[ORIGINAL STORY] 4A Games is always motivated to innovate, evaluate, and use the newest technologies that will benefit our fans across all platforms and hardware.
Since its debut back in 2018, NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) image reconstruction technique made great strides in terms of quality, performance, and adoption. Owners of AMD graphics cards have been eagerly waiting for something that could offer similar benefits, and that something is AMD Super Resolution. Last month, Vice President & General Manager of the Graphics Business Unit Scott Herkelman confirmed that it would launch later this year, though AMD Super Resolution still needed quite a bit of work.
Interestingly, Herkelman at the time also said AMD was still gouging various ways to accomplish the image reconstruction.
Meanwhile, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition will indeed support NVIDIA DLSS 2.1. In fact, Digital Foundry already looked into the improvements made over the original game’s DLSS 1.0 and they’re massive, as you can see in these snapshots below.
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition will also support Variable Rate Shading, which AMD users will be able to activate, though it’s certainly not in the same league of DLSS. The game will be released on May 6th as a free upgrade for owners of Metro Exodus on all PC stores (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Microsoft Store), and it’ll also be playable with ray tracing and DLSS through GeForce NOW.
The Enhanced Edition is coming to next-generation consoles, too, though at later date.
