Microsoft is testing an AI upscaling feature in Windows 11 to improve the quality and resolution of video games on Windows, a feature that will likely arrive before the end of the year with the launch of the update 24H2. But it is not the only one since AMD also confirmed that they are working to adopt AI in their role Resizing the FSR.
The FSR function of AMD current, is based on a temporal escalator which uses a sobre adaptive programs to the resolution improves the final result to avoid that it vea borroso and/o poco nítido through través of conversions of space of color, mapeo of tones And again.
Mark Papermaster, Chief Technology Officer at AMD, gave an interview to the YouTube channel No Priors in which he said that the company has quickly adapted to artificial intelligence, in everything related to material and the software.
Artificial intelligence for all AMD products
According to Mark, AI will be present in all its products, especially in devices focused on the world of video games in order to be a more than valid alternative to NVIDIA DLSS technologytechnology that currently dominates the market.
Proof of the integration of AI into its products can be found in the latest generation of Ryzen APU with NPUan integration that will undoubtedly allow you to reach a greater number of end users, especially those interested in the world of video games who have a tighter budget.
He artificial intelligence-driven scaling will mean a radical change for FSR technology from AMD since it will be possible to offer details where this was not possible before. Mark says he took an in-depth look at how NVIDIA’s DLSS technology works, which significantly improves resolution, showing more details that aren’t visible at native resolution.
AMD’s AI-based FSR will use a red neuronal to extrapolate data from game frames and render them at higher resolutions. This information will be fed into AMD drivers so they can use it to improve game quality by increasing the resolution.
Will it be compatible with existing graphics?
But the question that all users of an AMD graphics card ask is that whether this feature will be available in the current range of graphics cards or only in the next generation, it would be shooting themselves in the foot, because they would lose trust. of users who trusted their graphics.
This scaling technology is probably dedicated only to NPU from this manufacturer, although it is also possible that those who do not have it will receive an FSR update so that all the hardware of the equipment works hand in hand to offer similar results.
The AI scaling feature that AMD is working on will most likely be available on the Ryzen 8000 line of APUs and Ryzen 7000 GPUs, as both include AI accelerators. Artificial intelligence. This will be bad news for users using an Rzyen 7000 APU or RX 6000 series GPU or earlier.
