Boost your frame rates with the latest AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution news, FSR 4.1 ML updates, and cross-platform comparisons.
Nvidia DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS have all become very confusing, and it can be hard to make head or tail of all the various different technologies bundled into these suites. As a general rule, the purpose of DLSS, FSR, and XeSS is to improve performance in your games, particularly when you enable demanding graphical features such as ray tracing. All of them offer a way to upscale resolution, for example, where a game will keep all the text, menus, and HUD at your chosen resolution, but render all the 3D graphics at a lower resolution to speed up frame rates, then use some form of upscaling
Best GPU 2026: Nvidia and AMD graphics cards tested | Club386… The company said that FSR 4.1 on RDNA 2 required a great deal of optimisation to make it work efficiently. This explains why AMD doesn’t plan to ship FSR 4.1 on RDNA 2 GPUs until 2027, unlike RDNA 3 GPUs, which are set to receive it in July 2026. …
AMD News AMD finally brings FSR 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July, with RDNA 2 to follow in 2027 Support for FP8 hardware acceleration is no longer a requirement for FSR 4.1, as AMD has optimised the model to run on INT8 hardware too. …
AMD News AMD FSR multi-frame generation is coming soon, hints SDK entry MFG support looks like it's on the way for Radeon hardware, though it’s unclear whether AMD will offer it on older GPUs or limit its reach to RDNA 4, as with FSR 4. …
… In games, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus delivered an average 91fps in Counter Strike 2 at 1080p Low with FSR Balanced, 60fps in Genshin Impact at 1080p Low with FSR 0.8x, 30fps in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p Original with FSR Ultra Quality, and 34fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p Low. …
… AMD’s first-gen RDNA GPUs, the Radeon RX 5000 series, had no ray tracing hardware at all, and while its later RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 GPUs rectified this shortfall, they still fell behind the Nvidia competition. …
… FSR 4 For the moment, FSR 4 remains exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs such as the Navi 48 die at the heart of the RX 9070 GRE. …
… It’s the fastest GPU based on AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture, and its AI cores enable it to run AMD FSR Redstone features based on machine learning, including AMD’s acclaimed FSR 4 upscaling tech. …
… FSR goes some way to plugging this shortfall by reducing rendering resolution, but the tech isn’t a silver bullet. …
