Is FSR only 4K?

For example, a game might not run particularly well at native 4K rendering. FSR allows a user to render at anywhere from 1440p (FSR Ultra Quality) to 1080p resolution (FSR Performance), which will make hitting higher framerates easier, with two other options as well.

Does FSR 2.0 use machine learning?

Regardless, AMD has demonstrated with FSR 2.0 that you do not need machine learning hardware (i.e. Nvidia's Tensor cores or Intel's upcoming Matrix Engines) to generate native-like image quality. FSR 2.0 has proven itself to be nearly as good as DLSS 2.

Is FSR 2.0 worth it?

Choosing between AMD's FSR 1.0 and 2.0 will largely depend on your hardware. FSR 1.0 performs well at higher 1440p and 4K resolutions, but lacks visual fidelity at lower resolutions such as 1080p. FSR 2.0 greatly improves on that, offering better image quality across all resolutions.

Does FSR use GPU or CPU?

FSR 2.0 is still open

DLSS only runs on Nvidia's RTX GPUs, and Intel's upcoming XeSS—while open—runs best on the company's Arc graphics cards. That's because both Nvidia and Intel loaded their GPUs up with dedicated, specialized AI cores that help speed up performance, but require that proprietary hardware.
