| Patch 2.13 for Cyberpunk 2077 |
Implementation of technology AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) in Game Cyberpunk 2077 with patch 2.13 became one of the most significant technical updates for the project. CD Projekt Red, developing Cyberpunk 2077, has adapted its game to the new requirements of high-performance graphics technologies, making it more accessible to users of a wide range of equipment. This step is important not only for Cyberpunk 2077, but also for the entire gaming industry, as AMD FSR 3 offers a new level of flexibility and visual quality for gaming projects, not limited to AMD products only, as is the case with Nvidia's DLSS.
AMD FidelityFX SuperResolution 3
AMD FSR3 – is an advanced frame generation scaling technology similar to Nvidia’s DLSS 3, but with one important difference: FSR 3 is a software solution and does not require specialized hardware like DLSS 3, making it available to a wider range of graphics cards. AMD FSR 3 is based on frame generation algorithms that add additional, software-generated frames between existing ones. This allows for a significant increase in the overall frame rate of the game, improving the smoothness and responsiveness of graphics.
The advantage of FSR 3 is that the technology is not limited to AMD products and can work on Nvidia graphics cards, as well as other GPUs that support the DirectX 12 API and Vulkan. This makes it a versatile option for gamers who want to improve game performance on a variety of systems without sacrificing image quality. With the introduction of FSR 3, Cyberpunk 2077 can offer significantly smoother gaming experience, especially at high resolutions such as 4K, which is especially important for users with powerful gaming systems.
Benefits of using FSR 3 in Cyberpunk 2077
One of the main goals of FSR 3 is to improve performance while maintaining high quality visual content. Since Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most demanding games on the market, FSR 3 support allows users of less powerful systems to play it at high frame rates even at higher screen resolutions. This is made possible by frame generation technology, which effectively doubles the number of frames displayed on the screen, making the gameplay smoother and more realistic.
Support Fluid Motion Frames FSR 3 allows for a significant reduction in GPU load during rendering, which is especially important for players looking for maximum performance on medium and high settings. For example, players who were previously getting around 30-40 FPS on high settings at 1440p can now expect frame rates to increase to 60 FPS and above with FSR 3 enabled. This significantly improves the gaming experience, especially in fast-paced scenes such as gunfights or car chases, where smooth movement is critical.
Features of FSR 3 operation Cyberpunk 2077
While FSR 3 is compatible with a wide range of hardware, there are a number of guidelines for using it to achieve the best results. CD Projekt Red recommends configuring the game so that without FSR 3 enabled, the game will achieve stable 60 FPS, and only then activate this technology. This will avoid visual artifacts and other problems associated with imperfect frame generation algorithms. It is also important to note that FSR3 may experience difficulties when used on monitors with refresh rates higher than 120Hz, which may result in frame timing issues and image smoothness issues.
Another important feature introduced with patch 2.13 is Simultaneous support for DLAA and DLSS Ray Reconstruction for Nvidia graphics card users. This innovation allows for simultaneous improvements in rendering quality and performance, making the game even more flexible in terms of graphics settings. Thus, players using Nvidia graphics cards can choose between different scaling and image enhancement modes depending on their preferences and system capabilities.
Optimal settings for FSR 3 operation
To achieve the best performance with FSR3 The developers recommend using Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, which allows you to optimize the video card at the driver level and reduce delays between frames. To do this, you need to make sure that the GPU hardware acceleration function is activated in the system settings (to do this, go to Parameters > System > Display > Graphics > Default graphics settings and activate the corresponding option). It is also important to update your video card drivers to the latest versions to avoid compatibility issues and improve performance.
Alternative Solutions: FSR 2.1 and Intel XeSS
Despite the implementation FSR3, the developers decided to maintain support for the previous version FSR2.1, allowing gamers to choose between different levels of scaling and performance improvements. This is especially useful for those who prefer more stable and proven technologies. In addition, support is now available for users of Intel processors. Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3, making the game even more accessible to a wider audience.
Support Intel XeSS also brings significant improvements in visual quality, offering high-quality image scaling with minimal loss in detail and performance. This gives users with Intel graphics cards the ability to play Cyberpunk 2077 with improved frame rates and high-quality graphics without the need for high-performance Nvidia or AMD graphics cards.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
All upscaling methods in Cyberpunk 2077Including AMD FSR3, DLSS and other solutions look almost identical at high graphics settings. Regardless of the chosen technology, the overall visual results remain at a similar level, especially in static scenes. The main differences may appear only in dynamic scenes and at high speeds, but for most players the visual difference will be minimal, and each method effectively copes with the task of increasing image quality without significant losses in performance.
