MyGaming's Derrick Cramer puts the AMD HD 7950 through the paces and tests the card to found out how it stacks up against the competition.
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 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.
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.
This card is about 10 generations ahead of consoles. Downside is the price as of now. Once this lady is cheaper ill be feeding it to my computer.
I curruntly own a 7970 but you know what these 7950 can be clocked to a 7970 and from people who i know bought these card say they kick ass, great overclockers better cooling frame rate awsome... Whats also nice is the twin bios switch on the video cards.
So if you overclock too much need to recover a simple recover is easy by turning off pc flip switch to say bios 1 , restar your good to go these cards are ready for next gen right now i have minerunning on pci 2.1 express lane not 3.0, but i think for me what i love mostly is its improoved my states specually in bf3 im getting in my kills faster they feel like there registering better.
The performance is amazing because if your like me you come from say a gtx 560 or below even a ati 6950 your gonna feel the differnce.
Yes the price is high sadly only draw back..
I have no doubt that this card is an uber-powerful piece of technology that's overkill for most situations... But does anyone else find it amusing that all the benchmarks compare it to a gtx 570, (which it beats by few fps in most cases) only to start hinting at it being a close competitor to a gtx 580?
If that's the case why wasn't the 580 benchmarked as well? To me it seems like either a biased fluff piece or a poorly done comparison...
