With FSR 2.0, AMD is finally planning a temporal upscaler to compete with Nvidia’s DLSS. Since the presentation in March, however, little new information about FSR 2.0 has become known. However, AMD has complied with the wishes of many users and has taken screenshots of lower resolutions including FSR 2.0 and also demonstrated the potential of the upscaler here.
The main disadvantage AMD’s FSR has had over Nvidia’s DLSS so far has been the way it is processed when upscaling. FSR 1.0 can only edit images spatially, while DLSS and FSR 2.0 use a better temporal approach. AMD already presented FSR 2.0 in March and used Deathloop for demonstration. The game is particularly suitable for this because it offers weaker TAA on the part of the engine, which could result in the loss of details that are “saved” by FSR 2.0.

After AMD only used screenshots in 4K for demonstration purposes in March, images in 1440p and 1080p have now also been published in response to popular user requests. A Ryzen 9 5950X, a Radeon RX 6800XT and 32 GiB DDR4 memory including Windows 10 were used as a test system. In the 1080p screenshots with FSR 2.0 enabled, some objects are missing, which AMD explains by the fact that the game no longer renders small objects at longer distances when the internal resolution is 720p or lower.

The different presets tested are Quality with a scaling factor of 1.5, Balanced with 1.7 and Performance with 2.0. As a result, the internal resolutions are between 67 and 50% of the native screen resolutions and should be able to achieve a decent increase in performance. AMD also offers the “Ultra Performance” preset, which unfortunately was not used in the comparison.
Despite the new screenshots, AMD does not have a reliable release date for FSR 2.0, although the manufacturer is approaching a release. The first games like Deathloop are expected to get FSR 2.0 support later this quarter, so more detailed information is likely in the near future.
