Ultra quality preset is very welcome IF the image quality is close to original.

Trying to find a comparison screen not in JPG format which AMD used, but so far no luck, will keep searching.

Cool to se AMD bringing an Open source solution to the table opposed to Nvdia´s proprietary option.
Although i can understand Nvidia´stance on this one opposed to some other crap they did before...

It's good for a first release and the openness is great, but has a ways to go to catch up with DLSS 2.0.
I think in most cases, I'd rather just lower other details in the game.

Microsoft and Khronos need to develop a method/call in their APIs for stuff like this, where each vendor can plug whatever method they want underneath.

Looking forward to this. Hope many games will support the feature retroactively as well. I hope active-development games like MS Flightsim and Elite Dangerous and other heavy titles, especially for VR, will get this patched in.
It'll be open source shortly, so how it works will be no secret.

tbh looks terrible - without AI cores to predict the "missing" pixels its nothing special and the images shows it... but nice try AMD...

AMD Formally Unveils FidelityFX Super Resolution: Open Source Game Upscaling (anandtech.com)
Good read.

I will wait for reviews and comparations before getting exited, we all know how bad DLSS1 was

Whilst I will never use this as I don't like upscaling of any kind (even DLSS 2.0), this will/could kill DLSS and become the primary solution.
Think about it, consoles will have full support so cross platform support should be easier than adding in DLSS just for PC.
It supports a wider range of GPU's on PC not just 2 generations of RTX cards.
This explains why Nvidia has been rampant lately slapping DLSS into everything they can get their hands on. This tech scares them, as they only want one thing and that is a monopoly of the market which is bad for everyone (and yes I know AMD wouldn't turn down more marketshare either but this is a good move opening it up).
For AMD to open this up to Nvidia hardware as well is a really cool move and only goes to help the industry as a whole. Nvidia will HAVE to beg if not pay developers to include DLSS as why would devs want to waste their time on supporting something not that many people have access too? Most people are still rocking RX580's, GTX1060's, 1070's.. mostly due to prices of new hardware or the shortages of new stock.
Also this will have the greatest impact on laptops and tablets that are still running older pascal GPU's or AMD APU's. Factor in power consumption as well, using DLSS certainly isn't free as the hardware required to drive it needs power whereas this solution from AMD could actually have the reserve effect and actually save power extending battery life in these machines. Whilst also keeping costs of machines down as no longer will you need to fork out more money for a laptop with an RTX card.
Lets see what happens on June 22nd then, hopefully it has a good beginning, anyone wanting this to fail is literally wanting the PC GPU market to become a 1 company show.

Awesome news , free performance is free so no complains here , my 3400G apu says thank you 🙂

Looks like DLSS is being replaced. I hear that developers find FSR much easier to implement and it does not segment the pc gaming market to specific cards.
FSR will support all AMD RX cards as well as nvidia cards. Looks like Nvidia 1000 series owners have something to look forward to...from their sworn competitor. LOL

Whoever has a faceless corporation as their sworn enemy really gotta get out more.
