Cyberpunk 2077 gets AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with Frame Generation
Cyberpunk 2077 fans on Linux desktop and Steam Deck might be quite happy about this latest update which adds in some new performance features.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I tested it during yesterday on Linux. FSR3 is actually slower for low FPS scenarios (raytracing 30fps) but amazing for +60fps scenarios.
Much better resolution and frametimes. The frame generation option feels lile butter.
Also, the dynamic resoluton option of FSR3 doesn't impact frametimes negatively anymore like FSR2. Which is amazing.

#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.

loosening their fishing nets for now, I guess.
I think this whole ordeal angered me personally because learning a new engine and APIs means dedicating so much time that you learn a new way of thinking.
If a company then uses that to trap an entire community, in my opinion that's just evil.
