AMD has announced a new version 21.4.1 of its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition. However, one notable feature from today's release is FidelityFX super-resolution, and AMD says it has nothing further to say on the subject yet.

With Nvidia's DLSS providing strong performance gains for all GeForce cards in supported games, it is no surprise that Radeon fans are eagerly awaiting a Red Team alternative. AMD says that will happen with FidelityFX Super Resolution, an open-source new feature coming to a game near you.... . sometime in 2021.

The last we heard of the feature was from Scott Herkelman at PC World last month, where the AMD exec confirmed that it does not require machine learning to work. However, he stated that it still needs more time in the oven.

[No doubt an important feature for AMD. At the very least, AMD may be on to something with its open approach. Unilateral standards may help AMD win initial favor if Nvidia's own feature falters. [It provides a way to clean up images rendered at resolutions lower than their native resolution.
