It's been a long time coming but AMD has announced it is bringing FSR Upscaling 4.1 to 7000/6000 series graphics cards.
In a tweet, the company's GM of computing and graphics and VP, Jack Huynh, said it will roll out FSR 4.1 on 7000-series cards (RDNA 3) this July.
As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games.My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards.We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide.

The company had previously limited support for the newer, smarter upscaling technology to the latest 9000-series graphics cards. It harnesses machine learning, similar to Nvidia's DLSS, to improve results. Specifically, the version currently available on the 9000 series (RDNA 4) is designed for FP8 support on RDNA 4's 2nd Generation AI Accelerators.
The 1st Generation AI Accelerators found in RDNA 3 support INT8 (8-bit integer), and not FP8 (8-bit floating point). AMD also introduced INT8 support in the RDNA 2 compute unit. The lack of FP8 support does not preclude FSR 4.1 from working on these cards, though, as Sony's PSSR upscaling technology was confirmed by Mark Cerny to be based on AMD's tech and use INT8 instead.
PSSR and FSR 4.1 are not identical, but through this, it was shown to be possible to run FSR Upscaling 4.1 INT8 on older AMD graphics cards, too. AMD actually published the source code for FSR 4 INT8 onto Github, which was quickly snapped up by modders, compiled into a dll, and then used it to enable FSR 4 on older graphics cards.
So, essentially, modders beat AMD to the punch. The lack of FSR 4 support on older cards has been a sore spot ever since.
Now AMD is righting that wrong, if only a little slowly. Huynh says of the move: "I’m grateful to our fans. Your enthusiasm and ideas inspire us to keep pushing gaming forward."
Also worth noting that AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 is not the same as FSR Redstone. These updates pertain to the former, not the latter as a whole. FSR Redstone is the name given to the full suite of ML-powered technologies, including Upscaling, Frame Generation, Ray Regeneration, and Radiance Caching. The full ML-powered suite is only supported on RDNA 4, though you can use a different Frame Generation tech without ML on older cards.
It's tough to get your head around all the codenames and versions at times—classic AMD.
