AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution Quality Comparison & Benchmarks (FSR)
21,246This content compares AMD’s new FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) image quality, benchmark performance, and defines how it works. We’ll also talk about CAS and DLSS.

Our benchmark comparisons for the FSR comparison were done (initially) with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, an APU that we thought would provide a unique content angle for this piece. The AMD APU is capable of playing games, as we recently showed, but is low-end enough that it’d definitely stand to benefit from FSR. We also used an AMD RX 6800 XT for gameplay capture and high-end comparisons, mostly useful for image quality between Performance, Balanced, Quality, and High Quality within AMD’s FSR suite. Of course, the natural comparison for FSR is NVIDIA’s DLSS, but they aren’t meant to be direct competitors. We’ll explain the differences between FSR, DLSS, and AMD’s CAS (and RIS) in this content as well.
