The imminent next generation of AMD RDNA3 Graphics cards are set to boast new features to advance high-end gaming — in terms of resolution and frame rates — the company’s CEO promised on a earnings call.
shred Wccftech (Opens in a new tab) Highlighted, in the call that followed the disclosure of AMD’s latest financial results, CEO Lisa Su said: “Our high-end RDNA 3 GPUs will deliver powerful increases in performance and performance per watt over our existing products, and will include new features that support higher performance, precision and gaming. high frame rate.
Performance per watt is expected to be 50% (or slightly more) than What we heard earlier from AMDthe same big leap seen when moving from RDNA to current generation RDNA 2 GPUs.
It all comes before The next generation of graphics cards will be released on November 3with high-end models expected to be the first crop of RDNA 3 offerings. These primary GPUs will likely be the RX 7900 XT, possibly along with More powerful 7900 XTX A variant, possibly the 7800 XT, according to the latest rumors.
Note that these graphics cards will not be on sale for a while – Maybe not until December It is according to the latest speculation.
Analysis: So, FSR 3.0 is incoming?
What could these new features be? (And it’s quite obvious that the AMD CEO mentions “features,” the plural, rather than just one innovation.) Well, the most obvious candidate for something to boost high-end games and move forward with these fast frame rates is FSR 3.0. That would be against Nvidia’s DLSS 3The latter itself was announced with the new Lovelace generation from Team Green (although only the expensive flagship RTX 4090 is on sale now).
We’re basically grounding that the potential fits the description given by Su – a frame rate booster, something to enable games that have been upgraded to 4K simulated resolution – and also rumored to be FSR 3.0 In the works of RDNA 3 back in June.
The theory is that it would be a huge step forward, and could use artificial intelligence (machine learning) to make it even more powerful, just like Nvidia DLSS (and Intel XeSS for that matter). That’s despite the Red team arguing that AI isn’t necessary for a quality upgrade (though we might get FSR 3.0 without AI, of course – these are all just whispers from the grapevine after all).
What’s not mentioned, or alluded to here, is ray tracing, and there are rumors that AMD may fall short of Nvidia’s prowess in this department. In other words, the situation will not change much, although the gap that appears with current-generation cards may be closed to some extent.
Having said that, there have been some exciting rumors about drip (non-radial tracing) The performance that AMD can achieve (And the efficiency is more than that). So, keep your fingers crossed for the event, as we might see something special that really gets Nvidia concerned — and hopefully, drive competitiveness in the next-generation GPU arena. (Although of course that will depend on where AMD deals with pricing, not just performance.)
