- Files for the next iteration of AMD’s upscaling tech, FSR 4, have been spotted online.
- The version will be called FSR 4.1 and can be downloaded from AMD’s website.
- The official update could go live soon, probably with the release of Crimson Desert.
Upscaling has become a huge part of optimization in the current gaming scene, with Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR leading the pack. However, FSR still lags behind DLSS, which is generally considered a much superior upscaler.
However, AMD seems to be preparing the next version of its upscaling, FSR 4.1, which would be the company’s first major update to its tech since FSR 4, which was launched nearly a year ago.
Why it matters: DLSS still delivers significantly better visual quality thanks to its tensor cores, image reconstruction, and AI tech. AMD would be hoping it could at least get close to its quality with the upcoming iteration.
A Reddit user spotted a new FSR 4.1 DLL file that is available to download from AMD’s official website. The version still isn’t official, so this suggests that a probable launch could soon be happening, in time for Crimson Desert.
Early testers suggest that the version is indeed an improvement and narrows the gap in quality with DLSS 4.5. However, we will have a better idea with thorough testing when the updates officially go live.
AMD has been advertising Crimson Desert on its featured games page, which suggests solid integration. Its page says the game supports FSR 3/4 and Frame Generation, and we could finally see FSR 4.1 releasing along with it.
