FSR 4 Redstone Technology
FSR Redstone is powered by machine learning (ML), featuring Neural Radiance Caching, ML-accelerated Ray Regeneration, and ML-accelerated Frame Generation. The technology delivers:
- FSR Upscaling: Reconstructs high-quality visuals from low-resolution frames
- FSR Frame Generation: Predicts and inserts new frames for smoother gameplay
- FSR Ray Regeneration: Restores full-quality ray-traced detail from sparse samples
- FSR Radiance Caching: Predicts light propagation for efficient real-time global illumination
FSR 4 Redstone is exclusively supported on Radeon RX 9000-series RDNA 4-based graphics cards, while older RDNA 3 and RDNA 2 cards continue using FSR 3.1.
New Hardware Support
The driver adds compatibility for AMD Radeon AI PRO R9600D and Radeon AI PRO R9700S, expected to debut at CES 2026. The R9700S is a server-optimised passive-cooled variant, while the R9600D offers a more affordable option.
