Super Resolution
Massive Performance. Maximum Fidelity.
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)1 uses cutting-edge open upscaling and frame generation technologies to help boost your framerates in supported games2 and deliver amazing high-quality, high-performance gaming on virtually any hardware.
Contrast Adaptive Sharpening
Brings out the Details
FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) helps increase visual quality by enabling sharpening with optional upscaling to restore detail lost after TAA is applied. For games that support FidelityFX CAS, turning off Radeon™ Image Sharpening in Radeon Software to avoid over-sharpening is recommended.
Ambient Occlusion
More Realistic Geometry Shading
AMD RDNA™ architecture-optimized FidelityFX Ambient Occlusion (CACAO) dynamically helps improve the appearance of objects based on ambient light.
Variable Shading
Get Performance with Quality
AMD FidelityFX variable shading uses AMD RDNA 2 architecture support for variable rate shading (VRS) to analyze frames to help optimize rendering for enhanced performance.
Screen Space Reflections
High-Quality Realistic Reflections
AMD FidelityFX Stochastic Screen Space Reflections (SSSR) delivers high-quality denoised reflections via an optimized compute shader.
Denoiser
High-Quality Raytracing and Effects
AMD FidelityFX Denoising optimized for AMD RDNA architecture to help improve the visual quality of real-time raytracing and other in-game effects.
Godfall game settings: 4K, Epic Preset, Raytracing on. Tested with an AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 XT graphics card.3
