Hi everyone, ahead of our meetings with IGN, I managed to complete the console FSR 3 frame generation video - and as a bonus, I mastered the whole thing as a 120fps video... an experience you won't get via the YouTube embed above (though 50% and 25% speed is used throughout where needed). So just to stress: if you want to see the 120fps version, use the download version. It's h.264 for now, but HEVC follows shortly.

A Frame-Rate Free Lunch? FSR3 Frame Generation on PS5/Xbox Series X|S Tested

Frame generation has proven to be a genuinely useful technology for PC users - and AMD's FSR3 is now mature enough to be deployed on the current generation consoles. Immortals of Aveum is the first game to feature it and Rich has gone in depth on this one: image quality tests, frame-rate analysis, latency measurements and much, much more.
