This has led to the introduction of utilities like Magpie and Lossless Scaling, which can force various image upscaling techniques on games, including AMD’s FSR. Following the initial popularity of AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution spatial upscaling technology, in the last several months there has been gamer interest in applying the upscaling algorithm to additional games that haven’t integrated the technology. Starting things off, let’s talk about Radeon Super Resolution.

First unveiled back in January as part of AMD’s keynote address, the spring update (22.3.1) introduces a few quality-of-life features for AMD’s software stack, and is being headlined by the first release of AMD’s FSR 1.0-based Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) technology for driver-based game upscaling. You can either install both kinds of updates or just stick with the Recommended ones.AMD this morning is releasing the awaited spring update to their AMD Software Adrenalin Edition suite for their GPUs. For instance, AMD might push a launch-day driver update for a specific game to ensure the graphics cards are ready to provide optimal performance. Optional updates are often game-specific. Second, “Optional” driver updates are ones that AMD releases more frequently than the Recommended updates. The certification ensures that the drivers are ready for mass adoption. After the internal testing, the updates go to Microsoft and receive a Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certification. AMD tests these updates for bugs and stability.
