AMD has revealed its first RDNA 3 graphics cards, the $1000 Radeon RX 7900 XTX and $900 RX 7900 XT. As the numbering scheme and price points indicate, these are high-end models designed to compete with Nvidia's RTX 4090 and 4080, but they come with more substantial changes than you might expect - including FSR 3, designed to counter Nvidia's DLSS 3 frame generation, and a brand new chiplet-based design.
Finally, AMD announced FSR 3, promising up to double the frame-rate of FSR 2. Based on this wording - and the presentation endnote that references 'Fluid Motion Frames' - it seems a pretty safe bet that this is frame generation a la DLSS 3. This technology slightly increases input latency, but improves visual fluidity substantially as AI-generated frames are inserted between 'real' ones. As it doesn't appear that RDNA 3 hardware is used for this, the tech could be made available for older AMD GPUs as well - or even Nvidia/Intel models. That would give it a unique advantage against DLSS 3, which is exclusive to the expensive RTX 4090 (and its forthcoming 40-series counterparts) at present. FSR 3's release date was given as '2023', so presumably we'll see much more information about it over the next few months.
AMD Radeon RX 7600, 7600 XT, 7700 XT, 7800 XT, 7900 XT, 7900 XTX
