HYPR-X, AMD One-Click Performance Boost Technology Details

HYPR-X is associated with AMD graphics cards. It will be available in the first half of 2023. The idea is to offer the user a simple and quick way to boost performance.

This is nothing new in the strict sense of the word since the HYPR-X was revealed last month during a show Radeon RX 7900 . series. Its goal is to offer one-click performance improvement. It combines three different technologies which are Radeon Super Resolution, Radeon Boost and Radeon Anti-Lag.

All of these features are available individually through AMD software and are supported by a wide range of GPUs. The HYPR-X will appear along with the other preset profiles on the Graphics tab of the AMD driver.

In view of the various techniques applied, the improvement in performance will depend on

• Lower system latency
• dynamic scaling of the definition,
• and exploit the RSR (Spatial).

RSR uses FSR 1.0 which suffers from lower image quality than that offered by FSR 2.0. However, we have action at the driver level and not at the game level. As a result, AMD offers a more global approach capable of working with many titles.

According to the first information suggested by AMD, activating the HYPR-X under Dying Light 2 increases the frame rate by 85% (90 to 166 fps) while reducing the latency from 30 ms to 11 ms. Tested using Ryzen 9 7900X and DDR5-5200 at 1080p resolution with high graphics options.

AMD confirms that the HYPR-X will be available in the first half of 2023 without specifying when exactly.
