AMD’s imminent next-gen RDNA Three graphics playing cards are set to boast new options to drive ahead with high-end gaming – when it comes to beefy resolutions and body charges – the corporate’s chief government promised in an earnings name.

As Wccftech (opens in new tab) highlighted, within the name following the revelation of AMD’s newest fiscal outcomes, CEO Lisa Su mentioned: “Our high-end RDNA Three GPUs will ship sturdy will increase in efficiency and efficiency per watt in comparison with our present merchandise, and embody new options supporting high-resolution, excessive body price gaming.”

Efficiency per watt positive factors are anticipated to the tune of 50% (or barely extra) from what we’ve heard beforehand from AMD, the identical large leap that was seen when shifting from RDNA to current-gen RDNA 2 GPUs.

All this comes forward of the November Three launch of the next-gen graphics playing cards, with the high-end fashions anticipated to be the primary crop of RDNA Three choices. These preliminary GPUs are prone to be the RX 7900 XT, presumably alongside a stronger 7900 XTX variant, and possibly a 7800 XT, in response to the latest rumors.

Be aware that these graphics playing cards received’t go on sale for some time – maybe not till December going by the most recent hypothesis.

Evaluation: so, FSR 3.Zero is inbound?

What would possibly these new options be? (And it’s fairly telling that AMD’s chief exec mentions ‘options’, plural, slightly than only one innovation). Properly, the obvious candidate for one thing to beef up top-end gaming and push ahead with these quick body charges is FSR 3.0. That will be going up towards Nvidia’s DLSS 3, the latter itself having been ushered in with Staff Inexperienced’s new Lovelace technology (although solely the costly flagship RTX 4090 is on sale proper now).

We’re primarily basing that chance on it becoming the outline Su supplies – a body price booster, and one thing that allows enjoying video games upscaled to a 4K-mimicking decision – and likewise that FSR 3.Zero was rumored to be within the works for RDNA Three again in June.

The speculation is that it’ll be an enormous step ahead, and will use AI (machine studying) to make it extra highly effective, similar to Nvidia DLSS (and Intel XeSS for that matter). That is regardless of Staff Crimson arguing that AI isn’t needed for good-quality upscaling (although we could get FSR 3.Zero sans AI, after all – these are all simply whispers from the grapevine finally).

What isn’t talked about, or hinted at right here, is ray tracing, and rumor has it that AMD could fall a good approach in need of Nvidia’s prowess in that division. In different phrases, the state of affairs received’t change all that a lot, though the hole seen with current-gen playing cards could also be closed considerably.

That mentioned, there have been some thrilling rumors in regards to the rasterization (non-ray tracing) efficiency AMD would possibly obtain (and effectivity much more so). So maintain your fingers crossed for the occasion, as we could see one thing particular to essentially fear Nvidia – and hopefully drive competitivity within the next-gen GPU area. (Though that can, after all, depend upon the place AMD goes with pricing, not simply efficiency).
