are both(ffx and super sampling) of them same, is ffx based on idea of super sampling or they are just totally different approaches? if they are different then how and i have just bought a new laptop with ryzen 5 5500u and i have read that ffx will support 5000 series mobile processors too so how can i benefit from it, can i use it in a little older titles like rdr2 and cod mw 1 & 2 remastered.
ps: ya i'm new to these pc things so pls help me

Older games offer minimal chances unless they still receive active support. Most recent and new titles should ideally work with it, provided the engine allows. All anti-aliasing methods come with a performance cost. These newer options affect performance less compared to older ones. If your game runs smoothly at 72 FPS and you enable features like FFX or DLSS, you might drop to around 62 FPS. A technique like MXAA could bring you down to about 56 FPS while maintaining similar visual quality (just an estimate). You must always adjust settings according to your hardware capabilities. After adding shadow and effect details, AA tends to be the first to be affected.

There are numerous queries about this topic. Initially, FidelityFX is relatively new in the media cycle. Limited testing has taken place, so independent evaluations won’t come soon enough. Stay updated with tech reports.

The technology functions quite differently. DLSS employs predictive performance optimization by using data from the previous frame to estimate what the next frame should display. The Deep Learning component learns this behavior autonomously, without direct input from users. It operates on specialized hardware within Nvidia GPUs that are distinct from standard rendering workflows.

My perception is that FidelityFX acts as a post-processing technique, compatible with the same hardware used by other solutions. Some liken it to DLSS 1.0, which faced skepticism for not offering significant advantages over traditional anti-aliasing methods. I anticipate AMD’s upcoming version will likely deliver more value.

Mobile devices equipped with AMD graphics should be able to utilize this feature. It appears developers and companies like Nvidia and Intel may also adopt it.

Game creators will need to provide the option for users. Be aware that such enhancements typically affect performance. The goal of DLSS and FidelityFX is to reduce performance overhead while improving image quality. It might be more sensible to avoid using them on simpler or less demanding games.

They're not. The process involves rendering at a higher resolution and then reducing it to a lower one. Fidelity FX uses a lower resolution but applies algorithms to estimate detail more accurately than standard upscaling. You can enable supersampling through the driver settings on most modern GPUs. AMD refers to this as Virtual Super Resolution, while NVIDIA calls it Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR). Whether you can apply FidelityFX depends on the game since developers must implement it themselves.

It seems you're asking about the reasoning behind a suggestion regarding usage. The response explains that the advice is given because it's more suitable for simpler tasks, likely to avoid unnecessary complexity or issues.

AMD states they back many titles and developers can incorporate it into their upcoming projects, increasing the likelihood that older games such as MW 1 & 2 remastered, RDR2, or Far Cry 6 will benefit from FxC.

Some points were unclear earlier, so I focused on refining the details. The discussion centers on optimizing performance through lower resolutions and rendering techniques. This approach can significantly improve speed while maintaining quality. The key is ensuring the final output appears acceptable compared to higher-resolution versions. It varies by developer priorities—some may not pursue it due to simplicity or timing, while others might continue using similar methods.
