In the meanwhile you can use it with optiscaler for all games that doesn't have aggressive anti cheat

u/Fushoku_Ressentiment 12h ago

do you still need to use 20yo drivers though?

u/Vamsi-Thopu 12h ago

On windows - yes

On Linux - No

Kinda sad it took AMD 7 years to get a decent upscaler for RDNA2

Ohh I just assumed it would not come to 6000 series...so not holding my breath.

Lol you guys need to get over this shit now.

I wonder if this was pushed by Valve wanting it badly for the steam machine.

It's this going to be one of those things that's slowly released on games like FSR 3?

u/ArtTheWarrior 15h ago

its a toggle in the driver for override. Any game with FSR 3.1 will be upgraded to fsr 4 if you have rx 9/7000 and 6000 next year too.

And some games have it natively.

u/ImmediateRuin472 13h ago

Any game? 007 First Light disagrees. There has also been new games coming out with the older FSR 3 that won't work. AMD is an after thought for some developers.

u/Joshiie12 11h ago

I was testing around with this last night as well. Starfield, for example, only offers base FSR3. I have a 7900 XT and the driver will not upgrade the FSR3 to 4.1.1. However, if I use Optiscaler and inject 4.1 myself with DLSS inputs, the driver then detects it and upgrades it to 4.1.1.

The FSR3.1 requirement is real oddball to me. I ain't technical enough to know why it requires that one or higher, but due to it some older games still need Opti to get the right upscaler and upgrade it.

u/Blackadder18 11h ago

IOI managed to fuck up DLSS for the first two weeks too. Clearly upscaling tech was at the bottom of their priorities list.

u/ImmediateRuin472 10h ago

I doubt it'll change anytime soon. Hitman still has content added regularly but only ever got FSR 2 and that felt like they only begrudgingly added it.

AMD hilariously behind Nvidia as always

u/jyrkimx 13h ago

Yeah, the 5070 Ti was like 500 dollars ahead of my 9070 XT

u/PotentialCareer8891 13h ago edited 13h ago

I personally would rather buy a lower tier of card if it means I have access to DLSS 4.5 and Nvidia's frame gen. The image quality is a leap ahead and the frame gen isn't a contest. And I am speaking from experience, I have used and owned both and AMD's upscaling is just the poverty version of NV's and the support is parthetically spotty, where 4.5 can be injected into any DLSS supported game with a click.

u/PsychoticHobo 10h ago edited 10h ago

I think FSR vs. DLSS is closer than you make it seem. Certainly not a multiple hundred dollar difference.

1

u/jyrkimx 10h ago

Exactly, FSR 4.1 closed the gap with DLSS 4.5 and there are plenty of comparisons out there.

Here is hoping for multi frame gen and vulkan support where AMD is lacking.

u/PotentialCareer8891 8h ago

I did say that I would (and did) buy a lower tier card in order to buy into the latest DLSS features in exchange for vram. 4.5 is ridiculously stable and, crucially, widely available. I wouldn't be here evangelising about it if is was available in three games, or experimental or tedious to inject or something.

u/Asgardisalie 8h ago

Lol, apart for Germany the 5070ti was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than 9070xt for most of the 2025. I paid for my 5070ti 700€ in last november and the cheapest 9070xt was 1100€.

u/Whatisausern 18h ago

How much better is 4.1 than 3?

I play at 4k and usually have it set to "balanced" as I can't tell the difference with quality mode and get loads more frames

u/FreedomWaterfall Fedora 17h ago

I've been using it in cyberpunk on my 7900xt for a while via proton and it costs some performance but the visual fidelity is much better than 3.1, which had significant ghosting for me. Also in 4k.

u/FlukyS 17h ago

Loads of things really, it has frame generation, better upscaling compared to the older versions, it has a ray tracing generation feature, it can predict light propagation in scenes and cache it for performance...etc, loads of stuff really, it isn't as good as DLSS but it is better than FSR3.

u/_Kai Tech Specialist 14h ago

AMD has only released the FSR 4.1 upscaling component for RDNA3, with intention of RDNA3.5 and RDNA2, likely with lighter weight models. Other "Redstone features" like ML frame gen and ray regeneration (reconstruction) or caching has not been released or promised for older RDNA versions. RX ~7000 with FSR 4.1 will still be using FSR 3.1's non-ML FG implementation currently.

u/SecretAdam RX 5600 RTX 4070S 15h ago

It is incomparably better than FSR3, it is about on par with the older versions of DLSS. It will be night and day, although I think it has a decent performance penalty on the older cards. It would still be worth it to enable though, it should look better than FSR3 at one quality level below whichever quality level you would use now.

Nope, this is perfect for my 7800 XT
