AMD RDNA 2 And RDNA 3 GPUs Reportedly Suffer ~10% Performance Loss With FSR 4 INT8

VS FSR3 that is, still gives more fps that native.

After the fatal Github error and all the tests that have ben done since, the only good option AMD has is ti officially support FSR4 on older cards, even if it makes so with an added disclaimer that to experience the best results of FSR4 you need an RDNA4 GPU. 

But of course, it's AMD, and they've chosen the wrong option many times in the past.

Intel Claims to Continue Open-Source Work, But Not at the Cost of Helping Competitors, Hinting at a More Guarded Approach

Updated Intel Patches For Cache Aware Scheduling Net A 44% Win For AMD EPYC

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Cache-Aware-Scheduling-Go

A clear example of what Intel tries to avoid.

The biggest problem I have with this change of strategy, compared to what Nvidia has done with CUDA, is that Nvidia has always (or almost) gone with a propietary approach to avoid competition, whereas Intel will now have to face a market and environment used to open standards that may be reluctant to implement Intel's more closed technologies.

We'll see how it develops.

By the way, thanks for posting the news on a holiday. You didn't have to.
