AMD adds FSR 4.1 support for RX 6000 GPUs, Xbox Series X/S and Ryzen AI chips
AMD announced that its FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.1 (FSR 4.1) is now compatible with Radeon RX 6000‑series GPUs, Xbox Series X and S consoles, Ryzen Z‑series handhelds, and devices using Ryzen AI Max and AI 9 chips. The company says it rewrote the upscaling neural network to run on INT8 shader hardware instead of the FP8 matrix acceleration used on the newer Radeon 9000 line, and the…
Key points
- AMD released FSR 4.1 for Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, Xbox Series X/S, and Ryzen AI Max/AI 9 chips.
- The updated driver (Radeon 26.10.1) shows ~13% performance cost on 4K Balanced mode with Cyberpunk 2077 on an RX 6900 XT.
- FSR Frame Generation pacing improves, Vulkan API support is planned, and Ray Regeneration is added to more games.
In testing with a Radeon RX 6900 XT running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K in FSR Balanced mode, AMD reports the FSR 4.1 workload adds roughly 13 % performance overhead, a modest cost for sharper, more stable visuals. The update also brings better frame‑pacing for FSR Frame Generation, plans for Vulkan‑API support, and the rollout of FSR Ray Regeneration in additional games such as Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
The new features are delivered through the Radeon 26.10.1 drivers available via the AMD Adrenalin app or the AMD website, which also add support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Final Fantasy Resonance. AMD notes that Xbox and Ryzen Z2 handheld owners will receive OEM‑specific driver updates.
AMD's FSR 4.1 now works on Radeon RX 6000 cards, Xbox Series X and S, and Ryzen AI Max, AI 9, and Z2 SoCs
