As above, works on a lot of GPU’s including Nvidia 10 series and above.
Similar to Nvidia’s DLSS but open source. Post if you’d like it added, maybe a dev will see and it’ll get added at some point.

It would rather be Activision as a whole that eventually would choose to invest in getting AMD FX Super Resolution-support implemented in their games. And I do not see it happen soon as they not on the list of game developers that are planning to implement this in their games.

I’m surprised AMD exists in the current end-stage capitalism world we’re living in. Shouldn’t Nvidia buy-them-out already? :o

I think the monopolies commission would probably block that.
Also AMD are doing rather good CPUs these days, I’d rather they not get consumed by anyone else. Competition is very healthy for the consumer

The '‘monopolies’ commission approved the biggest merger in US Telecomms history - I’m sure they can approve this too with enough inc$ntiv$
Yeah, it would be nice if they did though. They do support DLSS, and FSR is arguably easier to implement. Ho hum we can dream.
I had a quick read about it
It’s just a zoom with some smoothening right?
why does WoW need to support it? Wouldn’t this be just the GPU driver’s job to automatically enable it when you start wow?
It allows you to get a higher FPS by using a lower resolution and upscaling it, like DLSS. You get better performance without losing graphics quality. It’s open source so it works with both AMD and Nvidia cards. FSR has to be written into the game to work.
Considering the scarcity/price of GPU’s at the moment I think implementing this would be great. Nothing wrong with free performance.

It’s untrue that you won’t lose graphics quality. That’s the whole point, that the input resolution (i.e. quality) will be lower and thus more easy to render for the computer. How noticeable that quality loss will be is another question.
That said, I hope FSR will be implemented in WoW mainly for those that want to have more eye candy but have a budget computer setup. It won’t really be much of a setting for someone who’s already got a decent rig, especially considering how CPU heavy WoW is… so, yeah, as long as you have a good CPU and a decent GPU, you won’t really need FSR. If you have a relatively crummy computer, then you’ll most likely benefit from it to some extent, particularly if you happen to be sitting on a decent to good CPU and sub-par GPU kind of setup.
tl;dr: I think Activision Blizzard would benefit from implementing FSR, because not all players have a good enough GPU to experience all the eye candy the game has to offer.
I should have said percievable loss in graphics quality yes, and it depends on your resolution and settings. From the reviews I’ve seen it works best at at 4k and 1440p with ultra and quality settings being indistinguishable from native during gameplay. You can only really see a difference if you zoom right in and even then it’s pretty subtle.
1080p performance is supposed to be under par for FSR at the moment, but hopefully that’ll improve over time.
As someone with a 1440p monitor being run by a 1660 super I’m quite interested in the tech.
It’s simple to add from what some devs posted already. However in WoW there is somewhat limited amount of hard graphics content to render. If you are on an iGPU for example then particle effects are the most limiting factor. Ardenweald could benefit from this but not sure if WoW graphics style would look good after going such system.
They were close to bancrupt priot to Zen launch. Stock was like 2 cents… now they are balling, winning vs Intel in many categories and even RDNA2 GPUs for pure rasterization win against same tier RTX Ampere cards.
;p whenn is nvidia going to takeover?
Nvidia is shifting focus from PC gaming to compute, data centre and autonomous robots/cars. They will release gaming cards but more and more % of their revenue will be from other markets. AMD is also trying but they don’t have as much of software and hardware stack as Nvidia. In the long run AMD/Intel/Nvidia gaming GPUs will even out/hit some scaling roadblocks and more and more gaming will happen via cloud streaming.
You sound like a prophet. Many such cases
Yes it would be nice to have fidelityfx super resolution in world of warcraft. I’m tottaly want it, it will be splendid!
Enhancing the visuals of wow at this point is a kin to putting lipstick on a pig.
It’s more about getting better FPS with the visuals (or very close too) you’re already using.
I think you mistake capitalism with corporate oligarchy.
So a butterfly is never a larvae?
