AMD has released gaming benchmarks comparing its Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" APUs to Intel's Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" processors, demonstrating significant performance advantages with FSR 3 enabled.
FSR 3 Delivers Up to 2x Performance Uplift
AMD claims an average 75% performance improvement in several AAA games when using FSR 3 on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 compared to the Core Ultra 7 258V running XeSS. In some titles, the performance uplift reaches an impressive 2x. These gains are attributed to FSR 3's frame generation technology, a feature not available in Intel's XeSS.
| Game | Performance Increase |
|---|---|
| Ghost of Tsushima | +124.1% |
| Baldur's Gate 3 | +109.3% |
| Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 | +106.2% |
| Forza Horizon 5 | +98.5% |
| Borderlands 3 | +80.0% |
| Hogwarts Legacy | +79.6% |
| Assassin's Creed Mirage | +79.6% |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | +76% |
| Doom Eternal | +75.7% |
| Far Cry 6 | +67.0% |
| Tiny Tina's Wonderland | +65.7% |
| Shadow of The Tomb Raider | +61.0% |
| Dying Light 2 | +60.7% |
| F1 24 | +55.6% |
| Spiderman Remastered | +44.4% |
| Hitman 3 | +43.1% |
Native Resolution Performance
At native resolution, without FSR or XeSS, performance between the Intel Xe2 and AMD RDNA 3.5 iGPUs is comparable, with each trading blows depending on the game. However, FSR 3 and HYPR-RX give Ryzen AI 300 a significant edge, making it a compelling choice for mobile gaming, especially in handheld devices.
FSR 3 and AMD's Open Approach
AMD emphasized the open nature of FSR, allowing even Intel's Xe2 iGPUs to benefit from it (though frame generation remains exclusive to Ryzen AI). AMD also highlighted the broad support for FSR 3 (95+ games), FSR (415+ games), and AFMF 2 (tunable for thousands of games), contrasting it with XeSS's more limited support (around 130 games) and lack of frame generation.
