… The ultra performance mode is also a bit more performant, which is ideal for targeting higher-than-4K resolutions. We'll of course be testing FSR 4.1 on multiple graphics card generations as it arrives, so stay tuned.
… That means FSR 4.0.3 for Radeon 9000-series GPUs, DLSS 4.5 for Nvidia graphics card users, plus FSR 3.1.5 and XeSS 3.0 as universal solutions. …
… On Steam Machine, effectively using a cut-back RX 7600, the cost of FSR 4.1 in its performance mode is generally slightly faster or slower than FSR 3 in quality mode. However, here's the thing: the quality of FSR 4.1 in performance mode can easily outstrip the efforts of FSR 3 even in quality mode. …
… To run this with the extreme graphics preset at 4K 60fps, the developers recommend a Ryzen 7 5700X3D or Core i7 12700K CPU and an RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card - quite robust specifications, but slightly below the "RT Extreme" preset for Assassin's Creed Shadows , which suggested a n… …

… As well as graphics drivers, improvements to the Proton compatibility layer could also improve performance in a range of areas - though some games already run faster on Linux than they do natively on Windows. …
… On an RTX 5080 at 4K performance mode, enabling ray reconstruction gives a 14 percent performance drop. It's the same issue on AMD - if not more so. The RX 9070 XT sees a 24 percent frame-rate hit compared to the standard denoiser when paired with FSR 4 upscaling. …
… This is a very important part of the performance puzzle, along with the FSR 4 boosts to come ." Griffais went on to say that while 4K 120Hz is the current limit over HDMI, relying on compression, 4K 144Hz uncompressed and 4K 240Hz with Display Stream Compression will also be possible over HDMI 2.1 … …
… This technology appears to have a codename - FSR Diamond - outed by AMD's Jack Huynh in this tweet sorry, "post" . Effectively, it's an admission that the future of graphics is no longer about scaling shader cores in line with the capabilities of silicon production nodes. …
