AMD's upscaling technology, FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), is beginning to pick up steam, but AMD is hoping to help it along with a new driver-side version that'll work across "thousands of games" out of the box. It's called Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), and it's actually powered by FSR.
"We've taken our FSR technology and we've integrated it into the next version of the Adrenalin software suite," Frank Azor of AMD says during the company's CES 2022 live stream. "This new feature it's called Radeon Super Resolution, and it allows you get the performance benefits of FSR across nearly every game you own."

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is on PC and modders have found a way to hit the upgrade button on some of gaming's most iconic characters. Instead of spending 35 hours with Cloud trudging around in his baggy pants and one shoulderpad, you can wrap him up in a dress and a tiara from later in the game. And if you're feeling funny, you can put clown makeup on Sephiroth like he's Ronald McDonald with a katana.
