They sure took their sweet time didn't they. AMD have officially announced that FSR Upscaling 4.1 is officially coming to their older GPUs. We had a bunch of accidental source code leaks from AMD previously, so people have been able to quite easily hack away at getting FSR4 support on older cards anyway but it's good to see this now coming into official support.
We have this news direct from Jack Huynh, the SVP & GM, Computing & Graphics AMD, who posted on X:
As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games.
My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards.
We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide. It’s a responsibility we care deeply about.
🎮 This July, RDNA 3 players will experience FSR Upscaling 4.1, delivering sharper visuals and smoother gameplay than ever before.
I’m grateful to our fans. Your enthusiasm and ideas inspire us to keep pushing gaming forward.
FSR Upscaling 4.1 on RDNA 3 will be ready out of the box for Radeon 7000 Series players in over 300 supported games at launch.
And for our RDNA 2 players, we have something exciting coming in early 2027. FSR Upscaling 4.1 will be coming to your cards as well, bringing sharper visuals and smoother gameplay to even more gamers.
We cannot wait to show you what is next. Stay tuned 🚀
It's not entirely clear how this will affect their open source Mesa drivers on Linux, presumably this now gives the Mesa developers and Proton developers the green light to just officially enable support by default. Hopefully then in a future Mesa release.
This could potentially then mean we'll see it on the Steam Deck and Steam Machine too.
Nice to see AMD actually giving gamers what they want.
Quoting: slayerthechickenis this still the bad timeline just with sprinkles of hope?Nope, this is still the timeline of despair. But now we have better visuals to go along with it. :D
