You save up your hard-earned cash to put money into a brand new graphics card in your PC, snagged your new prized possession, and life is sweet. You’re gaming with easy renders, negligible latency, and blistering body charge. Or are you? For those who personal one in all 9000 collection RDNA 4 GPUs that’s not the case aside from a choose few video games. It seems that AMD’s FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (FSR 4) know-how, which is the magic sauce of AMD’s GPUs and their reply to Nvidia’s DLSS, doesn’t work with a big swath of video games. That features common titles like Diablo IV and Silent Hill 2. And if you happen to personal an older AMD card, you’re S.O.L. as there’s no phrase in case your {hardware} will get FSR 4 anytime quickly or in any respect.
Nevertheless, in line with PCWorld, an answer does exist — if you happen to personal one of many 9000 collection playing cards. An enterprising modder named HighYield not too long ago posted a video displaying off their new OptiScaler app. When used, the app permits FSR 4 on any recreation that assist Nvidia’s DLSS 2 or Intel’s XeSS upscaling software program. Better of all, it’s free. OptiScaler may even allow body era and a few anti-latency assist. You already know, the stuff it is best to have gotten from day one once you plunked down $600 or extra in your shiny new Radeon 9070 XT card.
As of proper now, FSR 4, which AMD claims brings a ”substantial picture high quality enchancment” over FSR 3.1, is unique to the corporate’s 9000-series house owners, and with solely 44 video games at the moment supporting the know-how in comparison with the over 100 titles getting Nvidia DLSS 4 assist, that leaves a variety of followers of common video games like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2 and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, out within the chilly.
For those who go to HighYield’s X account, there’s an in depth walkthrough of establishing the OptiScaler app to allow FSR 4 on video games like Cyberpunk 2077. For OptiScaler to work, you will need to have both an Radeon RX 9070 or 9070 XT card and DirectX 12 put in. Throughout the demo video, HighYield exhibits off Cyberpunk 2077 taking part in at 1440p at 60 frames per second with full path tracing. And earlier than you say it’s a fluke, different YouTube movies are popping up displaying related outcomes. So for, OptiScaler can tide you over whereas AMD works to develop the catalog for FSR 4 with extra video games hopefully coming prior to later.
However the key phrase right here is mod. Meaning this workaround just isn’t AMD accepted. Which implies the repair may not work completely at instances, and there is likely to be a time the place AMD places the kibosh on the app as FSR 4 begins rolling out to extra video games.
