Quote:AMD finally launches FSR Redstone



AMD has officially launched the FSR Redstone technology stack today, after a limited launch in COD Black Ops 7 last month. Despite expectations, AMD is not launching all four main components of Redstone, as at least one will not be available until 2026. One feature will be limited to a single game (COD). The whole stack is only for RDNA4 GPUs.

The first thing to note is that AMD is officially changing the name of its “super resolution” stack. The FSR tech is no longer just about upscaling and frame generation. AMD is copying the NVIDIA DLSS stack by adding more technologies. For this reason it made little sense to just call it FSR 5 or similar. FSR Upscaling is not updated, it seems. The slide clearly states “formerly FSR 4,” so this component (which already used machine learning) is the same. AMD reiterates this tech is only available on Radeon RX 9000 series, and only with games that already supported FSR 3.1 (it is a drop-in replacement). That allows AMD to claim support in 200+ games by the end of this year.
