This sample demonstrates how to integrate and experiment with AMD FSR™ Ray Regeneration 1.2.0, a real-time ray-tracing denoising solution designed to improve the stability and visual quality of ray-traced lighting signals.
For details on the underlying algorithm, refer to the AMD FSR™ Ray Regeneration technique documentation.

Note
AMD FSR™ Ray Regeneration is only supported on AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 Series GPUs or newer. On unsupported GPUs, the sample will still run, but denoising features will be disabled.
The sample contains various UI elements to help you explore the techniques it demonstrates. The tables below summarize the UI elements and what they control within the sample.
