AMD has Unleashed a New Gaming Upscaler: Redstone Sets Its Sights on Nvidia's DLSS Throne
In an effort to challenge Nvidia's dominance in the upscaling tech market, AMD has introduced "Redstone," a new version of its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology. Dubbed as a competitor to Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) software suite, Redstone promises to revolutionize gaming performance with AI-powered upscaling capabilities.
The latest iteration of AMD's FSR uses machine learning algorithms to upscale lower-resolution games to 4K resolutions, ensuring smoother gameplay and enhanced visuals. The technology also includes features such as "Radiance Caching" and "Ray Regeneration," which enhance ray tracing performance in supported games.
Redstone boasts impressive performance numbers, with benchmarking showing that it can take a game like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 from 23 frames per second to an astonishing 109 frames per second. However, users must still maintain at least 60 frames per second after upscaling to avoid artifacts.
While Redstone is currently available in around 200 PC games, AMD plans to expand its reach to more titles in the coming year. The company has also partnered with Sony to bring FSR 4 to the PlayStation platform, potentially paving the way for a future PlayStation 6 system that leverages upscaling technology to enhance performance.
The introduction of Redstone marks an exciting development in the ongoing battle between AMD and Nvidia in the gaming tech space. With its AI-powered upscaling capabilities, Redstone has the potential to level the playing field and give console gamers more options than ever before.

I think this is a case where the government needs to step in, or rather, regulate the industry. It's like they say, "too much of a good thing" can be bad too. Nvidia has had a stranglehold on this upscaling tech market for years, and now AMD is finally giving them some competition. It's like the market was saying, "Hey, we're not all about Nvidia anymore!" 
But what does that mean for the consumer? Are they really getting better deals or just more options to choose from?
Maybe the government can create some new regulations or guidelines for this tech space. After all, someone has to keep the playing field level. 
. and whats with the "radiance caching" and "ray regeneration" stuff? just more tech jargon if you ask me... how much are we talking about in terms of hardware upgrades or is this just a software gimmick?
and now we can expect even better gaming performance with AI-powered upscaling capabilities 
and pairing it with Radiance Caching and Ray Regeneration will make games look so smooth and realistic 
I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this tech and see how AMD rolls out the updates for more games - hopefully they'll get some Xbox exclusives too 
. The fact that they're partnering with Sony and all that is like, yessss! More options for console gamers is the way to go 
. Now we just gotta wait and see how this plays out...
can't wait to see more games support it and maybe even get a ps6 that can handle all the fancy graphics 
! its like Nvidia's DLSS but better cuz it uses machine learning algos to upscale games 2 4K resolutions, makin gaming smooth & pretty. the perf numbers r insane too, i mean we're talkin 109 frames per sec for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 w/o artifacts 
!
but at the same time, I'm a bit skeptical... like, will it really be able to keep up with Nvidia's DLSS? I mean, they've been dominating this space for a while now, and it'll take some serious effort to dethrone them. Still, it's cool that AMD is trying to innovate, and if it can deliver on its promises, it could be a game-changer (no pun intended)
