AMD's FSR 4 "Redstone" upscaling and frame generation suite debuted as an exclusive feature for the company's latest generation Radeon 9000 (RDNA 4) graphics cards - despite a leaked build that clearly worked with older models using the less capable INT8 instruction set, as our testing in the video embed above shows.

Now, AMD has announced that FSR 4.1 is coming to older Radeon 7000 (RDNA 3) and 6000 series (RDNA 2) cards too, with a phased roll-out that suggests specific architectural optimisations are being made - ideally to shore up performance which could be a bit ropey on the earlier generation cards.

It's a smart move, as it lets users of older GPUs access to the significantly better upscaling tech in the newer models, while still giving a premium experience to those on the latest generation. FSR 4 was developed alongside Sony, so it offers much of the same advantages as the latest generation PSSR 2.

As AMD SVP of graphics Jack Huynh's tweet above states, the Radeon 7000 implementation arrives in July, while Radeon 6000 support is scheduled for a vague 2027 launch.

The first FSR 4.1 titles include Forza Horizon 6, Death Stranding 2 and Crimson Desert, with the new version offering improvements to fine detail for objects in motion and upgraded denoising for RT. 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.
