-enhancement features. These include AMD Anti-Lag, Radeon Boost, and Radeon Super Resolution (RSR). Activation can occur either automatically in compatible games or manually via a single click within the Adrenalin control panel. It should be emphasized that HYPR-RX does not present new technology; rather, it provides an automated solution for leveraging existing AMD performance features. The provision of HYPR-RX is particularly helpful for users who may not be fully versed in the complexities of graphics settings and technologies. It optimizes their gaming experience by alleviating the need for manual GPU setting adjustments. To draw a parallel, HYPR-RX is similar to Nvidia's "GeForce Experience". However, instead of modifying in-game graphics settings, HYPR-RX enables AMD's driver-level technologies.
In brief, Anti-Lag, Boost, and RSR are recognized AMD technologies that have been accessible for a considerable period. AMD Anti-Lag operates akin to Nvidia's Ultra Low Latency, minimizing input delays between peripherals and the monitor at the driver level. Radeon Boost promotes performance by dynamically modifying resolution or shading rates in DX12 games based on the gaming scene, thereby boosting frame rates. Radeon Super Resolution serves as a driver-level substitute for FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 (FSR), increasing games from a lower render resolution to match the monitor's native resolution.
AMD first introduced HYPR-RX in November 2022, projecting a H1 2023 release.
By manually enabling RSR, Anti-Lag, and Boost within the AMD Adrenalin control panel, users can emulate the functionalities proposed by HYPR-RX. Nvidia users can achieve similar improvements by enabling Ultra Low Latency mode and Nvidia Image Scaling (NIS) within the Nvidia Control Panel.
