HYPR-RX Technology Improvements

AMD has expanded its HYPR-Tune support, a component of the HYPR-RX technology for game optimization. This feature now allows HYPR-RX to automatically configure AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) with frame generation in games like Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, MechWarrior 5: Clans, and Red Dead Redemption 2. For systems with supported Radeon GPUs struggling to reach 60 fps, HYPR-RX can potentially double the frame rate without significantly impacting visual quality 2
