AMD announces FSR4, available “only on Radeon RX 9070 series”

Remember folks, Intel found a way to run XeSS on RDNA 2...

I'll reserve my judgement until we know more about the new architecture It's a shame AMD didn't extend the support to older architectures, but we knew this was the most likely situation as it probably uses new hardware blocks designed for this, like Nvidia's Tensor cores.

Also yes, XeSS runs on RDNA2 and also older Nvidia architectures, but it does so by eating resources that the card would use to render the game, making the gains rather small (at least in the Tomb Raider game every body tested it, I don't know if there has been more tests with more games).

On another note, I hope the “only on Radeon RX 9070 series” bit is only there because those are the cards that are "announcing" today, and that the 9060 supports it as well. Otherwise it's a, to be polite, not very intelligent idea from AMD that will only cause them pain, bad press and lost sales.

AMD previews Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9070 Series, RDNA4 launches Q1 2025

"Today is only the announcement, no specs, performance, pricing or release date"

Gotta wait for Nvidia so they can do their 5-10% discount lmao

If that's all they were going to do, they could have saved it for another day, when they reveal the whole info. That's as useless as it can be.

That being said, there's quite a size gap between AMD's reference 9070 and 9070XT. I wonder if that means that the performance gap between both will be relatively big.

Yea surely they won't make it that confusing unless 9060 is based on RDNA 3 and 9070 is based on RDNA 4. But if that's the case, that opens up a whole new can of worms since the naming scheme is already confusing. Surely they won't be that stupid and if nothing else, 9060 will be based on RDNA 4.

The worst part about being this late with Ai upscaling however is the supported games. DLSS is currently over 600 games while XeSS is over 200 games. FSR4 is going to start with a select few and will require developer implementation. Sure I am sure someone will mod in a dll modifier or what have you but we have seen that official support is better than modding things in. Hopefully Radeon gets on that asap.

Not too much longer till we get the official details however.
