AMD FSR 4 AI Upscaling Now Live in Most FSR 3.1 Games
▼ Summary
– AMD has released a new driver enabling FSR 4 AI upscaling and frame-generation for most games that support FSR 3.1 with DirectX 12.
– FSR 4, AMD’s competitor to Nvidia’s DLSS 4, uses machine learning to enhance low-resolution rendering for high performance and crisp visuals.
– The technology was first launched in March alongside AMD’s RX 9000-series graphics cards but has taken time to become widely available.
– The new driver officially supports FSR 4 in over 85 titles and allows forcing it on FSR 3.1 games via a toggle in the AMD Software app.
– FSR 4 has been gradually added to games since its release, including titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima, and F1 25.
AMD’s latest driver release marks a significant expansion for its upscaling technology, bringing FSR 4 AI upscaling and frame-generation support to a wide range of DirectX 12 titles that already utilize FSR 3.1. This development fulfills a long-awaited promise from the company, which initially introduced FSR 4 alongside its RX 9000-series graphics cards earlier this year.
The new 25.9.1 driver enables FSR 4 functionality across more than 85 officially supported games. For titles running FSR 3.1, users can manually activate the newer version through a simple toggle within the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition application. This override feature allows the driver to replace the existing FSR 3.1 implementation with the enhanced capabilities of FSR 4.
Positioned as a direct competitor to Nvidia’s DLSS 4, AMD describes FSR 4 as a substantial advancement over its predecessor. The technology employs machine learning algorithms to predict and reconstruct missing pixels during low-resolution rendering, delivering performance improvements while maintaining visual quality comparable to native resolution gaming.
Since its initial rollout, FSR 4 support has gradually expanded to include major titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima, and F1 25. The broader compatibility now available through the latest driver update represents a major step in AMD’s ongoing effort to make advanced upscaling accessible across a wider spectrum of gaming experiences.
