AMD FSR 4: Early Tests Show Huge Quality and Detail Improvements

Early independent analysis of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) indicates a significant leap in upscaling quality and performance, thanks to its new machine learning based approach. These findings, following early hands-on testing, are very promising for AMD's new graphics cards. Impressive Quality Improvements Hardware Unboxed on YouTube recently tested FSR 4 against FSR 3.1 using demo systems running Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on new Radeon RX 9070 GPUs. The results were impressive, showing clear improvements in: Crisper edges and better anti-aliasing Fewer visual artifacts Improved detail in small, fast-moving elements like particles Much clearer rendering of fur textures and fine details Better handling of reflections, transparency, and holographic effects FSR 4 vs FSR 3.1 The most notable improvement was seen in 4K Performance mode, which was previously a weak point for FSR. FSR 4's machine-learning-based upscaling is much more adept at preserving the clarity of …
