Builds on #695 by @nyakuoff (their seven commits are kept unchanged, merged into current nx2); this adds camera jitter and a texture LOD bias to its FSR 3.1 path. If #695 lands first, only the last four commits remain. Base: nx2 bbf3e6297. The merge commit resolves #695's one conflict with #858 in PrepareDraw (#695 drops the EGLANTINE_STREAMLINE guard around the Ocarina hooks; #858's fast-draw stats follow them).

Related: #678 by @ProphetWild does host jitter and an LOD bias for its DLSS path, and #831 by @JuliusBairaktaris lists host jitter on scene draws and keeping the negative LOD bias off render targets in its checklist. This PR is separate code for #695's FSR 3.1 path; the rule to jitter only depth-tested draws follows #678's finding that full-screen passes keep the depth bound and shake when jittered (and review feedback here: full-screen passes can have depth writes on with the test off). If #678 lands, the jitter in vk_rasterizer.cpp needs a merge with its own.

What it fixes
Ocarina renders without camera jitter, so with #695 FSR 3.1 sees the same sample positions every frame. It can stabilise the image but can't reconstruct sub-pixel detail: edges keep the render resolution's stair steps after the 1440p -> 4K upscale. #695 lists this as a limit. FSR also renders below the output size, so textures pick the render size's mips and look softer than the output resolution allows.

Changes

  • Jitter (vk_rasterizer.cpp): while FSR replaced the previous frame's upscale, every draw that depth-tests against the scene depth at the scene size has its viewport offset by a Halton (2,3) sub-pixel amount. FSR 3.1 gets the same offset as the frame's jitter. The sequence length is AMD's phase count, 8 x (output / render width)², taken from the last FSR frame: 18 for docked 1440p -> 4K, 8 for native AA. Shadow maps, half-size passes and full-screen passes aren't offset. A draw with depth writes on but the test off isn't offset either: with the test off Vulkan writes no depth, so it isn't a scene draw (on the close-up save one full-screen triangle per frame has that state). A frame the game upscales itself (a fallback frame) isn't offset either, so it doesn't shake.
  • Motion vectors with jitter: FSR is created without the jitter-cancellation flag, so it expects motion without jitter. Camera motion comes from the unjittered matrices. Ocarina of Time: AMD FSR 3.1 in place of the game's anti-aliasing network #695's replay of Link's skinned draw keeps a fragment only where its depth matches the scene depth; it is now drawn with the same viewport offset as the scene, so it compares the same samples, and its motion is taken from the unjittered position (vk_ocarina_camera_motion.cpp, ocarina_actor_motion.frag).
  • On by default when ocarina_fsr is on (it only runs while FSR replaces the pass). EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER=0 turns it off. -1 negates the offset given to FSR, as a sign check (the image gets worse).
  • Texture LOD bias (vk_texture_cache.cpp): in Ocarina when the session's upscaler is FSR (not DLSS or native; resolved by ResolveOcarinaUpscaler, which the rasterizer and the sampler share), docked, mipmapped samplers get AMD's recommended mip bias log2(render / output) - 1 = -1.58 (1440p -> 4K). Handheld is unchanged by default (not measured). EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS=<bias> replaces the default, also handheld, and 0 turns it off.
  • Images the GPU wrote (bloom and blur chains, reflections, fog) don't get the bias: a sampler variant keeps the game's own bias when the sampled image is GPU-modified. Otherwise they read a mip too sharp.
  • The Ocarina FSR 3.1 evaluated log line shows jitter=(x,y).
  • If the upscaler fails during the session, the game's own pass runs again and every sampler drops the bias again (a failure flag the rasterizer sets; the sampler variant key checks it).
  • The bias and keep rules are small functions in ocarina_upscale.h, with unit checks in src/tests/video_core/ocarina_upscale.cpp.
  • docs/native-dlss-replacement.md describes the jitter and the bias. It used to say jitter is zero.

