General Key points
- FidelityFX Super Resolution is used to upsample an input image into a higher resolution.
- Open source, can be used with most modern GPUs, including but not limited to AMD, Intel and NVIDIA cards.
FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0
Key points
- AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 (FSR) is an open-source spatial upscaler.
- Unlike DLSS, it does not require any dedicated hardware (NVidia RTX) and does not utilise machine learning either. The upscale algorithm is based off modified Lanczos.
- Can be used on any game on Windows with Magpie [1] or or Lossless Scaling [2].
- Natively implemented on Steam Deck to upscale any game.
- Can be used on almost any Vulkan game on Linux with Proton.[3]
- Native implementation produce much higher fidelity image as the upscale is applied before any UI elements and post-processing effects are applied. Third-party implementation such as Steam Deck's apply the upscaling at the very end of the rendering pipeline, blurring UI and producing significantly much worse image.
- Generally worse than DLSS and FSR 2 in terms of visual quality due to being a spatial upscaler. Unlike DLSS and FSR 2, which are temporal upscalers and replaces the game's anti-aliasing.[4]

FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0
Key points
- AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 (FSR 2) is an open-source temporal upscaler.
- Produced image quality is perceivably almost as good as DLSS, without requiring dedicated hardware (NVidia RTX) or machine learning hardware.
- Similar to DLSS, it replaces the game's anti-aliasing.
- AMD reported that implementing FSR 2 in games already supporting any temporal based upscaling technology (such as DLSS) could be achieved with relative ease by developers.
- There are unofficial modifications available for games which allow for replacing DLSS implementation with FSR 2.
