    AI image upscaleing isn’t something I would associate with being energy efficient or fast. I wonder how that’s supposed to work?

      It seems like it would be extremely fast to me. Take a 50x50 block of pixels and expand those across a 100x100 pixel grid leaving blank pixels were you have missing data. If a blank pixel is surrounded by blue pixels, the probability of the missing pixel being blue is fairly high, I would assume.

      That is a problem that is perfect for AI, actually. There is an actual algorithm that can be used for upscaling, but at its core, its likely boiled down to a single function and AI’s are excellent for replicating the output of basic functions. It’s not a perfect result, but it’s tolerable.

      If this example is correct or not for FSR, I have no clue. However, having AI shit out data based on a probability is mostly what they do.
