FidelityFX-FSR2 VS Streamline

- https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-FSR2/releases/download/v2.2.1/FidelityFX-FSR2-v2.2.1-prebuilt-sample.zip

AMD's scaler is open-source. Here's the github for FSR2.

Sure, go ahead: here is the link. Go contribute and make it better, as it's an OPEN SOURCE project.

DLSS is a proprietary black box that developers have no control over (bad). FSR is open source, you can check the code, fix the code, modify the code, and port it to new devices (good). It also means there is a community of developers who are trying new things and submitting code for inclusion (there are currently 148 forks on the github).

literally not true. FSR has been constantly updated in the background and 2.2.1 was released 3 weeks ago.

If I get the FSR API files (ffx_fsr2_api_dx12_x64.lib, ffx_fsr2_api_vk_x64.lib and ffx_fsr2_api_x64.lib) from github what directory structure do they need to go into? Looking at working DLSS and XeSS as a template...

From the official docs:

More or less, but nvidia created an open-source initiative to literally make it a "single click" process to add the latest FSR, DLSS, and XeSS all to a game at once: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline

The repository on Github does not contain XeSS either. It needs to be manually added as form of a plugin. But Intel does not seem to be interested in developing one currently at all (see here and here). So I wouldn't call that a proper solution and I wouldn't even say Intel is any closer to working together than AMD...

Streamline is open source and you can find it here on the github... https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline

no lol. it's really that easy. There are generic wrappers over it like https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline

Yes if only there were some open source project that developers could implement that abstracted away the implementation of upscaling/framegen so that the vendors of such technology could just write plugins for it and developers wouldn't have to worry about directly supporting specific technologies. ...oh wait

It's there on Github, under MIT license. The Framework itself is not just a way to implement DLSS in any game, but it would allow for any vendor, Intel and AMD too, to have their own upscalers that just hook into this and work, not requiring any extra work from the developers. While AMD is paying for Respawn Entertainment to not download a UE4 plugin from the content store, Nvidia has created a framework that would allow FSR 2 to be in more games, if AMD bothered to support it...

...what hypothetical scenario is that? what the hell are you even talking about? The article in OP has a nvidia rep who very bluntly says they will not do that and they already have an open source temporal plugin system called streamline while AMD ignores the question.

Granted, if you’re not a bot, I don’t at all mind the message being shared. It’s time for people to adjust to the current information we’ve learned since March this year now with the Boundary dev team that AMD is unquestionably not the good guy quirky underdog people have loved to imagine them as. In fact with this combined with the recent changes to opening the source to more and more projects as well as developing streamline, an open source tool for properly implementing every brand’s scalar including frame gen into gaming projects, I’d say the only real thing left to complain about is the price, which I get can be absolutely staggering for anyone other than an adult with disposable income in a developed country.

Do you know Streamline SDK already exists, right? Let me quote it for you from Github: Streamline is an open-sourced cross-IHV solution that simplifies integration of the latest NVIDIA and other independent hardware vendors’ super resolution technologies into applications and games. This framework allows developers to easily implement one single integration and enable multiple super-resolution technologies and other graphics effects supported by the hardware vendor.
