PayPalAMD 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.

This would be a lot cooler if they would support RDNA3. It's annoying that I bought a 7900 XTX and I miss out on features that my card could handle, even when it is still the strongest AMD card on the market.

all hail the fake frames?
I have never and will never use any form of frame generation or upscaling. If I wanted to play my games on a 480p monitor, I would have bought a 480p monitor and a 3dfx voodoo gfx card from 1998.

Agreed.

Frame generation is OK for slower moving games where input lag isn't critical.

HYPED! Oh wait, no, I'm not. One more reason to refund a game I guess.

I have bad news for you. Every frame is generated, everything you see in games is fake and an approximations of reality (at best). Ad hoc upscaling has existed for a long time, and so has interpolation of low-frequency operations between frames.
The line between FSR and whatever game devs do or did before it existed is very blurry.

Someone, somewhere, press the "oopsie" button that allows far more clever people than me to add support to older GPU generations (and the future Steam Machine) pretty please!

I make frequent use of AFMF on Windows to play FF7 Rebirth at 4K 120fps. It looks fantastic and I rarely ever see any ghosting blurs. It simply defaults to on at the driver level, and ar first I was disabling it because who needs it, but if my games are already getting 90fps+ (and they are), then why not take the extra fps offered if I can't even see the potential artifacts introduced by it?
It is a shame my 7900GRE won't benefit from Redstone but I've heard our 7900 line doesn't have the correct cores to process these new features. It's a bit like gtx1080 to rtx2080, the GTX line simply lacks the hardware feature set to support DLSS.
Is AFMF present on the Linux side?
Tangential: I wish Valve would just buy out Lossless Scaling and then bake it into Steam Deck as an easy add-on like they do with FSR1.

I am honestly not happy with AMD.
I own a 7900xtx and this news that FSR4 does not support 7000 series cards and the lack of HDMI 2.1 support is just yet another slap in the face. This is a great gaming card but the lack of support from AMD is beginning frustrate me.
It is such a shame because I really enjoy my gaming experience with this GPU but the lack of HDMI 2.1 support and now this has forced me to re evaluate whether I should go back to using a NVIDIA card.

For the ones commenting on the lack of HDMI 2.1, AMD isn't allowed to implement the standard in their open source kernel driver.
That said, my 7800XT does 4K@120Hz just fine, connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. VRR (FreeSync Premium) works as well, and is active according to the TV. Don't know about HDR as this machine is still on X11.

I personally like using FSR in Performance mode, particularly in games like Cyberpunk 2077, The Outer Worlds 2 and Oblivion: Remastered. It's particularly important in those latter two games, due to their use of UE5.

It works in 4:2:0 (chroma subsampling) but not 4:4:4 (PC mode), which is a dealbreaker for productivity. It's fine for games as the impact of chroma subsampling is generally not noticeable outside of small text (like scoreboards).
