AMD has officially introduced FSR Redstone, a major update to its FidelityFX Super Resolution technology suite. This marks a significant step toward the use of machine learning (ML) in improving game performance and visuals.
Designed for Radeon RX 9000 Series
This new technology is made for the latest Radeon RX 9000 GPUs based on the RDNA 4 architecture, promising to transform the gaming experience.
The main highlight of FSR Redstone is its impressive performance boost. According to AMD, players can expect over 3x higher FPS in many games, reaching up to 4.7x increases in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
FSR Redstone includes four main features:
- FSR Redstone Upscaling: An improved version of FSR 4 using neural rendering to deliver better image quality and lower latency.
- FSR Redstone Frame Generation: A neural network algorithm that inserts synthetic frames to increase FPS while reducing visual artifacts.
- FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration: An AI/ML-based solution replacing traditional game denoisers to improve ray tracing visuals without affecting performance.
- FSR Redstone Neural Caching (or Radiance Caching): An algorithm that speeds up ray tracing cache times. Game support for this feature is expected in 2026.
Broad Game Compatibility and Future Plans
When it comes to adoption, AMD plans to make FSR Redstone Upscaling compatible with more than 200 games by the end of 2025. Out of that total, over 40 titles will also support Frame Generation.
While FSR Redstone mainly targets the newest RDNA 4 hardware, older GPUs using RDNA 3 or earlier architectures are not officially supported and will continue to rely on FSR 3.
With this ambitious update, AMD aims to truly compete with Nvidia’s DLSS — now with real artificial intelligence integration.
