For people with Radeon RX cards that aren’t the newest on the shelf, the wait may finally be over. AMD has announced that its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech is coming to older Radeon RX graphics cards, beginning with RDNA 3 GPUs this July.
Until now, AMD’s latest version of FSR has been exclusive to Radeon RX 9000-series graphics cards. But come the summer, Radeon RX 7000 cards will get access to “superior AI-powered upscaling” in their games—even though those chips lack the native specialized hardware needed to run it.
Jack Huynh. AMD’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Computing Graphics. explained in a video that his team had to “carefully tune. optimize and validate the model” to make it work fast enough on older cards. He said the work involved optimizing memory usage and reducing artifacts in fast-moving scenes. the kind of moments where upscaling can make (or break) the illusion.
AMD also said it tested FSR 4.1 running on hundreds of PC configurations. At launch, the company is promising support for more than 300 games. Players on RDNA 2 hardware will have to wait a bit longer, but AMD added that it plans to bring FSR 4.1 to even older GPUs in early 2027.
The pitch here is clear: AMD’s upscaling approach is starting to feel less gated by hardware generation than rival NVIDIA’s strategy. NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 was made available across all RTX GPUs last year, but some features—like multi-frame generation—are limited to newer models.
