Dota 2 Updated to Work With AMD’s FSR
Dota 2 has just been updated to support AMD’s brand-new FidelityFX Super Resolution (or FSR for short). This, while undoubtedly fantastic, is also somewhat confusing — Dota 2 has never been a particularly demanding game hardware-wise; it can even run on old integrated graphics from Intel (UHD 620 and the like). Granted, it’s not anything worth writing home about, but at least it’s playable.
With FSR, however, those who are playing on older hardware will get a boost in FPS that can only be described as “magical!”
This means that if you happen to be playing on a really old GPU — or perhaps an integrated one — you’ll be able to achieve noticeably higher frame rates at a click of a button! Moreover, the game will look a lot nicer, too. Of course, at its most extreme, FSR only makes things ever so slightly blurrier. Still, seeing how you’ll be increasing the settings, the overall gaming experience should end up being a lot more enjoyable.

FS… What?
Now, if you’re not acquainted with AMD’s FSR, it’s an “open source” alternative to Nvidia’s oh-so-spectacular DLSS. It’s not quite as impressive (nor ground-breaking), but it’s available on a bunch of different hardware (Nvidia graphics cards included). As a result, it has already been able to generate a fair bit of buzz online. Moreover, the drop-off in visual fidelity is fairly negligible, especially in fast-paced games, with FPS gains of up to 50%!
Those who are gaming on a budget have a reason to celebrate! Moreover, FSR is supposedly easy to implement, so it should enjoy a much faster adoption rate when compared to DLSS. So far, we’re impressed with what AMD has accomplished, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!
