It appears like avid gamers received’t have to attend too lengthy for AMD FSR 4 to hit their favourite video games, so long as the sport already helps FSR 3.1. That’s in response to a leaker who means that FSR4 ought to “simply work” with previously-supported FSR 3.1 video games. It appears prefer it’s all all the way down to how AMD is ready to combine the help routinely, with out developer help.
If this method works as steered, AMD will be capable of rapidly add help for its new and improved AI decision upscaling know-how, supported by the very best graphics playing cards made by the corporate in a variety of video games. That is excellent news for avid gamers, offering a path for graphics upgrades that doesn’t depend on the time and goodwill of busy sport builders.
Famend business leaker Kepler_L2 made the assertion in a thread on X (previously Twitter) thread. Talking with Videocardz, Kepler talked about that the brand new driver for RDNA 4 playing cards, similar to the brand new AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, consists of alternative DLL information that swap out FSR 3.1 for FSR 4.
When requested if this meant that every one FSR 3.1 video games will help FSR4 on “day one” of launch, Kepler confirmed, saying that “it ought to simply work.” That is considerably supported by a slide, launched by AMD through the FSR 4 announcement at CES, which steered that the brand new AI tech improve would solely be out there “for supported video games with AMD FSR 3.1 already built-in.” Video games that don’t already help FSR will nonetheless want builders so as to add help, nevertheless.
By making it a lot simpler to improve the standard of FSR, AMD doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel with every new iteration. Nonetheless, you’ll need to choose up a brand new RDNA 4 card, such because the AMD Radeon RX 9070, if you wish to use it. If you happen to’re planning on buying AMD’s new flagship, the feedback by Kepler recommend that FSR 4 help will probably be out there instantly on launch.
Throughout our personal FSR 4 hands-on at CES earlier this month, we noticed a giant distinction in high quality within the new AI upscaling know-how in comparison with AMD’s earlier efforts, with a sharper picture and far much less noise. Nonetheless, the demo didn’t showcase body technology, so this wasn’t a function we might take a look at on the time.
It’s hotting as much as a extra aggressive battle for the mid-ground GPU market than anticipated. If you wish to see what the brand new AMD GPUs are going to be up in opposition to, our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 information explains how Nvidia is planning to enter the mid-range graphics card enviornment in 2025. You can too take a look at our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 evaluation for our first real-world testing of this subsequent technology.
