AMD is officially launching FSR Upscaling 4.1 for Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs today. The update means that computers with those older graphics cards, which use the RDNA 3 graphics architecture, will be able to see improvements like better image quality and smoother gameplay in their games.
AMD had promised in May that it would be bringing support for FSR 4.1 to the RX 7000 series GPUs — though at the time, it said that support would arrive in July, so AMD is a little ahead of schedule. AMD is also planning to bring FSR 4.1 to RDNA 3 APUs; AMD’s Jack Huynh says that the company is “developing lightweight machine learning models to bring FSR 4.1 to even more devices.” The company is also set to bring FSR 4.1 to RDNA 2 cards at some point in early 2027.
FSR 4.1 is already available in more than 300 games, according to Huynh. And more are on the way: alongside today’s news, AMD announced that FSR 4.1 will be supported in Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations, which launches on July 7th, and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which releases on July 9th.
