As rumored earlier this year, with the release of AMD Software, Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2, the company has officially rolled out FSR Upscaling 4.1 support for Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards, extending its newest AI-powered upscaling technology beyond RDNA 4 hardware for the first time.

AMD’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Graphics, Jack Huynh, announced the news on X, and said Radeon RX 7000 owners can now access FSR 4.1 across more than 300 supported games using the latest driver update.

AMD adapts FSR 4.1 for RDNA 3

Unlike the implementation found on RDNA 4 GPUs, the new RDNA 3 version of FSR 4.1 required substantial changes under the hood. RDNA 4 graphics processors include native support for FP8 data processing, while RDNA 3 hardware relies on INT8 operations.

That difference meant AMD had to redesign the FSR 4.1 model specifically for RDNA 3 GPUs, converting the workload from floating-point to integer-based processing while maintaining image quality. According to AMD, visual fidelity remains comparable to the RDNA 4 implementation despite the architectural differences.

The company says this additional engineering work explains why RX 7000 users had to wait longer for support compared to owners of newer Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards. AMD is also looking ahead of desktop GPUs. The company confirmed it is working on lightweight machine learning models designed to bring FSR 4.1 to RDNA 3-based APUs, where integrated graphics performance presents additional challenges.

Recent leaks linked to Valve suggest the INT8-based version of FSR 4.1 already runs on RDNA 3.5 hardware, fueling speculation that handheld gaming devices and future APUs could be next in line. That being said, AMD’s latest update narrows one of the biggest feature gaps between RDNA 3 and RDNA 4, giving RX 7000 users access to the company’s most advanced upscaling technology without needing new hardware.
