AMD has officially released FSR 4.1 support for Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards based on the RDNA 3 architecture. According to Hardware Unboxed, the new version of the technology significantly surpasses FSR 3.1 in image quality.
The test authors note that FSR 4.1 noticeably improves the picture in motion, maintaining sharpness and detail, and also eliminates many FSR 3.1 problems, including ghosting, flickering, and artifacts around moving objects. The difference is especially noticeable in scenes with vegetation, for example, in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Hardware Unboxed stated:
FSR 3.1 in many cases looks so bad that it is practically useless, unlike DLSS, especially at low resolutions. (...) FSR 4 completely destroys FSR 3 in image quality. I would call this the biggest software quality leap in the history of AMD Radeon graphics cards, which gives new life to last-generation GPUs.
Even the "Performance" mode in 4K, according to tests, provides a higher quality image than FSR 3.1 in "Quality" mode.
AMD is also working on official FSR 4 support for Radeon RX 6000. It is expected in early 2027.
