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.

The situation is very simple: Do the former RDNA architectures have the hardware parts necessary to run FRS$? If yes, then they should do it, period. If they don't, then AMD makes hardware, not miracles.

Nvidia didin't port DLSS to its 1000 and older cards because it needed the Tensor cores that the 2000 series came with. The same logic applies here.

Yea from a technical standpoint you are right but this just adds another reason to not buy Radeon. I really hope Radeon team doesn't let their hubris get to them because it's things like this is why majority of Nvidia users will never switch. If people are building $1000-$1500 pcs, an extra $100-200 for Nvidia is nothing if this is what buying Radeon looks like. They need to either start developing forward thinking archs or they need to do that 20% price discount vs Nvidia at launch and gradually discount it to 30%. I think at that point, people won't care that it's missing features when you can get like 5070 Ti performance for say $550-600.

But if they are like Nvidia -$50 or even -$100, I wouldn't even bother.
