The FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) is officially here, or at least, the slides suggest it is ready. The FSR 4 technology is a machine-learning-powered upscaling solution developed for AMD’s RDNA4 architecture. It focuses on 4K upscaling and is designed to work with Frame Generation and Anti-Lag 2.

The announcement of AMD’s FSR 4 comes just as NVIDIA prepares to unveil DLSS 4 during the RTX 50 showcase later today. NVIDIA has yet to confirm whether its technology will support older hardware.

According to AMD, RDNA4 architecture offers:​

  • Optimized Compute Units
  • Enhanced AI Compute capabilities (2nd-generation AI accelerators)
  • Improved Raytracing performance per Compute Unit (3rd-generation Raytracing accelerators)
  • Better media encoding quality (2nd-generation AMD Radiance Display Engine)
  • 4nm manufacturing process

AMD Reference and custom designs:​

Great news, expected, but still.

Wonder how it'll compare to PSSR, wouldn't be surprised if it's pretty much the same, with the same strenghts and the same flaws, we'll find out in a few hours, would be cool if they are able to showcase some RT/PT on their presentation, the more competition the better

It's an advertisement and not necessarily an announce, but we'll see. It's likely that AMD will adopt the format that Intel uses with XESS. There is a model that runs on any GPU and there is a better model that works exclusively on Intel GPUs.

ps: why create a new thread, if there is already an AMD rumors thread?

for RDNA4, FSR4 have exclusive kernel, for rest another path

Not fast enough to do a DLSS equivalent?
We will see in future, if you remember AFMF was exclusive for RDNA3, then they add for rest cards

Really interested in seeing what these new AMD cards can do with regard to RT and PT. I'm also hoping they aren't stupid expensive like the 5000 series leaks seem to indicate.

If it's like XeSS it will be worse quality. But yeah, even with worse quality XeSS looks better than current FSR.

Likely it's just a new DLL which introduces FSR4. They made it upgradable just like DLSS with FSR 3.1. So the older GPUs use FSR 3.1 and the newer ones use FSR 4 and it's all invisible to the game because the engine inputs are the same. If they are really smart they make it so you can rename their DLL to nvngx_dlss.dll and use it using DLSS inputs.

AMD didn’t announce the price so they can wait and see what Nvidia will announce today and then go 100$ below what is directly competing with their card . Same typical move every time.

Also lol at FSR4 not working with 7000 series. They announce FSR4 been in development for more than 1 year few months back and don’t want to enable it for the 7000 series… talk about a shitty move not even Nvidia did pull.

Let’s hope it’s as good as DLSS2 because I am quite sure they are going to be murdered against DLSS4

DLSS is the only thing stopping me going AMD. Improved raytracing would be nice but I can't live without DLSS and it doesn't help it's giving developers an excuse to be lazy and not optimise their games.

If AMD can release a reasonably priced card to match a 5080, with good FSR, and at least 20GB VRAM then I'll buy it.

PSSR seems to be more XeSS than FSR

Damn. This is making me doubt. I was for a Mac Mini but just upgrade my GPU could be a good move as well.

The Mac mini is an amazing machine but certainly not for gaming? I’ve got one and while the efficiency is unmatched, there are very few games available so I end up using cloud
 
If the cards will be somewhere in the 315-320 length range with low loise and a good price performance maybe I'm upgrading from my 5700XT. Less than five hours.

Please be good. I can’t upgrade to the 5080 because of insanely high prices so hopefully amd offers a cheaper alternative.
These will be more competitive with the 5070 cards. The name scheme speaks for itself. Hopefully closer the the Ti than the regular.

According to Cerny, PSSR was developed in partnership with AMD. So FSR4 will probably share quite a bit of code with PSSR.
but can be better, because RDNA4 have more tops + pc optimize
Let's hope so but I will keep my expectations in check. AMD always underdelivers when they hype things up, and when they don't they surprisingly overdeliver even - that's my experience with AMD.

Anyways I'm on AMD GPU currently so incase I want to upgrade I will wait a bit and decide which GPU is best in the price range of my upgrade - be it AMD or Nvidia. Might even go for older RTX 4xxx series GPU... Depends how things shape up.

Interesting how different/similar will be to pssr and what it means for future of pssr (if its better then whats the point of sony investing in it more ?)
