AMD has released a brand new suite of driver features for its AMD Radeon Software—or rather the AMD Software, as it's now called. AMD has decided that the application and driver package is for more than merely its graphics products, so it's ditch the Radeon bit for now. Though it is still called the Adrenalin Edition, which feels moot considering it's been the Adrenalin Edition since 2017.
But there's something more interesting to talk about with this new driver package: AMD has fully integrated Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) into its drivers. This is a new upscaling technology that AMD's rolling out to offer broad support to many games, intended to complement the more focused, game-specific FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology already available.
Essentially, RSR attempts to improve how your game looks with the information given to it. The key to its performance, like any other upscaling technology, is actually lowering your game's resolution to increase frame rates, and then making that lower resolution image look better than it usually would.
As a result it's a careful balancing act to maintain performance and quality.
With RSR, it's pretty much up to you to decide if you favour performance over quality, or the other way around, however. You simply turn the feature on in the latest Radeon drivers (under Settings, then Graphics), set your resolution in-game below your native monitor resolution, and then let RSR do the work.
You can check RSR is functioning with the little green tick below the setting in the AMD Software application. Sometimes a little pop-up appears in-game to say it's on when you change the resolution, too. It's only there for a brief moment, though.
