AMD FSR3 Frame Generation: Promising Image Quality, But Does It Work? - DF First Look

It's here! AMD has debuted its frame generation technology - FSR 3 - in two titles, Immortals of Aveum and Forspoken. Based on what we're looking at here, AMD has done a great job in producing decent image quality with the generated frames themselves. However, the use of FSR 3 is limited in a number of ways: v-sync off and VRR do not function correctly, while v-sync under heavy GPU load produces off-putting frame-pacing problems. There's promise here, but this is not the finished article.
