Mobile gaming better? Qualcomm Snapdragon Game Super Resolution!

Qualcomm, the company behind the Snapdragon line of processors, has unleashed its newest and innovative feature for gaming. Snapdragon GSR! – Game super resolution

In short, this new feature will enable you to play your mobile games at higher quality without affecting performance.

What is Super Resolution in gaming? 

It can be defined as a set of techniques or algorithms designed to upscale the resolution of a game from a lower resolution to a native resolution.

What is Snapdragon Game Super Resolution (GSR)? 

Snapdragon GSR is a single-pass spatial upscaling technique. This technology offers optimal quality super-scaling of your game visuals with utmost efficiency and battery savings.

What are the advantages of Snapdragon GSR?

  • Get the clearest visuals; boost resolution without sacrificing image quality.
  • Enjoy a silky-smooth experience with higher frame-rate!
  • Maximize your battery’s potential – cut down on energy usage for extra juice!
  • Amping up graphics power – Level up the visuals while keeping that smooth frame rate.

Snapdragon GSR lets you supercharge your gaming: upgrade 1080p games to ultra-crisp 4K, and get buttery-smooth graphics running at over 60 FPS even when originally capped at 30. You get the power to pick whether you want superior resolution, speedy FPS, or longer battery life while on the go – an unbeatable combo!

How does Snapdragon GSR work?

The Snapdragon GSR is tweaked to take advantage of the Snapdragon Adreno GPUs – with an innovative range-based dynamic scaling engineered for the Adreno GPU circuitry, it makes graphics look and work better whilst saving on power. With just one sweep, you can further optimize performance by adding in additional post-processing steps.

Why does GSR work best on Snapdragon hardware?

Snapdragon GSR takes advantage of Adreno hardware to trim back on registers, textures and ALU instructions, thus cutting latency and memory bus usage while keeping the power consumption low and boosting overall speed. The software deploys a 12-kernel window wherein only the green (G) channel handles luminance calculation, which leads to 100% utilization of the shader processor.

Conclusion

Ultimately, Snapdragon Game Super Resolution is the long-awaited savior of mobile gaming. PC landscape already has this super resolution gaming technology available in the form of Nvidia DSR, Nvidia DLSS, Nvidia DLAA Boasting single-pass tech and range-aware dynamic scaling, GSR provides a better graphical quality plus more battery power. Furthermore, its compatibility with most GPUs coupled with optimization for Snapdragon Adreno GPUs makes it the ultimate answer to a heightened mobile gaming journey.

Don’t let your favorite game or genre be left behind; the Snapdragon GSR is here to ensure you don’t miss out.

Mobile Games and XR products with Snapdragon GSR are expected to launch later this year.
