Cards like the RX6800 series and the RX6700XT are capable of solid 1440P game play without the need an additional boost.Īlso, the impact of how this will affect game play is dependent on the game itself. Right now, this is still new technology, and it is being shown on higher end products. How impactful this will be for gamers, however, is something we have not yet seen come fully to light. However, while TriXX Boost relies on the monitor’s upscaling and RIS to sharpen the image, Super Resolution does all this itself, the result is Super Resolution can give a deeper rendering cut while maintain similar image quality, thus providing a better speed boost. SAPPHIRE’s own TriXX Boost also offers a similar approach with the advantage that it gives the gamer more control and is not limited to an in-game implementation. This alone is a BIG deal as an open standard means you just get to enjoy the feature without it putting you into a forced purchasing decision. AMD has made Super Resolution open for any card to use if the game has proper support. The competition has closed off their solution and limited it to only their own cards. The concept is simple and has been done before, but the AMD FidelityFX solution offers some differences. “Performance” mode visibly impacts image quality and should only be selected in situations where the need for the ultimate in performance is critical.“Balanced” mode produces an FSR image approximating native rendering quality and delivers exceptional performance for gamers.“Quality” mode produces an FSR image with the quality representative of native rendering while delivering great performance.It should be selected when the highest FSR quality is desired “Ultra Quality” mode produces an image with quality virtually indistinguishable from native rendering with good performance.Using AMD’s own definitions each mode has a specific goal. This chart shows the 4 modes you can choose and then references what the actual rendering resolution is for 1440P and 4K displays. You render the game you are playing at a lower resolution than your target and then FidelityFX Super Resolution upscales the image to the target resolution and optimizes the upscaling to create a final displayed render that looks like native resolution.ĪMD has given players options within Super Resolution to choose the level of image quality comparatively to performance gains.

The basic premise behind this new technology is simple. The release of Super Resolution by AMD has been highly anticipated, almost as much as a new GPU would be.
