AMD's FSR 4.1 Update Extends to Older GPUs with Steam Machine and Xbox

AMD has announced that owners of RDNA 3 GPUs can now enjoy the benefits offered by its latest version of AI-powered upscaling, FSR 4.1.

AMD has made its FSR Upscaling 4.1 available earlier than expected for RDNA 3 GPUs, with plans to expand support to more devices in the future. This technology is comparable to Nvidia's DLSS in terms of performance and quality, and it is the same technology used in the PlayStation 5 Pro's PSSR 2. The upscaling suite, initially exclusive to the RX 9070 and 9070 XT, will now be accessible to a wider range of RDNA 3 GPUs like the 7800XT and XTX. Users will require the latest AMD Adrenalin software to utilize this feature.

Furthermore, devices with RDNA 3.5 APUs, including Valve's Steam Machine and the Xbox ROG Ally X, are in line to receive FSR 4.1 support. AMD is developing specialized AI models to optimize performance for these devices with lower memory bandwidth. The company has also committed to bringing FSR 4.1 to older RDNA 2 cards by 2027, excluding the Steam Deck from Valve, which could have greatly benefited from this technology.
