Users are already seeing huge gains with the latest AMD upscaler on older-generation graphics cards. Radeon RX 7900 XTX Reportedly Hits 2X Frame Rates With AMD FSR 4.1 in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K RT Ultra As you might know, AMD's FSR 4.1 support for the RX 7000 series dropped two days ago, and users have already started seeing huge gains in games. It's well-known that FSR 4 is more demanding than FSR 3.1, but even on the Balanced preset, games usually see much better visual fidelity than FSR 3.1 Quality. This is exactly what we are seeing in benchmarks reported […]

AMD has officially released FSR 4.1 upscaling for Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, expanding the technology to RDNA 3 hardware. Announced by Jack Huynh, the update rolls out via the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver.

According to TechPowerUp, the underlying architecture of this RDNA 3 version of FSR 4.1 differs from the RDNA 4 version. Current-gen GPUs feature native processing for 8-bit floating-point data, but RDNA 3 hardware uses INT8 data types and doesn't support FP8. AMD had to convert the model to 8-bit integer data. According to the company, the final image fidelity remains on par with that of RDNA4 hardware.

AMD's also working on optimisations for RDNA3-based APUs. Since integrated graphics aren't as powerful as discrete cards, the firm is fine-tuning lightweight machine learning models to help these chips run FSR 4.1 efficiently. We don't have official confirmation of RDNA3.5 support just yet, but a recent leak (spotted by Reddit user AthleteDependent926) from Valve showed the INT8-based model running on RDNA3.5 without issues, so future updates are expected to cover those solutions as well.

KitGuru says: Bringing FSR 4.1 to RDNA3 users via an INT8 conversion is a great move by AMD, ensuring older hardware isn't left behind when it comes to upscaling.

Microsoft Advanced Shader Delivery technology support has now landed on more AMD Radeon GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture. Lower Load Times & Less Stutters Made Possible On AMD Radeon RX 7000, RX 8000, RX 9000 GPUs With Microsoft's Expanded Advanced Shader Delivery Tech Support Last year, Microsoft announced its DirectX "Advanced Shader Delivery" technology, which is meant to deliver precompiled shaders when supported games are being downloaded. With precompiled shaders, users do not have to wait extra time for shaders to compile, leading to faster load times, and when playing games, you will also benefit from less stuttering. […]

Finally, AMD is doing what millions were waiting for. If FSR 4.1 lands on previous-gen GPUs, millions of gamers can have superior visuals without sacrificing performance. AMD Announces FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.1 for RX 7000 and RX 6000 GPUs; To Support Over 300 Games At Launch While AMD launched FSR 4.1 in March, it kept quiet about bringing it to the older-gen hardware. AMD has received criticism due to being silent on bringing FSR 4.0/4.1 to the RDNA 3 and RDNA 2 hardware, despite the fact that NVIDIA has been bringing its latest DLSS technology to the older-gen cards. Looks […]

AMD launched FSR 4 a while back and it has already produced some noticeably better results in newer titles on RX 9000 series graphics cards. Now, AMD is also bringing its latest FSR 4.1 Upscaler to older RDNA 3 and RDNA 2-based GPUs. 

The new FSR 4.1 upscaler is an upgrade over its predecessors thanks to the inclusion of ML-based upscaling. Like DLSS, this latest version of FSR uses AI machine learning to produce better final results.

RDNA 3 graphics cards, like the RX 7000 series of desktop GPUs, will get support for FSR 4.1 starting in July. Then in 2027, AMD also plans to bring the technology to RDNA 2 graphics cards as well.

While not confirmed yet, this theoretically means that other RDNA 3 or RDNA 2 powered GPUs, like the ones found in current-gen consoles and devices like the Steam Machine, could also see support for FSR 4 eventually.

KitGuru Says: With FSR 4.1 upscaling becoming available to a much wider userbase, we should see adoption grow too. 

Many newer and older-gen AMD GPUs are now selling below MSRP due to lower demand, forcing sellers to sell them at a loss.

AMD's restriction on FSR 4 on previous-gen Radeon GPUs remains a secret, but the former FSR 4 head of development seems to have an answer. AMD's EX FSR Head of Development Puts Up "Big Trouble" Meme After Being Questioned on AMD's Silence on INT8 FSR 4 Version for RDNA 2/3 GPUs It has been over a year since FSR 4 made its debut alongside the launch of AMD RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9000.

Well, it looks like the Optiscaler team has done it again. Seems like every time I finish writing an article about a new Optiscaler feature, they push out a brand new release with even more functionality. Maybe it's personal, and they want to keep me shackled to my desk for eternity, pumping out article after article about their excellent mod. Or maybe this is a form of protest against AMD's continuous refusal to meet the demands of the community and officially release INT8 FSR4? Regardless, as long as they keep on pumping out brilliant new updates, I'll be here to […]
