Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6300 is support for FSR 3 / AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The L2 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.
