AMD FidelityFX™ SDK

The AMD FidelityFX™ SDK is our easy-to-integrate solution for developers looking to include AMD FidelityFX features into their games without any of the hassle of complicated porting procedures.

This updated version contains all of our pre-released AMD FidelityFX technologies, various fixes, updated samples, and a couple of exciting new samples.

Supports:

DirectX®12
Vulkan®
Microsoft® GDK® (requires access to Microsoft®’s GDK® Developer Program)

The AMD FidelityFX SDK 1.1.4 is a patch release that includes additions to API and fixes for issues discovered with FSR 3.1.0 to 3.1.3.

Exposed 4 new tunings to reduce FSR upscaler ghosting in newly disoccludded pixels or highly reactive pixels.
Changed the default value of fMinDisocclusionAccumulation to -0.333 (from equivalent of 0.333 in FSR 3.1.3) to reduce disocclusion ghosting.
Added ffxQueryGetProviderVersion to get version info from created ffx-api context.
Exposed ffxDispatchDescFrameGenerationPrepareCameraInfo as a linked struct. It is a required input to FSR 3.1.4 and onwards for best quality.
Added frame generation debug checker support.
Dropped unused interpolation command lists if frame generation callback fails, to fix infinite wait at swapchain destruction.
General fixes to Vulkan Frame Interpolation Swapchain.
General framework fixes and updates.
Frame pacing debug line added to Vulkan.
Added new FFX error when create frame interpolation swapchain results in E_ACCESSDENIED in DX12 due to overlay or capture software.
Enabled support for frame interpolation swapchain on Windows 10 1909 and potentially earlier versions.
Fixed flipped disocclusion factor from previous and current backbuffer.
Fixed HDR mode issues in Cauldron sample.
Fixed MSVC C compile errors including ffx-api.

The AMD FidelityFX SDK 1.1.4 also updates the following to address select issues:

Brixelizer GI 1.0.1
Breadcrumbs 1.0.1

The AMD FidelityFX SDK 1.1.2 release includes fixes for issues with FSR 3.1.1, and code changes needed for the October release of the Microsoft GDK.

Our patch release includes some FSR 3.1 fixes, support for AL2, and code changes needed for the upcoming release of the Microsoft Game Development Kit (GDK).

The AMD FidelityFX SDK v1.1 is now available. This update introduces three new FidelityFX™ technologies: FSR 3.1, Breadcrumbs, and BrixelizerGI.
