A new tool is available on GitHub that enables PC users to force AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 in games that support FSR3.1. Functioning very similarly to the NVIDIA App, AMD GPU Profile Manager allows users to alter a game’s profile for which version of FSR to use. However, as with any app that overrides default settings of a game, the app should be used with caution, and users should first test that FSR3.1 is supported, but also that the title is already configured to use it and is stable. In addition, please remember that some anti-cheat solutions for some games have been known to cause games to crash, and in some instances, player accounts have been banned, so folks should do their homework before trying the app.
“AMD GPU Profile Manager is a utility for managing AMD GPU application profiles. It provides a interface to view, create, and manage GPU settings on a per-application basis.”
-Mikhail
Features (per GitHub via VideoCardz):
- View Profile Databases: Inspect application profiles from System, User, and OEM databases.
- Search and Filter: Find applications in the database.
- FSR Whitelisting: whitelist FSR for any application.
For those wanting a peek at the app doing its thing, Ancient Gameplays covered it in a recent stream, showing how to use it. One basic step involved is to build the project (instructions on GitHub). Mikhail has said that more features are inbound for the AMD GPU Profile Manager, which is already beginning to have similarities to the open-source NVIDIA Profile Inspector.
However, one last detail to remember is that FSR4 is limited to Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs. Another tool that might be worth checking out is OptiScaler, which recently managed to add FSR4 to any game that supports DirectX 11/12. Needless to say, folks who own a newer AMD GPU now have more options to utilize more advanced features in games.
