'Nintendo Switch Sports,' the upcoming activity-focused game for the Nintendo Switch and sequel to 'Wii Sports,' boasts a first-ever software integration for the brand. The licensing files for Nintendo Switch Sports outline that the application supports 'AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0' (FSR). FSR is proprietary software from AMD that enables real-time GPU-powered digital upscaling, meaning the image is rendered at a lower resolution, then the graphics card upscales this resolution.
Digital super-resolution features such as FSR and NVIDIA's 'DLSS' are excellent for achieving greater visual fidelity and higher framerates on weaker hardware. Due to the small, compact nature of the Nintendo Switch and its associated hardware limitations, AMD FSR could prove to be a greatly beneficial feature for fans of the console, as they will be able to use higher resolutions and achieve greater framerates on their favorite titles.
