AMD has kept its new DLSS competitor, FidelityFX Super Resolution, under the radar for quite some time now. Making us wonder what is going on with the technology. Fortunately, LinusTechTips received some insider knowledge from AMD as to why the supersampling tech is taking so long to develop.

Apparently, AMD wants FidelityFX Super Resolution to have some polish to it before release. AMD wants it to be fully operational on all its graphics cards and RDNA based consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, at launch. Instead of slowly rolling out the technology per platform at a time.

It’s vague as to when we might expect it. AMD could be releasing the tech alongside the newly released RX 6700XT, or AMD might be waiting for its entire RDNA2 lineup to be released before launching its supersampling tech. We just don’t know. Plus, we don’t know if the companies newly teased RX 6000M mobile GPUs are impacting development time either.

We also don’t know how many generations of GPUs are being supported, AMD could be limiting Super Resolution to RDNA2 based products, or expanding the tech to first Gen RDNA products like the RX 5000 series, Vega integrated graphics and even the older GCN products like the RX 400 and 500 series GPUs. Adding more architectures to the mix can definitely increase development time.

Whatever the case may be, at least we know AMD is actively working on FidelityFX Super Resolution. Hopefully, the supersampling tech will be released sooner rather than later.
