AMD brings FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 6000 GPUs

AMD is expanding support for FSR Upscaling 4.1, its machine learning-based upscaling technology, to a broad range of platforms. The technology reconstructs crisp, high-quality visuals from lower-resolution frames, and AMD says it delivers “a significant leap in image quality over AMD FSR™ 3.1.”

The rollout builds on earlier steps. AMD launched FSR 4 exclusively on Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs in 2025. In July 2026, it delivered FSR Upscaling 4.1 for Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs and promised arrival on more platforms. AMD says it has since further streamlined and optimized the technology to reach more devices.

Support Across Platforms

FSR Upscaling 4.1 now covers AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards, AMD Ryzen AI Max processors, laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI 9 processors, and gaming handhelds featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, Ryzen Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 A processors. Xbox Series X|S consoles are coming soon.

Radeon RX 6000 Series: AMD optimized the INT8 model originally created for FSR Upscaling 4.1 on Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs, enabling support for Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs, first released in 2020. AMD says owners get a major upgrade over the FSR 3.1 solution without buying new components.

Ryzen AI Max systems: FSR Upscaling 4.1 makes its official debut on mobile APUs in high-performance laptops and mini-PC workstations, such as AMD Ryzen AI Halo PCs or the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 and TUF A14 laptops. AMD says devices with Ryzen AI Max APUs can turn on the feature for boosts in visual sharpness and fluidity in hundreds of games.

Ryzen AI 9 and Z2 handhelds and laptops: AMD introduced a new, more efficient version of FSR Upscaling 4.1 built for this class of hardware. The streamlined model is meant to deliver high performance for handhelds and mainstream laptops. AMD says the visual gain will be clear even on the small screens of portable gaming devices, such as the ASUS ROG XBOX Ally X featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor. Users of mainstream laptops with Ryzen AI 9 processors will benefit as well.

Xbox: In the announcement video, Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet confirms that FSR Upscaling 4.1 is coming soon to Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Other updates: AMD also announced FSR 4 Vulkan support and improvements to frame pacing for FSR Frame Generation. Details are on AMDGaming.com.
