TL;DW:
-
FSR 3 is frame generation, similar to DLSS 3. It can greatly increase FPS to 2-3x.
-
FSR 3 can run on any GPU, including consoles. They made a point about how it would be dumb to limit it to only the newest generation of cards.
-
Every DX11 & DX12 game can take advantage of this tech via HYPR-RX, which is AMD’s software for boosting frames and decreasing latency.
-
Games will start using it by early fall, public launch will be by Q1 2024
It’s left to be seen how good or noticeable FSR3 will be, but if it actually runs well I think we can expect tons of games (especially on console) to make use of it.
For anyone confused about what this is, it’s your tvs motion smoothing feature, but less laggy. It may let 60fps fans on console get their 60fps with only a small drop in resolution or graphical features. But it’s yet to be seen.

So, no Vulkan?
I’m not sure, been trying to find the answer. But FSR3 they’ve stated will continue to be open source and prior versions have supported Vulkan on the developer end. It sounds like this is a solution for using it in games that didn’t necessarily integrate it though? So it might be separate. Unclear.
Given that it will eventually be open-source: I hope somebody hooks this to a capture card, to have relatively lag-less motion smoothing for console games locked to 30.
Anybody tried frame generation for VR? Does it work well there, or are the generated frames just out enough to break the illusion?
Guys, what would be a better purchase?
-
Used 6700xt for $200
-
Used 3060 12GB for $220
-
Non of the used, get a new $300 card for the 2 years warranty.
-
Another recommendations.
$200 for the 6700XT is a pretty good deal. It’s up to you if you’d prefer getting used or getting something with warranty.

This is huge. DLSS3 was miles ahead of FSR2. So glad for AMD
