AMD FSR 4 coming to 30+ games at launch - Works with RDNA 4 only

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-fsr-4-coming-to-30-games-at-launch-heres-the-list

Welp, we kinda suspected it was going to be the case and now we have confirmation. Shame since FSR has been garbage for so many years and RDNA 2/3 will be stuck with the non Ai version but least they are finally implementing Ai based upscaling with RDNA 4.

I personally do not think AMD gets the same right as Nvidia to just lock it down to RDNA4 like how Nvidia locks down the absolute latest tech to the 5000 series. Nvidia has the money, the tech, mindshare and brand power to command such a demand, but AMD barely has any of all that, so they really shouldn't be trying to outright copy Nvidia in terms of market moves.

Imagine locking down their latest to their newest cards, only to find out they are priced $50 less like last gen, but still barely moves the needle.... that'd be the worst fucking move in a century. There is a time and a place to make such a move, Nvidia, much as I disagree with them, gets to make that move, AMD just doesn't, no matter how scientific we get about what tech allows to run on what cards, AMD just doesn't have that commanding power to make that kind of demand.

Yea I agree with you. Especially when the latest revision of DLSS 4 gets to work with Turing which released in 2018. Sure you don't get Multi-frame generation but boy is it nuts to continue to get support for the best upscaler on the market after so many years. Especially when you know that those cards need upscaling support the most and DLSS 4 Transformer is so good that DLSS 4 performance mode looks similar or better than DLSS 3s quality mode. Imagine having that type of tech on a 2060 Super for example that is supported over 600 games.

Meanwhile RDNA 1/2/3 all get stuck with the garbage version of FSR. Frame gen and all the other tech doesn't matter if the base upscaler is garbage. And the worst part is, they are selling new RDNA 3 based products like the Strix Halo which won't have FSR 4 along side RDNA 4 which will have FSR 4. It's all kinds of stupid lol.
