AMD has now confirmed it will showcase new technologies that part of the SDK during this GDK session. While it is not clear what is planned, one must remember that AMD is preparing an FSR 3.0 technology to launch somewhere in the following months. This would be a perfect time to at least mention how it will be integrated into updated SDK.
The GDC 2023 starts on March 20, while the AMD FidelityFX SDK panel is set for March 23. The company has more sessions planned, but so does NVIDIA. Unfortunately, no sessions from Intel are planned.
