Why FidelityFX?
Who uses FidelityFX?
The effects

We’ve been receiving fantastic feedback from game developers who are now trying out FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0.

Here’s some of the great things they have to say:

“We’re very impressed with AMD FidelityFx Super Resolution 2.0. With support for a similar method already in place it only took a few hours to integrate and produces significantly sharper results than our existing TAA upscaling.”

Daniel Wesslén, Expert Render Programmer
Ubisoft

We’re very excited to show you a sneak preview of DEATHLOOP running with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0. Arkane Lyon and AMD worked closely together to integrate this technology into our game, and we are very impressed with the results.

Gilles Marion
Arkane Studios, Lyon

We’ve been aggressively pursuing the modernization of our game engine and evaluating options to improve the gaming experience for as many customers as possible. EVE Online supports a wide range of hardware configurations and this is why AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution caught our eye.

After initial investigations, we’re excited to improve the framerate with FSR and are already planning an upgrade to FSR 2.0.

Ben Hunter
CCP Games, Iceland

AMD Fidelity FX SR 2.0 is an incredibly powerful, non-vendor locked, upscaling wizardry technology.

Thanks to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0, our title Farming Simulator 22 will be able to increase the framerate and offers the freedom to increase graphics settings and resolution for a broad spectrum of GPUs.

Support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 continues rapidly as developers discover how easy it is to integrate for the benefits it brings.

Take a look at some of their experiences shared here!

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution easily integrates into games and gives a great boost in performance without losing meaningful quality. For players who want to push performance without sacrificing the graphical experience, it’s a good choice!

Anders Holmquist, CTO
Sharkmob

With AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution we are able to offer customers improved image quality at a lower performance cost than full resolution rendering.

This is particularly attractive for users with mid-range GPUs wanting to target higher resolutions. We’re very pleased that it is designed for use with all GPUs and AMD’s open source approach with FSR.

Dan Ginsburg, Graphics Engineer
Valve

High speed games need high speed frames - FidelityFX Super Resolution delivers, and all at 4K. FidelityFX Super Resolution is perfect for 4K gaming and it is also great for accessibility and up-res’ing for our players on integrated graphics machines.

FidelityFX Super Resolution helps us to hit 4K and retain high frames. We love it, and our players love it.

Garth Midgley, Managing Director
GOATi Entertainment

FSR is an amazing upscaler, it brings a level of quality very close to a native image while improving a lot the framerate, it’s also simple to integrate and works everywhere.

Jérémy Zeler-Maury, CEO. Edge of Eternity © 2021
Midgar Studio

Here at GIANTS Software we‘re excited about any new technology that adds to the realism of our Farming Simulator brand.

We started first tests with AMD FidelityFX SR early on and were convinced by the open source SDK, the ease of integration, and especially the fact that you are not reliant to any specific hardware or platform. Thanks to AMD FidelityFX SR our upcoming title Farming Simulator 22 will be able to deliver a more detailed rendering quality without sacrificing on framerate.

Supporting AMD FidelityFX SR right from the start is another exciting step for us and lets the good times grow in our Farming Simulator universe!

Stefan Geiger, CTO & Founder
GIANTS Software

AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution was an ideal solution for Illfonic’s upcoming project. The main reasons why, is how quick and easy it was to integrate into our codebase. Another reason is to ensure the game could scale for all players, and it works on all hardware.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is a best-in-class spatial upscaling solution. One thing we really like about AMD FSR is it doesn’t suffer from temporal ghosting, which has been a huge issue for us in past projects. FSR has a very low overhead latency, which is able to deliver higher performance, that even competing products can’t compete with.

Charles Brungardt, CEO
Illfonic

With FidelityFX Super Resolution, AMD has delivered another amazing platform-agnostic feature that’s easy for developers to implement and provides Godfall players higher performance at higher resolutions with everything cranked way up, including raytracing.

Keith Lee, CEO
Counterplay Games

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is a performant and easy-to-integrate upscaling solution that Nixxes is happy to provide in their games, to allow for increased performance for players across a wide range of GPUs.

Jurjen Katsman, Studio Head
Nixxes

‘We are very honored to work with AMD on the Swordsman Remake project, we are very grateful to AMD engineers for helping us to realize AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution in Swordsman Remake.

FSR technology will enable our players to get higher FPS and performance with their existing hardware. We are sure that Swordsman Remake players will like this technology.

Zhang Wei, Producer to Swordsman
Perfect World

Implementing AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution into The Riftbreaker was one of the smoothest technology integrations that we have ever done. Thanks to AMD’s “no black box” philosophy we were able to very easily implement it on both PC and consoles and tweak it for the specifics of our game engine.

FSR is a cutting-edge upscaling solution that’s available on all modern graphics hardware and combines superior quality with blazing fast performance.

Pawel Lekki, COO
Exor Studios

We are thrilled that AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 is supported by all these developers

FidelityFX CAS was really simple to integrate and yet provided a better sharpening solution for our games, replacing our custom one technique. It looks more natural, does not suffer from ringing or halo artifacts and was immediately adopted by our artist as our default sharpening solution.

Thierry Cantenot
Graphics Programmer, Asobo Studio, Microsoft® Flight Simulator Developer

[FidelityFX SSSR] shows the reasons why this technique dominates the screen space reflection space. It reflects the scene colors from any geometries with their normal map in a short timeframe. Its denoise quality resolves any visual artifact compared to the usual stochastic method.

Wolfgang Engel
CTO, The Forge Interactive

We spent a lot of time searching for an efficient and qualitative sharpening / upscaling filter, FidelityFX CAS was the solution to that problem, deblurring TAA in a natural way and increasing details without any artifacts and at nearly no costs and a very easy integration.

Jérémy Zeler-Maury
CEO, Midgar (Edge of Eternity)

FidelityFX CAS offers [a] very useful boost to image quality at minimal performance cost. The package is well designed, easy to integrate and requires very little time and effort to integrate.

Tom Hammersly
Lead Programmer, Codemasters

FidelityFX CAS is a super fast, lightweight and cross-platform solution for high quality image upscaling. We were positively surprised how easy it was to integrate with our rendering pipeline in The Riftbreaker.

Paweł Lekki
COO, Exor Studios

[FidelityFX CAS] It’s like getting a full MIP level higher for free!

Brad Wardell
CEO, Stardock

FidelityFX CAS provided excellent sharpening efforts, together with our new costume material technique we have achieved stunning image quality with low-res textures. FidelityFX CAS is very easy to integrate into our engine and AMD provided thoughtful and proactive support during our collaboration.

Haiyong Qian
Principal Rendering Engineer, NetEase

We replaced homemade sharpen/upscale solution with CAS in [our game] and realized that the sharpen quality is much better and it is faster on consoles and PC.

Anton Krupkin
Lead Engine Architect & Co-Founder, Saber Interactive

Thanks to FidelityFX CAS having a good sample to get started with, it was very easy to embed into the RE ENGINE. In addition to increasing natural sharpness with a fast processing pass, it is not prone to unintended artifacts. As a result, we were able to achieve the expected results in Resident Evil 3.

Masaru Ijuin
R&D Director, Capcom Co., Ltd.

We are impressed with CAS.

Teemu Jyrkinen
CEO, Co-founder, Vaki Games
