AMD's FSR Redstone is a suite of machine learning-based features designed for the future of PC graphics, based heavily on AI features. Ray Regeneration is one of those things, an ML-based denoiser that has made its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7... but only in zombies and multiplayer modes. Oh, and the benchmark sequence. Alex has tested it and explains all to Rich. Does it compete with DLSS Ray Reconstruction? Well... it's complicated.

FSR Redstone's Strange Debut: Ray Regeneration tested in Black Ops 7

They probably rushed to include it at launch, since AMD sponsors the game.

 

[SplunkyMunkey]

Still not bad for incomplete version as its still missing a few features like frame generation still uses fsr 3 ( not fsr 4 version ) and Neural Radiance Caching that helps with Ai for RT n more im guessing ?

TLDR : Heading in the right direction and PS6/Magnus will be fine.

Pretty good result. Barely any performance hit and cleans up some longstanding issues in motion. Bodes well for PS6.

Always on the journey, and never at the destination huh.

That's the nature of all tech though. Today's tech is tomorrow's doorstop.

"Fine" and "pretty good" is about all you can hope for from AMD these days

I really wonder if the detail differences between Nvidia and AMD are done on purpose due to AMD raytracing being so much worse on anything below RDNA4.

 

[viveks86]

Man, Nvidia literally set the blueprint on how these things needs to be implemented. Just copy it, AMD! I don't understand why they wouldn't come out the door with ray regen also being upscaled with a single unified model. Are there patents preventing them from implementing them the exact same way? Now it will be another year or two before we see it catch up again.

Some of the issues it's improving continue to plague DLSS too through its 4 iterations.

But sure, let's inject some platform warring retardation into the thread.

 

[simpatico]

I am old enough to remember when new exciting PC settings were used to make the game look better.

Didn't see the video but isn't this version of Redstone 0.9, and the actual 1.0 version will be released later?
