AMD has officially launched FSR 4.1 for Radeon RX 7000 GPUs while confirming support for RDNA 3.5 & RDNA 3 GPUs coming soon.
AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPU Owners Can Now Enjoy FSR 4.1 Upscaling Across 300+ Games
Last month, AMD announced that it would finally bring FSR 4.1 upscaling to its older GPUs. This was a highly requested feature by Radeon owners who felt left out, especially when NVIDIA was rolling out its latest upscaling models to GPUs that were much older.
In the previous announcement, AMD confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 "RDNA 3" and Radeon RX 6000 "RDNA 2" GPUs were getting FSR 4.1 upscaling, optimized around their INT8 instructions vs Radeon RX 9000 "RDNA 4," which featured FP8 instructions, and are still the best case scenario for running FSR 4.1 upscaling with minimal performance impact.
AMD promises that the time it took to make these optimizations for older GPUs will guarantee minimal performance drops versus the manual methods that have been out in the market. In a video published by Jack Hyuh, it looks like AMD is bringing Radeon RX 7000 support one month earlier than originally anticipated (July 2026). Jack states that you can download the latest version of Adrenalin software today to get FSR 4.1 support on Radeon RX 7000 GPUs. That's amazing news.

In the first example comparison, FSR 4.1 is compared against Native 4K resolution on a Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card, delivering a 49% uplift in performance with upscaling enabled.
AMD also shows that its own FSR 4.1 optimizations made for Radeon RX 7000 offer better uplifts versus FSR 4.0.2c, a community mod that most Radeon RX 7000 owners have been using. You can expect better image quality and higher performance when running the same preset on the same GPU.
The reason is that AMD went the extra mile & tested FSR 4.1 across thousands of configurations, including the full RDNA 3 (RX 7000) lineup starting at the RX 7600 and all the way up to the 7900 XTX. FSR 4.1 is now here for RX 7000, and you can try it out in over 300 games.
FSR 4.1 Upscaling Coming Soon To RDNA 3.5 and RDNA 3 iGPUs
But the icing on the cake comes from the fact that AMD is also confirming support for RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5 APUs. For these iGPUs, AMD will be developing a new lightweight machine learning model that brings FSR 4.1 upscaling to even more devices, say Laptops, Mini PCs, Handhelds, and much more.
The AMD RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5 iGPUs mean that FSR 4.1 will be supported across Ryzen AI 300, Ryzen AI 400, and Ryzen AI MAX (300/400) APUs. This has been a long time coming, but it's nice that iGPU users will finally enjoy richer visuals with more performance. We can't wait to see how the new iGPU model compares against the models designed for discrete GPUs. The support is on its way, but AMD hasn't disclosed a final release date yet for iGPUs.
