Intel are heralding their new Haswell processor architecture as a game-changer for gaming ultrabooks and small form factor gaming machines. Their competitors AMD predictably have serious doubts about Intel’s ability to compete when it comes to PC gaming.
AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
The frustrating Intel Raptor Lake CPU issues continue to make their presence known, this time in the South Korean gaming community.
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.
Can't we all just get along?
Since AMD is pretty much getting ALL the console dev support they'll be dominating also PC game support. Games will be GPU-intensive with the CPU doing not as much work (CPUs are Intel's specialization after all).
The title is misleading. It implies all Intel Cpu's but the article actually reflects that it is only talking about the apu units between the two companies. And of course amd has the better apu cause that's where half of their staff resources have been the past 3 years but Intel still has better cpu's for a traditional cpu+dedicated gfc setup. In years to come like maybe 2017 apu's might be powerful enough to handle high def gaming by themselves but currently they still lack the power a true gaming rig setup offers. I hope amd makes some breakthroughs because apus are much easier and cheaper to make which would open the door for many gamers who are scared or can't budget the pc gaming price. I am a pc gamer myself and i role intel + nvidia nowadays but i know amd has intelligence and drive in their company . I rememberwWhen the athlon 64 line came out and it blew intel out of the water, I can't wait for that kind of competition to resurface.
I'll still take an Intel CPU over anything from AMD.
But I do prefer their cards over Nvidias.
AMD said with an evil grin. heh
