Rounding out the GPU announcements from AMD, the company also took the opportunity to crow that its Radeon HD 8000 series for desktops is now en route to OEM partners. What's more, we can expect desktop rigs with this technology to begin arriving on store shelves later this month.
Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.
So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.
More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability
I've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.
I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.
I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.
Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.
We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol
As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.
I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.
I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.
While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.
@Goosejuice
I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
Now that the RTX 4070 Super has launched, AMD have chopped the price of the RX 7900 XT to new lows.
AMD has expanded its Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) tech to Radeon 700M iGPUs which play a major role in laptops, handhelds & desktops.
The ideal FPS would be for Steam Deck 45fps which is boosted to match the 90hz screen. However, today's new games are not on that level even on the OLED version, so the successor to Phoenix Point needs to come out fast. The 2nd Gen Steam Deck needs a VRR screen as well to make this doable. 2025 should be the year for such a device.
Or you need to play games better suited for Steam Deck. What would be great is a more powerful version of Steam Deck with higher specs for latest games. But... it will take a couple of years, it seems, as Gabe is waiting for a real next gen Zen+RDNA really portable kit.
You are right, it really does come down to understanding what your Steam Deck can play and how. And that to me, is a bit of a pain to deal with. For a portable, I have zero interest in tuning anything, and just want to pick up and play. To do so in the PC space, you are correct, there needs to be a real next gen APU available.
That being said, I really appreciate there are these devices and can see how people like using them. To me the Steam Deck or any PC handheld should be a device which can continue the AAA games I play on my 4090 when I'm on the go.
Personally, I'm waiting for Strix Point, RDNA 3.5 at 16CU and an OLED VRR 90-120hz screen and better memory bandwidth. This should play AAA games at low settings at locked 40 or 45 fps which would be great already for a handheld. When Strix Point is out, most of the non-Valve PC handheld manufacturers have already sorted out the kinks in their software as well, so there should be a good maturity in 2024 or 2025 in these devices.
I do think, though, that Fluid Motion Frames will be a technique that these handhelds will benefit a lot from in the coming years as it spreads.
It looks like AMD may have pulled a fast one on NVIDIA. I'm a NVIDIA fan but I have a feeling that 8990 is going to rape the GTX Titan and GTX 690. I'm glad I decided to wait for the GTX 790.
yup same ol same ol just a rename of the 7000 series for OEM to make more $$ of people who think these are new not just rebranded
This is an OLD story already known that it's just REBRANDS of 7000 series for OEM only (for appearances sake) - it may even cause AMD to finally release the 'real' 8000 series as 9000 series because of this stunt (which probably also serves them to look '2 better' than Nvidia with their 700 series)
I've had nothing but Nvidia in my PC going back to the 4200Ti - but even I have to admit they are taking the piss since the 600 series... now they are holding out on the 700 series (and AMD are following suit according to their OWN words), and this is because of trying to outdo each other while also fleecing the customers.
If everyone STOPS BUYING 600/7000 series (and certainly skip that overpriced con Titan) THEN they would have no choice but to start shipping 700/8000 series.
Why is it important? Because current cards even at 1200p can't MAX certain games @ 60fps and we are told 'they are good enough' - NO they are not! When they can run Crysis 3 on ultra at 60fps @ 1080p/1200p at least AND not cost more than the usual $500 THEN they are good enough.
Seriously, everybody stop buying and hold out for the end of year new series, even though I have a feeling the Nvidia stuff will be nothing exciting (15-20% improvement 680 - 780 at best guess) rather than the old jumps we used to get.
Maxwell is gonna be the next big jump but no doubt they have/will push that back to early 2015 now too. We only have one life and it's ebbing away - release the fkin tech you are sitting on while we are still young enough to enjoy it you assholes!
/rant over... and btw i'm STILL on a 8800 GTX that is why I'm so bitter (and waiting)
I sure hope AMD brings their A game with the next cards.
It's ludicrous that Nvidia is charging 800$ for their top of the line card now because there's no competitor from AMD yet.
Start the Graphics cards battle and bring the prices down!
Man, all the good parts from AMD/ATI are gonna be nice and cheap pretty soon. Not that they arent already :P
