AMD's FSR Redstone uses machine learning to achieve parity with Nvidia DLSS

The next evolution in FSR frame generation

www.tomshardware.com

As part of its Computex 2025 announcements, AMD has given gamers a sneak peek at the company's major update for its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology. Dubbed FSR Redstone, the upcoming installment will bring many new features to match rival Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS).

AMD is already plotting ahead and preparing FSR Redstone as the next substantial upgrade for FSR.

Although AMD did not provide specific details, the chipmaker emphasized three features to be included in FSR Redstone: neural radiance caching, machine learning ray regeneration, and machine learning frame generation. Some of these features might sound familiar, as they are already part of the Nvidia DLSS suite.

AMD states that neural radiance caching effectively learns how light reflects within a scene. The objective is to predict and store indirect lighting assets in a cache, which can subsequently be used to generate heaps of other rays. Logically, this helps accelerate path tracing.

Ray regeneration is equivalent to Nvidia's ray reconstruction. This feature leverages a trained neural network to regenerate pixels that couldn't be accurately traced. Thanks to machine learning, it can predict and filter grainy noise in real time.

It's already pretty hard to tell between their quality settings. It's time to compete on how far those internal resolutions can be pushed down.

I have been hearing this since FSR2. I don't believe em anymore.

Umm, did an AI write the article?

Machine learning is literally how all the AI upscaling methods work

 

[Mister Wolf]

Competition is good. Hopefully they can achieve parity with DLSS4. By the time of my next GPU purchase they may become a contender.

Uh FSR4 is an huge step above; about what we can't believe anymore?

 

[Dr.D00p]

So, Path Tracing when combined with FSR4, will no longer crash framerates on AMD cards....cool.

About time.

What's the difference between DLSS and machine learning?

 

[Rentahamster]

Parity? I'll believe it when I see it. AMD's got a lot of work to do, but I hope they and Intel progress far enough in the GPU space to bring some proper competition into the arena.

What's the difference between DLSS and machine learning?

DLSS is a form of machine learning or rather, it uses machine learning. It stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling.

 

[ItsGreat]

So are these algorithms doing the similar to this? Or are they just the mathematical magic described in the video dressed up as AI?

Source: trust me bro.

 

[Klosshufvud]

AMD have been talking about parity with DLSS even before we had combustion engines.

Does it use ML for fixing the HDR for Samsung TVs on Windows when using Freesync Premium?
