AMD FidelityFX SDK 1.0 Now Publicly Available For Download

In addition to the driver, AMD has updated its FidelityFX SDK package to version FSR 3.1.3. This update introduces various optimizations that reduce ghosting, including the following enhancements:

Introduced four new tunings aimed at minimizing ghosting in newly disoccluded pixels or highly reactive pixels.
Adjusted the default value of fMinDisocclusionAccumulation to -0.333 to improve response to disocclusion ghosting.
Added the ffxQueryGetProviderVersion function for version information retrieval from created ffx-api context.
Exposed ffxDispatchDescFrameGenerationPrepareCameraInfo as a required input for FSR 3.1.4 and later for optimal image quality.
Introduced support for frame generation debug checkers.
Removed unnecessary interpolation command lists when frame generation fails, addressing an infinite wait issue at swapchain destruction.
Implemented general updates and fixes to the Vulkan Frame Interpolation Swapchain.
Incorporated numerous framework improvements.
Added a debug line for frame pacing in Vulkan.
Introduced an FFX error for E_ACCESSDENIED situations in DX12 due to overlay or capture applications.
Enabled frame interpolation swapchain on Windows 10 1909 and earlier versions.
Corrected the flipped disocclusion factor between previous and current backbuffers.
Fixed HDR mode issues within the Cauldron sample application.
Resolved MSVC C compile errors in ffx-api.
