AMD FidelityFX Denoiser includes specialized spatio-temporal denoisers optimized for specific workloads:
- Shadow Denoiser: Designed to denoise a shadow mask created from tracing jittered rays towards a single light source.
- Reflection Denoiser: Designed to remove noise from the result of tracing jittered reflection rays based on surface roughness.
Supports:
- DirectX®12.
- Vulkan®.

Shadow Denoiser specific features
- Spatio-temporal denoiser, specialized for shadow denoising.
- Tile classifier to skip work on areas without spatial variance in the shadow mask.
- Increased contribution of spatial filters on low temporal sample counts.
- Analysis of the local pixel neighborhood to counter ghosting artifacts.

DepthOfFieldFX
The DepthOfFieldFX library provides a GCN-optimized Compute Shader implementation of Depth of Field using the Fast Filter Spreading approach.
GeometryFX
GeometryFX improves the rasterizer efficiency by culling triangles that do not contribute to the output in a pre-pass. This allows the full chip to be used to process geometry, and ensures that the rasterizer only processes triangles that are visible.
ShadowFX
ShadowFX library provides a scalable GCN-optimized solution for deferred shadow filtering. It supports uniform and contact hardening shadow (CHS) kernels.
