FSR 2.0 is no eyesore now. AMD upscaler analysis in Deathloop

Extra tests, Graphics, Technology | | Ľubomír Samák

What is FSR and image quality comparison

The second version of FidelityFX Super Resolution is officially released. This upscaler premiered in Deathloop, the first and so far the only supported game. We compared FSR 2.0 with FSR 1.0 in our tests, both visually and performance-wise. While FSR 1.0 couldn’t compete visually with Nvidia’s DLSS, and the result was significantly worse, AMD pulled the thorn out of its heel with FSR 2.0. A full-featured alternative is now available.

Performance test results: FSR 2.0 vs. FSR 1.0

Test platform custom scene; API DirectX 12, graphics settings preset Ultra; extra settings: Sun shadows Raytraced and Ambient occlusion FidelityFX CACAO Quality/Raytraced Quality.

 

Note: P, B, Q and UQ stand for Performance, Balanced, Quality and Ultra Quality. The measurements above were run on the Sapphire RX 6650 XT Nitro+. The rest of the test setup is the same as we use for standard graphics card tests. Resizable BAR (AMD SAM) is enabled.

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

AMD’s launch of Zen 5 desktop CPUs was limited to regular models without 3D V-Cache, which is a differentiator of the so-called “X3D” models that significantly improves performance in games. Gamers have no successor for the past generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which remains the best gaming CPU. This could change soon though, it seems that AMD is starting talk about the X3D version of Zen 5 and the release is coming soon. Read more “Zen 5 with V-Cache coming soon.

How much does AVX-512 help Zen 5 in x265? And how to turn it on

Extra tests, Processors | | Jan Olšan

You may not know this, but the x265 video encoder can use AVX-512, but they are unused by default for historical reasons. In the past we made a guide showing how to enable the optimizations and looked at their effect, first on Intel Rocket Lake processors and then on Zen 4. Due to the popularity of those articles, we’ve now repeated the same tests on the new Zen 5 architecture, for comparison with previous cores. Read more “How much does AVX-512 help Zen 5 in x265?

The next generation AMD GPUs with RDNA 4 architecture should be coming soon. The company has now confirmed the rumors that high-end models will not be released in this generation and it will cover only part of the performance and price range. But the company also discussed their long-term roadmaps for the Radeon and Instinct GPU architectures. It seems we could be in for a change as significant as the transition from GCN to RDNA.
