AMD FSR 4.1 expands to older GPUs and consoles

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AMD has released FSR 4.1, an upscaling technology that now supports older hardware including Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs, Xbox Series X and S consoles, and specific Ryzen AI chips. This update enhances image quality by leveraging INT8 shader hardware, offering a slight performance cost of approximately 13% in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077. Additionally, FSR 4.1 improves frame pacing for better gameplay smoothness and introduces support for the Vulkan API and FSR Ray Regeneration in more titles. AI

IMPACT Extends AI-powered upscaling to a wider range of gaming hardware, potentially improving performance and visual fidelity for more users.
