AMD's Radeon 7000 launch had a secret FSR weapon to boost frame rates for all

During the Radeon 7000 launch, AMD announced the arrival of a new version of Fidelity FX Super Resolution upscaling, FSR3, which will launch in 2023. The updated version will incorporate Fluid Motion Frames that will double frames per second (fps).

AMD general manager Scott Herkelman acknowledged during the event that Fluid Motion Frames tech is similar in purpose to Nivida’s DLSS Frame Generation, but not in process. AMD showcased a demo of this tech using Unreal Engine 5, in which the frame rate jumped from 60fps with FSR 2 to 112fps with FSR 3. There isn’t a lot of information out there as of yet on how FSR 3 will work in detail, but we expect to hear more from the company in the coming weeks.

There are currently 216 games that support FSR in some way, and that number is expected to grow steadily according to AMD. This is great news for gamers as the technology is open to owners of GPUs from all major manufacturers, not just AMD users. So owners of say an Nvidia GeForce RTX 1080 and above can take advantage of FRS 2 to improve their frame rates, so it would make sense to assume that many of those cards will also have FRS 3 support. Older GPUs are included in the list of compatible graphics cards, although with the reminder from AMD that you may not get a significant performance change when using FSR 2 on cards like the GTX 970 or RX 480.

Gimme that sweet sweet FPS

More open technology is always very exciting to us, and rather than horde its performance-enhancing tech and attach it to only its hardware, AMD has made it available to almost all PC gaming consumers so they can enjoy higher frame rates and advanced graphical effects without having to splash out on new hardware. If you want to be a bit sceptical you could argue it’s part of a marketing ploy to convince us that AMD is on the consumer's side, but this is still a very welcome difference from Nvidia's more proprietary approach.

On a more optimistic note, FRS 3 makes better gaming more accessible for many people. Those of us who hold onto our beloved, older GPUs that can’t afford an upgrade just yet, or those who have low-powered machines, will still be able to enjoy their games on higher settings

Android 12 will bring the end of third-party share menus

Apps like Sharedr will no longer be able to replace the default share dialog. What you need to know Third-party apps will not be allowed to replace the Android share menu in Android 12. You will no longer be able to set apps like Sharedr as the default. Google says it never intended to allow third-party apps to replace the official Sharesheet. One of Android 12 's biggest highlights is the new Material You design language, which brings major changes to nearly every key UI component. Android 12 will also introduce a major change to the way users share links and photos, according to a report from XDA Developers . On Android 11 , Google allows third-party apps and OEMs to fully customize the Android Sharesheet, which is the reason why the share dialog differs from one app to another. It is even possible to completely bypass the official Android Sharesheet by setting an app like Sharedr as the default Sharesheet. In addition to providing a more consistent experience, Sharedr

The new Amazon Fire HD 10 is growing into a viable productivity tablet

An already good entertainment device finally gets productive. Amazon has been busy churning out a whole host of new devices and upgrades to existing devices over the past several months. Earlier this year, I reviewed the excellent Echo Buds (2nd Gen) , and even the fantastic Echo Frames (2nd Gen), have since been updated to include options with sunglass and blue light filtering lenses . In early May, we also learned that Amazon was refreshing the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 and that it was even rolling out its first Echo Show for kids . While newer and more novel products like the ones mentioned above often see a faster update cycle, more mature devices like Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets go longer between new versions. In fact, the last update to the Fire HD 10 line was back in 2019, so, understandably, Amazon was ready to reinvigorate its flagship tablet. Not only did it update the specs and colors on the Fire HD 10, but it also gave us a second version in the Fire HD 10 Plu

Google Announces Support for Account Passkeys

Google today announced that it is introducing support for passkeys, providing an easier and more secure login method for Google accounts. Apple integrated passkeys into iOS with the launch of iOS 16 , and it is also available in iPadOS 16.1 and later as well as macOS Ventura . Passkeys are an industry standard developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium, so Google's passkey integration will work on Apple devices as well as on other devices that support the feature. As Google notes: Last year — alongside FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft — we announced we would begin work to support passkeys on our platform as an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. And today, ahead of World Password Day, we've begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms. They'll be an additional option that people can use to sign in, alongside passwords, 2-Step Verification (2SV), etc. Passkeys are both easier to use and more
