AMD FSR 4 Now Available in 85+ DX12 Games with Driver 25.9.1

▼ Summary

– AMD’s Adrenalin Driver 25.9.1 enables FSR 4 support in over 85 games that already support FSR 3.1 with DirectX 12.
– This update eliminates the need for third-party tools like DLSS Swapper to enable FSR 4 in compatible games.
– FSR 4 offers superior visual quality compared to FSR 3.1, even at performance or balanced modes.
– The driver also includes fixes for various game crashes and optimizations, such as resolving issues in Mafia: The Old Country and WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers.
– Vulkan titles still do not support FSR 4, and RDNA 4 GPUs remain a requirement unless using a Linux workaround for RDNA 3.

Gamers seeking a significant visual upgrade now have a powerful new tool at their disposal. AMD’s latest Adrenalin Driver 25.9.1 enables FSR 4 support in more than 85 DirectX 12 games that already feature FSR 3.1, eliminating the need for third-party upscaler swapping tools in many cases. This driver release simplifies access to enhanced image quality and performance for a wide range of titles.

The update means that if a game natively supports FSR 3.1, it can now leverage the improved FSR 4 upscaling technology directly through official driver-level integration. New additions to the supported roster include high-profile releases like Borderlands 4 and Hell Is Us, joining an extensive library of compatible games. This expansion is made possible thanks to streamlined compatibility between FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 within DX12 environments.

Previously, enabling FSR 4 often required workarounds such as DLL file swaps using utilities like DLSS Swapper or Optiscaler. While those methods remain an option for some users, the new driver provides a more seamless and officially supported pathway. It’s important to note that RDNA 4 GPUs are still required for full native support on Windows systems, though Linux users with RDNA 3 hardware may find alternative methods available.

Beyond broadening FSR 4 accessibility, the driver introduces a host of stability improvements and optimizations. Visual corruption issues in Mafia: The Old Country on certain Radeon RX 6600 series cards have been resolved. Crashes or driver timeouts in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers when using FSR 4 on RX 9000 series GPUs are also addressed. Additional fixes include better detection of PlayStation VR controllers in SteamVR and improved reliability when recording Monster Hunter Wilds with ray tracing enabled on select Radeon RX 7000 series models.

While Vulkan titles are not yet part of this update, the expanded DX12 support marks a substantial step forward for AMD’s upscaling ecosystem. Gamers can expect sharper image quality and smoother performance across a growing number of supported games, all without relying on unofficial modifications.
