FSR 3.1 update allows frame generation and upscaling to run independently

Nvidia isn't the only company making announcements at GDC this month. AMD has now unveiled the latest version of FidelityFX Super Resolution, bringing us up to FSR version 3.1, which brings further visual enhancements. 

Some had complained about visual issues when FSR 3 came to The Last of Us Part 1 earlier this week. It looks like FSR 3.1 is poised to tackle many of those problems, with AMD promising improvements in temporal stability, preservation of detail and ghosting. The new version also crucially decouples upscaling from frame generation, allowing frame generation to work with other upscaling solutions.

The new version of FSR also supports Vulkan and Xbox Game Dev kits, and a new FidelityFX API will make it easier for developers to debug and provide forward compatibility with future versions of FSR.  We'll be getting more information soon, including details on the first wave of upgraded games.

Aside from this, AMD has also begun rolling out its latest version of AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. The new 24.3.1 update brings support for Dragon's Dogma 2, Horizon Forbidden West and Outpost: Infinity Siege. Several games will also get support for the HYPR-Tuned feature, including Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Diablo IV, Ghostrunner 2 and Dragon's Dogma 2.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
