AMD Expands FSR 4.1 Upscaling to RX 7000 Series GPUs

AMD expanded the availability of its FSR 4.1 machine-learning upscaler to include RX 7000 series graphics cards, a feature previously exclusive to RDNA 4 hardware. While the update brings the technology to older cards, RDNA 3 hardware utilizes an INT8 version of the model instead of the FP8 model used by RDNA 4, which some reviewers report results in a performance hit.

The company plans to extend this expansion to RX 6000 owners next year and is currently developing lighter models specifically for RDNA 3 APUs.

This rollout contrasts with the segmented strategy employed by Nvidia. Nvidia continues to limit high-end DLSS features, such as neural rendering and Multi-Frame Generation, to the RTX 50 series, while restricting frame generation to the RTX 40 and 50 series cards.
