AMD FSR 3 is confirmed coming to current generation consolesThis means that it can be used on both PS5 and Xbox Series in the console version of this game.

This is very interesting because the frame generation that FSR 3 integrates could make a big improvement in terms of fluidity in PS5, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series S games. However, it seems that this implementation would not be as easy as it seems this at first sight because AMD recommends using frame generation in scenarios where it is possible to achieve 60 FPS after using the scaling process, i.e. FSR Fidelity SuperResolution.

This means that the frame generation present in AMD FSR 3 could only be viable in the performance mode that current console games contain, and that it would not be usable for quality mode. In those games that reach 60 FPS With FSR 3, it could improve up to 120 FPS. This frame rate can easily be enjoyed on a TV that has an HDMI 2.1 connector.

We must also keep in mind that in the case of the PS5, the developers will meet another major problemwhich is a consequence of the very operation of FSR 3. This technology uses a chain of exchange and exchange based on DirectX 12 which is, broadly speaking, the one that handles all optical flow and frame generation workloads asynchronously.

Xbox Series X and Series S work with DirectX 12, but the same will not happen with PS5. We know that Unreal Engine 5, which offers an alternative known as RHI, backend which does not depend on any type of platform and could solve this problem. However, this must be taken into account does not allow to work asynchronously, meaning that this workload would have to be run serially, which would have a significant performance impact, and the frame sync would be handled by the Unreal Engine framework, so it is necessary activate V-Sync.

This may end up giving some advantage to the Xbox series Overall, it is clear that the arrival of FSR 3 on current generation consoles It gives them a second life.
