AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 3 frame generation technology has arrived on Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 consoles, marking a significant step for console gaming. While early tests in Immortals of Aveum showcase impressive performance improvements, the technology is still in its infancy and faces some limitations.
There’s a $7 app called Lossless Scaling that can double your performance in any game, with any graphics card. It works by upscaling games (or any other content) using a more sophisticated algorithm than what your monitor uses. More recently, Lossless Scaling has added frame generation, which can generate new frames between the ones rendered by your GPU. Lossless Scaling isn’t perfect, but it’s without a doubt one of the most powerful utilities you can install on your PC. It’s compatible with any game and any GPU, and it can even be used on handhelds like the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
Asus has released an update that brings AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) to the ROG Ally iGPU. This feature, similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS 3, aims to boost frame generation performance. AFMF is built into the driver, eliminating the need for game developers to add support. Performance benefits with AFMF enabled are currently unknown as the update is still rolling out. AMD recommends using AFMF in games where you are already achieving 60 fps, but it will work on any game regardless of frame rate.
