Arm tweaks AMD’s FSR to bring battery-saving GPU upscaling to phones and tablets

Arm "Accuracy Super Resolution" is optimized for power use and integrated GPUs.

"Using [ASR] rendered high-quality results at a stable, low temperature," writes Arm Director for Ecosystem Strategy Peter Hodges. "Rendering at a native resolution inevitably led to undesirable thermal throttling, which in games can ruin the user experience and shorten engagement." Microsoft is pushing "Automatic Super Resolution" on Arm devices while also attempting to develop a vendor-agnostic upscaling API in "DirectSR."
