Introduction
With the upcoming release of Skyrim's Anniversary Edition it is expected that AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution or FSR could be one of the main added features for game optimization, enabling users to reach 120fps on PS4, Xbox One and later versions of the consoles. Bethesda is one of the many game companies that will integrate AMD's software technology which can be seen here, and it has an upcoming support for The Elder Scrolls Online, so we can assume that the anniversary edition of Skyrim will have it.
But why wait two more weeks when you can have it today?
Using Blinue's Magpie to emulate FSR on any game. In just *eight steps!
Skyrim is one of the most modded games but not all modders' machines can run it well, treat this as a crutch of a mod to help run the game faster.
Software
These are applications that can assist with the operation of FSR on your machine:
BethINI
This is the Nexus' resident settings adjustment program for Bethesda games that has better presets for optimized settings, this is also the program I use to customize the resolution for Magpie to upscale to your screen.
Magpie
The main software that will upscale and sharpen the image of your game similar to AMD's FSR.
The language may be daunting, but all you need from it is the file the arrow is pointing at. To install it.
Process Lasso - Optional
A real-time CPU optimizer that you can use to customize the priority of your running programs which behave similar to Skyrim Priority SE, but for any software. This helps run Magpie smoother and lets you prioritize Skyrim as the main executable.
NVIDIA Driver
orRadeon Software
for AMDYour GPU driver might play a role in the optimization of the programs. AMD's Radeon Software has a built in image sharpener to help retain some details, making the running graphics appear to have a higher resolution by sharpening the rendered image. I don't know what team green has to offer but having the latest drivers