Measurements
Close-up save (Dodongo's Cavern, Link standing still, camera still), docked, resolution_setup=3 (1x), ocarina_fsr=true, RCAS off (fsr_sharpening_slider=200), 4K screenshots taken by the emulator every ~1.5 s over 900 frames. One run each, on this branch's build:

jitter off, no bias (EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER=0 EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS=0, = #695) defaults (jitter, -1.58)
FSR 3.1 evaluations logged (every 120th frame) 50, jitter=(0.000,0.000) 47, e.g. jitter=(0.188,-0.019), (0.375,0.056)
fallback frames 1 (loading) 1 (loading)
mean frame-to-frame difference, still rock (0-255 grey) 2.31 3.00
mean edge response, same rock 4.19 2.88
  • Edges: the 3x crops of the rock silhouette and the floor slabs lose their stair steps with jitter. Without it they show the 1440p pixel steps after the 4K upscale. This is the clearest effect.
  • No shake or doubled edges in the jittered 4K shots: the silhouette sits in the same place in every shot. No ghosting on Link while he idles (only his own animation moves).
  • Textures are a little softer with jitter. On FSR 3.1 the frame-to-frame difference on still rock went up (2.31 -> 3.00), so the converged image changes a bit more between shots. Navi's moving light is in these regions too, so part of this number is lighting. One run each, so not separated from run-to-run noise.
  • Cost: none measurable. Village still view, FSR 4, 120 fps cap (so the frame rate isn't capped), same binary, jitter on/off interleaved, two rounds: on 55.25 / 54.89 fps, off 55.06 / 55.23 (mean 55.07 vs 55.15, 0.1 %); 1 % lows mixed both ways (43.9 / 47.9 vs 47.2 / 43.5). Earlier single-run figures were run-to-run noise and are removed.

Earlier measurements with the same jitter and bias code through FSR 4 (the follow-up PR; our own branch, PGO build, same save and settings):

Follow-up after review (FSR 4 through #915 on our own branch, close-up save, no-PGO build, diagnostic counts from a separate build that adds occlusion queries, not part of this PR):

  • Link replay fragments that pass the depth check, per frame, of ~70,500 covered: jitter off 444; jitter on before this change 94; after 389. So the jitter was making the replay fail; with the offset it matches as without jitter.
  • Draws offset per frame on that save before this change included one with depth write on and test off: a single full-screen triangle into the 2560x1440 colour target. It isn't offset now. The other small depth-tested draws (4-vertex quads, one full-screen triangle with test Less and no write, probably the background) keep the offset.
  • Image: 4K shots every 0.5 s, mean high-pass change between consecutive shots, Link 3.77 before vs 3.74 after (jitter off 3.78); still rock 0.32 vs 0.33 (0.30). Link animates while idle, so these are dominated by his own motion; no difference beyond noise.
  • Village, one run each: 49.49 fps before, 49.17 after (run-to-run noise is about ±0.5).
  • This branch alone (FSR 3.1): built, one run on the close-up save, the log shows FSR 3.1 evaluations with jitter values (49 logged, every 120th frame), no fallback, no crash.

Why on by default: FSR is built for jittered input: AMD's integration guide treats camera jitter as required for upscaling, and without it FSR keeps the render resolution's aliasing (#695 notes this as a limit). Upstream users can't set environment variables easily. The edge improvement shows on both FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 with no shake. The bias is AMD's recommended value for the measured docked 1440p -> 4K case. Both switch off with EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER=0 / EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS=0.

Testing

Not verified / limits

  • Measured docked only (1440p -> 4K, with the built-in Max Resolution patch). The handheld 1:1 (native AA) and 3/4-scale passes get jitter with 8 or 14 phases. They weren't run, and handheld gets no bias by default.
  • The bias is set when a sampler is created. Switching docked/handheld during play keeps the old bias for samplers that already exist.
  • Not run on NVIDIA. DLSS (vulkan: NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution for Ocarina of Time (imports #456 by @Rengundom) #606 path) gets neither jitter nor the bias.
  • Motion vectors are as in Ocarina of Time: AMD FSR 3.1 in place of the game's anti-aliasing network #695: camera everywhere, plus Link's main skinned mesh. Other animated things (NPCs, grass) get camera motion only, so jitter doesn't change how they ghost.
  • On the close-up save, Ocarina of Time: AMD FSR 3.1 in place of the game's anti-aliasing network #695's Link replay passes its depth check on only ~0.6 % of its fragments even without jitter (467 at a 256 ULP tolerance, 935 at 4096; everything only at 65536, where hidden fragments pass too). So there Link mostly gets camera motion. That predates this PR and isn't changed here.
  • Not tested with EDEN_NX2_FAST_DRAW=1. Its delta path still runs the dynamic-state block where the jitter is set.

Test system: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB (RADV, Mesa 26.2.6), AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D, Bazzite (Fedora 45 base, kernel 7.2.15), local clang build without PGO. Ocarina of Time 0400486024DEC000, docked 1x (Max Resolution patch), GPU accuracy Low, scripted headless routes.

