AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 1.0) is an open-source spatial upscaling solution that produces high-resolution frames from lower-resolution inputs using edge-preserving algorithms. It ships as shader code plus a DX12/Vulkan sample application for integration into game rendering pipelines.

Use cases

• upscale game rendering from lower resolution for better performance
• integrate spatial upscaling into a DirectX 12 or Vulkan engine
• improve frame rates for costly effects like ray tracing
• sharpen and upscale rendered frames with minimal quality loss
• study open-source upscaling shader algorithms

When to choose

• you need MIT-licensed, vendor-neutral upscaling you can embed in any engine
• you target DX12 or Vulkan and want a lightweight spatial upscaler without temporal data
• you want to boost performance on GPUs without proprietary upscaler support

When to avoid

• you need temporal upscaling with motion vectors and better quality (FSR 2+ or DLSS)
• your project is not real-time game rendering
• you cannot integrate custom shaders into your pipeline
