AMD has confirmed that its FSR Redstone software update for Radeon RX 9000 "RDNA 4" GPUs is headed for launch on the 10th of December.
AMD Confirms FSR Redstone Update For 10th December, Bringing Massive Performance, Visual & AI-Side Enhancements
AMD's SVP and general manager of the Computing and Graphics Group, Jack Huynh, has posted an official teaser on his social X feed in which it can be confirmed that the FSR Redstone update is ready, with an official launch date of 10th December, 2025.
The AMD FSR Redstone update will be the biggest update to the Radeon driver and FSR software stack, bringing in various new technologies. These new technologies include Neural Radiance Caching, ML Ray-Regeneration, ML Super Resolution, and ML Frame Generation. The company initially disclosed this tech back at Computex 2025.
We have already seen a glimpse of the AMD FSR Redstone update in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which supports ML-based Ray Regeneration. The tech offers a similar function as NVIDIA's Ray Reconstruction, which essentially replaces the in-game denoise with an AI/ML-based algorithm, offering better visuals at zero performance cost. You can check out our impressions of Black Ops 7's PC performance here.
- Neural Radiance Caching, which uses an ML model to learn the light behaviour and predict the scenes for efficient real-time global illumination.
- ML Ray Regeneration, which is trained on noisy low-sampled renders to predict and filter grainy noise in real time, offering sharper visuals while reducing the overall rendering cost.
- ML Super Resolution to reconstruct low-resolution visuals in real time and offer upscaled images.
- ML Frame Generation that adds new fake frames between the real rendered ones for higher performance.
There have been reports that AMD FSR Redstone won't be just AMD-only, and might even work with modern-day NVIDIA and Intel GPUs too. That is something that we could only confirm when the tech launches on 10th December.
It will be even nicer if AMD brings FSR Redstone support to older GPUs, including RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5 series. We are still about a month away from launch, but this announcement definitely has us excited for the Redstone.