With the built-in Max Resolution add-on, handheld renders the scene at 1920x1080 and runs output pass c033c3ddc9f0897b at 1:1 (same E5B9G9R9 -> B10G11R11 contract as zortos293#606's e40f5efb5480e692) instead of the 3/4-scale pass, so the owner's setup never reached the replacement. FSR now runs there as native AA (1920x1080 -> 1920x1080). DLSS keeps the native pass there (DLAA through it is untested).

…SR 3.1

Ocarina renders without camera jitter, so FSR saw the same sample positions every frame and
couldn't resolve sub-pixel detail (stair steps on edges, shimmer on thin geometry). While FSR
replaced the previous frame's upscale, the viewport of every draw that tests or writes the scene
depth at the scene size is offset by a Halton (2,3) sub-pixel amount (AMD's phase count for the
scale: 18 for 1440p -> 4K, 8 for native AA), and the offset goes to FSR as the frame's jitter.
A frame the game upscales itself isn't offset, so it doesn't shake. On by default with
ocarina_fsr; EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER=0 turns it off, -1 negates the offset given to FSR (sign check).

…ritten images

FSR renders below the output size, so textures picked the render size's mips. AMD recommends a
mip bias of log2(render / output) - 1: -1.58 for docked 1440p -> 4K, added to mipmapped
samplers in Ocarina while ocarina_fsr is on (docked; EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS=<bias> replaces it,
0 turns it off). Images the GPU wrote (bloom and blur chains, reflections, fog) keep the game's
own bias through a sampler variant, or they'd read a mip too sharp.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Active directly linked issue #695 is the only linked target. Its coding requirements are present at the reviewed head. The PR retains opt-in ocarina_fsr behavior with a default of false, backend selection with DLSS precedence and FSR fallback, recognized output passes including 1:1 output, Ocarina LDR FSR configuration, RCAS sharpening, fallback to the game pass, and unit coverage in src/tests/video_core/ocarina_upscale.cpp. The new jitter and LOD bias apply to the FSR path and address the no-jitter and softer-texture limits described by #695. The jitter uses depth-tested scene draws and the actor replay uses matching viewport jitter with unjittered motion. The LOD bias is backend-gated, excludes GPU-written images, and is removed after FSR failure.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

No unrelated change is demonstrated. The jitter, FSR texture LOD bias, failure handling, tests, and documentation support #695's Ocarina FSR path. The FSR RCAS limiter is explicitly part of #695. The DLSS-side effect-mask changes and related shader changes are part of the inherited #695 implementation or its optional dependency for the Ocarina effects capture. Changes outside the FSR path remain backend-gated or preserve fallback behavior.

- Around line 68-71: Update the jitter explanation in the native DLSS
replacement documentation to accurately describe the FSR path: scene-depth draws
receive the Halton offset passed to FSR, while motion remains based on
unjittered matrices and DLSS receives no jitter. Document the jitter and
LOD-bias controls, their defaults and behavior, including the docked-only bias
scope and GPU-written-image exception; clarify which draws are not jittered, and
smooth the awkward wording about frames the game upscales itself.

Review comments at @src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_texture_cache.cpp:
- Around line 4702-4707: Gate the Ocarina sampler LOD bias on the resolved
rendering backend being FSR, rather than the requested
`Settings::values.ocarina_fsr` setting, so unsupported FSR, native override, and
DLSS precedence do not apply it, while DLSS fallback to FSR does. Share the
resolved backend with sampler setup and ensure cached samplers are refreshed
when it changes. Preserve `EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS` as the bias override and
retain the game’s bias for GPU-written images.

…and bias

The bias followed the ocarina_fsr setting, so it also applied when DLSS took precedence or FSR
was unsupported or overridden. The session's backend now comes from one function the
rasterizer and the sampler share (ResolveOcarinaUpscaler). The FSR notes describe the jitter
and the bias instead of "jitter is zero".

After a Vulkan error turns Ocarina's temporal upscaler off, the game's own pass runs again, but
samplers kept the -1.58 bias. The texture cache runtime now resolves the bias once per session
and has a failure flag the rasterizer sets; the sampler variant key then drops the bias for
every image, as it already did for GPU-written ones. The bias and keep rules are small
functions in ocarina_upscale.h with unit checks.

