Recently went from Nvidias 3050 to AMD 6700.       Does FSR automatically upscale games ran below native resolution?


For instance, Apex Legends doesn't have an option ingame in turn on FSR,  but if I check the AMD overlay ingame It tells me that FSR is in fact upscaling from the resolution I have the game set to to my monitors native resolution.

 

NIS has an overlay indicator that made it very easy to understand when/what it was doing. 

 

Does FSR automatically upscale games ran below native resolution?   or do I need to get something like Lossless Scaling set up on my computer?

The technology is actually called RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) and it is the equivalent of NIS. It is a setting you turn on in the driver software, and it will automatically upscale to your monitor's resolution from whatever resolution you are running the game at. It uses the same algorithm as FSR 1.0 to do this.

 

I don't think it's supposed to be enabled by default, but I suppose it's possible that AMD turns it on if it detects that you're running games below the monitor's native resolution? I'm not sure about that, though.

I don't think it enables automatically, at least I've never seen that happen on mine. Might be you can enable it beforehand in the driver on a per game basis or globally.

 

You should get a message when starting a game telling you you can press Alt+R to access Radeon settings while in game, which you can then use to enable RSR or show a performance overlay and so on,
