AMD FSR Redstone arrives December 10 with a teaser

AMD have gone and done it. They've put up a teaser for an announcement of AMD FSR Redstone arriving on December 10. Marketing - you gotta love it right? A 26 second video that tells us nothing at all, only that FSR Redstone is "premiering on December 10th".

Officially, only Radeon RX 9000 will be supported, so a lot of GPU owners are going to miss out unless they upgrade. Well, FSR4 can be made to work on earlier models (even the Steam Deck), but it's not completely clear exactly what Redstone will hook into so it may just be out of reach for older generations.

According to AMD's own information, FSR Redstone key highlights include:

FSR "Redstone" is a suite of ML-powered gaming technologies, delivering smoother performance and sharper visuals on the latest on AMD RDNA™ 4 GPUs – coming soon.

• FSR Upscaling: (Formerly AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution) Reconstructs crisp, high-quality visuals from low-resolution frames. 
• FSR Frame Generation: Predicts and inserts new frames between rendered ones, delivering smoother and higher frame rate gaming.
• FSR Ray Regeneration: Infers and restores full-quality ray-traced detail from sparse samples, delivering sharp, noise-free visuals with reduced rendering cost. 
• FSR Radiance Caching: Dynamically learns and then predicts how light propagates through a scene, delivering efficient real-time global illumination. 

I do wonder how long it will be before Proton supports it. We only just had VKD3D-Proton 3.0 released which finally has FSR4 support - so it may be a little while. As always, GamingOnLinux will let you know when we know without any clickbait on it.
