AMD’s latest technology, FSR Redstone, has been introduced in the gaming world through Activision’s newest addition to the Call of Duty series. This exciting development marks a significant step forward in gaming graphics.
AMD’s FSR Redstone Arrives with “Ray Regeneration” in Call of Duty
Since early 2025, AMD has been broadening its graphics technology offerings, with Redstone being a pivotal release. This Machine Learning-powered feature includes several neural rendering technologies aimed at enhancing image quality and gaming performance. Reports suggest that FSR Redstone has made its first appearance in COD: Black Ops 7, offering only the Ray Regeneration feature at this stage. This is a partial debut, as the full suite of FSR Redstone features is yet to be utilized.
AMD FSR Ray Regeneration, a machine learning–based real-time denoiser that replaces traditional denoisers to produce sharper detail and fewer artifacts in raytraced effects. Originally announced at Computex, FSR Ray Regeneration is the first feature released in the FSR Redstone suite and will be available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at launch on November 14th.
With support on AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics, AMD FSR Ray Regeneration uses neural networks to process ray‑traced reflections and shadows before upscaling and frame generation, delivering crisp, cinematic visuals and a more immersive experience.

Exploring the Full Potential of FSR Redstone
FSR Redstone introduces three groundbreaking features: Neural Radiance Cache, Machine Learning Ray Regeneration, and Machine Learning Frame Generation. These innovations rival NVIDIA’s DLSS upgrades, utilizing neural networks and AI to significantly enhance gaming visuals.
- Neural Radiance Caching: A model that learns and predicts light behavior for efficient real-time global illumination.
- ML Ray Regeneration: Trained to filter grainy noise and offer sharper visuals while cutting rendering costs.
- ML Super Resolution: Reconstructs low-resolution visuals in real time for upscaled images.
- ML Frame Generation: Inserts synthetic frames between real ones to enhance performance.
However, there’s a caveat for AMD fans: FSR Redstone is initially exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs. This limitation might prevent a large portion of AMD’s gaming community from experiencing the technology firsthand.
