A patent application for a new AMD technology dubbed “Gaming Super Resolution” has surfaced on the official US Patent and Trademark Office site. While it isn’t clear whether this is a subset of red team’s highly anticipated NVIDIA DLSS competitor FidelityFX Super Resolution or one in the same, there seems to be a definite relationship based on the abstract, which describes a process whereby low-resolution images are processed into higher-resolution images. Patent images for AMD’s Gaming Super Resolution have been extracted by Ayxeropis.

A super resolution processing method is provided which improves processing performance. The method includes receiving an input image having a first resolution, generating linear down-sampled versions of the input image by down-sampling the input image via a linear upscaling network and generating non-linear down-sampled versions of the input image by down-sampling the input image via a non-linear upscaling network. The method also includes converting the down-sampled versions of the input image into pixels of an output image having a second resolution higher than the first resolution and providing the output image for display.