I tried this with FSR4, it helped a lot with jagged edges! Thanks! I also had to account for jitter in the camera/Link motion vectors, and skip fullscreen passes where depth testing was off but the depth-write flag was still set. Might be useful to apply here too 👍

… only depth-tested draws

The motion replay of Link's skinned draw keeps a fragment only where its
depth matches the scene depth. The scene is drawn with the jitter offset
and the replay was not, so on a close-up save the jitter cut the
fragments that pass the check from ~440 to ~90 per frame. The replay now
draws with the same viewport offset (~390 again) and takes the jitter out
of its motion, since FSR is told the motion vectors carry none. Camera
motion already came from the unjittered matrices.

A draw with depth writes on but the depth test off writes no depth
(Vulkan disables writes with the test). On that save one such draw per
frame, a full-screen triangle into the scene colour target, was offset.
Only depth-tested draws are offset now.

@ollieatkinson thanks, both points applied in 9adc637:

  • Motion vectors: the camera motion here is built from the unjittered matrices and FSR is created without the jitter-cancellation flag, so that part had no jitter in it. Ocarina of Time: AMD FSR 3.1 in place of the game's anti-aliasing network #695's replay of Link's skinned draw did interact with it, though: it keeps a fragment only where its depth matches the scene depth, and the scene was jittered while the replay wasn't. It now draws with the same viewport offset and takes the jitter out of its motion. Fragments passing the check per frame on a close-up save: 444 with jitter off, 94 with jitter before the change, 389 after.
  • Draw filter: now depth test on only. On that save one full-screen triangle per frame had depth write on with the test off and was being offset; it isn't now.

Measured with FSR 4: no visible change in 4K shots (frame-to-frame high-pass change on Link 3.77 before vs 3.74 after, within noise), and village 49.49 vs 49.17 fps, one run each (noise about ±0.5). Details in the description.

Thanks @the-cashman, and @ollieatkinson for the test. Your five commits, including 9adc637f42, are in #1061, stacked on #695's port (#1060). One extra commit removes EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER and EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS: experiment switches don't merge to nx2, so the jitter and AMD's -1.58 docked bias are just what FSR runs with. Leaving this open until the maintainer picks which one to merge.

…itches (port of #914) (#1061)

* vulkan: sub-pixel camera jitter for Ocarina's scene draws, given to FSR 3.1

Ocarina renders without camera jitter, so FSR saw the same sample positions every frame and
couldn't resolve sub-pixel detail (stair steps on edges, shimmer on thin geometry). While FSR
replaced the previous frame's upscale, the viewport of every draw that tests or writes the scene
depth at the scene size is offset by a Halton (2,3) sub-pixel amount (AMD's phase count for the
scale: 18 for 1440p -> 4K, 8 for native AA), and the offset goes to FSR as the frame's jitter.
A frame the game upscales itself isn't offset, so it doesn't shake. On by default with
ocarina_fsr; EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER=0 turns it off, -1 negates the offset given to FSR (sign check).

* vulkan: texture LOD bias for Ocarina while FSR upscales, not on GPU-written images

FSR renders below the output size, so textures picked the render size's mips. AMD recommends a
mip bias of log2(render / output) - 1: -1.58 for docked 1440p -> 4K, added to mipmapped
samplers in Ocarina while ocarina_fsr is on (docked; EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS=<bias> replaces it,
0 turns it off). Images the GPU wrote (bloom and blur chains, reflections, fog) keep the game's
own bias through a sampler variant, or they'd read a mip too sharp.

(cherry picked from commit 4117b0b)

* vulkan: Ocarina LOD bias only with the FSR upscaler; document jitter and bias

The bias followed the ocarina_fsr setting, so it also applied when DLSS took precedence or FSR
was unsupported or overridden. The session's backend now comes from one function the
rasterizer and the sampler share (ResolveOcarinaUpscaler). The FSR notes describe the jitter
and the bias instead of "jitter is zero".

* vulkan: Ocarina FSR jitter and LOD bias without experiment switches

Drops EDEN_NX2_OOT_JITTER and EDEN_NX2_OOT_LOD_BIAS from #914: the jitter and AMD's
recommended LOD bias are what FSR runs with, and experiment switches don't merge to nx2.

* vulkan: Ocarina camera motion from the unjittered depth position; LOD bias follows console mode

The camera motion pass reconstructed each depth sample at the pixel centre, but with the
jitter the scene drew that sample at the centre minus the jitter. It now gets the frame's
jitter and reconstructs from the unjittered position, as the Link replay already does.

The docked-only LOD bias was resolved once per session, so docking or undocking in-session
kept the starting mode's bias. FSR samplers now always build the biased variant and pick
it at each bind only while docked.
