AMD has made a significant leap forward by introducing the FSR Redstone update, expanding its support to over 200 games with the Radeon RX 9000 “RDNA 4” GPU series. This move marks an exciting development for gamers seeking enhanced performance and visual quality.
Unveiling AMD FSR Redstone with Broad Game Support
The debut of AMD’s FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) Redstone marks a major update, designed to work exclusively with AMD’s cutting-edge Radeon RX 9000 “RDNA 4” GPUs. This update, however, leaves previous architectures like RDNA 3.5 and earlier without official support. For these older generations, engaging FSR Redstone will revert back to FSR 3. By the end of 2025, more than 200 games will be supported by FSR Redstone’s upscaling technology, although Frame-Generation will be limited to 40 titles.
Key Features of AMD FSR Redstone
The FSR Redstone update introduces several new features, aimed at enhancing the graphics experience:
- FSR Redstone Upscaling
- FSR Redstone Frame-Gen
- FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration
- FSR Redstone Neural Caching
The FSR Upscaling model brings high-quality, low-latency upscaling that enhances the existing FSR 4 model through neural rendering. Meanwhile, AMD FSR Frame Generation uses an advanced neural network to reduce temporal artifacts, significantly refining visuals in action-packed scenes.
AMD’s Strategic Partnerships and Future Prospects
AMD has joined forces with Fatshark, the creators of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, to be the first to demonstrate AMD’s FSR Radiance Caching in a tech-demo format. This feature accelerates ray tracing radiance cache time using a real-time neural network-based algorithm, benefitting developers integrating it into their games starting in 2026.
The FSR Redstone’s ML-based features promise substantial visual and performance enhancements. With its ability to offer over 3x the FPS gain in numerous titles, this update is eagerly anticipated by the gaming community. AMD is notably advancing its technology suite, and gaming enthusiasts can expect more groundbreaking features from the company in the near future.
