During the presentation of the RX 7900 graphics cards, one of the technologies announced by AMD and which had gone unnoticed is the so-called HYPR-RX, which promises to increase the frame rate per second. However, his way of doing this is not through super resolution tricks like the FSR, but rather could be in response to the NVIDIA Reflex. We review this technology implemented in Radeon graphics cards.
We never tire of saying it, the images you see on your computer screen are not the exclusive work of the graphics card, but also of the processor, which must spend a lot of time carrying out a series of preliminary processes. and not generate only the list of screens. So any technology that reduces CPU time is welcome because it means it will do its job in less milliseconds and that results in a higher FPS rate.
What is AMD HYPR-RX Technology?
Well, technically it’s not a new technology, but the use of a series of existing technologies that seek to increase the frame rate. To a certain extent, this may make us think that its counterpart is the NVIDIA Reflex, but the HYPR-RX is not only based on reducing input lag, but also using certain technologies. Being composed of technologies such as Radeon Boost, Radeon Anti-Lag and FSR.
Specifically, it is nothing more than an option that will be seen in the first quarter of next year in the AMD Adrenalin application. Will we need any configuration from us? Well no, because it will be enough to activate it from the application itself with one click and we will have already applied it in all the games. However, we have to assume that anyone with a Ryzen processor and an RX 6000 or better graphics card will have an advantage over others.
How does this affect gaming performance?
Of course, what interests us is the performance that can be obtained with this technology. well, in Dying Light 2one of the most technically demanding games on PC, which AMD obtained by activating a not yet finalized version of HYPR-RX 85% more frames per second. However, this needs to be taken a bit with a grain of salt, as it’s most likely going to be done with an RX 7900 XTX and a Ryzen 7950X. In any case, it is a spectacular figure in terms of performance and all without the need for any type of additional hardware.
AMD graphics hardware alone
Ultimately, this is a technology developed by AMD to sell its graphics cards, so unlike what happens with the current FSR, we do not believe it is compatible with NVIDIA GeForce, for that l The eye of the verde company already has its own fully developed solutions to be able to solve the same problems. In any case, they are more well-designed technologies for people who have uneven CPU and graphics card configurations and cause the former to end up being a bottleneck for the latter.
