AMD FSR 4 to support over 30 games at launch, 75 by the end of the year

[Daniel Sims]

In brief: AMD will reveal the tech specs, prices, and release dates for its next-generation Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards later this week, but a fresh leak has outlined the software support for a key feature, FSR 4. Upon launch early next month, the new GPUs will display dozens of games with image quality approaching Nvidia DLSS.

VideoCardz has leaked more information regarding AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards. The outlet recently published an allegedly official list of around 35 games supporting the company's FSR 4 upscaling technology upon release in early March.

The new functionality, exclusive to RX 9000 GPUs, marks AMD's adoption of machine learning for image reconstruction. Last month, a CES demonstration (below) showcased substantial improvements over FSR 3.1 in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

The following games are expected to receive similar image quality improvements starting next month:

• The Alters
• Bellwright
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
• Creatures of Ava
• Dragonkin: The Banished
• Endoria: The Last Song
• FragPunk
• Funko Fusion
• God of War: Ragnarok
• Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
• Horizon Forbidden West
• Hunt: Showdown 1896
• Incursion Red River
• Kristala
• Marvel Rivals
• Marvel's Spider-Man 2
• Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
• Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
• MechWarrior 5: Clans
• Monster Hunter Wilds
• Nightingale
• No More Room in Hell 2
• PANICORE
• Predator: Hunting Grounds
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
• Remnant 2
• Smite 2
• The Axis Unseen
• The Last of Us: Part I
• The Last of Us: Part II Remastered
• Until Dawn
• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
• Dynasty Warriors: Origins
• Civilization 7

Additional developers cooperating with AMD on adopting FSR 4 include 11 Bit Studios, Activision, Ballistic Moon, Focus Entertainment, Guerrilla, Insomniac Games, Krafton, Naughty Dog, NetEase, Nixxes, Pearl Abyss, Sager, SEGA, and Torn Banner. AMD claims the number of FSR4-compatible titles will exceed 75 by the end of the year.

However, users can also manually implement the new upscaler in any title supporting FSR 3.1. Therefore, the following games will likely have a manual toggle or officially implement FSR 4 support in the coming months:

• Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
• Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
• Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
• Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.
• Space Engineers 2
• Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
• Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• ARK: Survival Ascended
• Farming Simulator 25
• Silent Hill 2
• Final Fantasy XVI
• The First Descendant
• Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut
• Manor Lords
• The Finals
• Mortal Kombat 1
• Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
• Everspace 2
• Satisfactory
• War Thunder

AMD also provided new information regarding FSR 4's performance presets. Unlike FSR 3.1 and DLSS, Team Red's new upscaler won't include an ultra-performance mode for tripling the resolution scale (for example, from 1280 x 720 to 4K). Performance mode, which scales from half resolution, will be the lowest setting.

Previous leaks from VideoCardz and other sources have revealed the full RX 9070 and 9070 XT specifications. Additionally, early Micro Center listings indicate the 9070 might start at $649.99 and the XT at $699.99. However, whether the numbers represent MSRP or boosted AIB partner prices is unclear.

AMD FSR 4 to support over 30 games at launch, 75 by the end of the year

Native resolution will always outperform the guesswork of scalers in latency, fidelity, and consistency. Adding another layer of processing to create fake pixels never appealed to me. Sure, you can enable DLSS and it will improve your FPS, but you will always pay for it in other ways... Motion blurring, loss of native fidelity, color, microstuttering, regular stuttering, menu hangs, alt+tab bugs, fullscreen vs windowed bugs, etc.

If a system can't hit spec, DLSS/FSR can only assume what it might look like at full speed. An interpretation at best, a blurry mess at worst.

 

[ZedRM]

Here's an idea. AMD should come up with a way to apply this to ALL games instead of a select few. Nvidia and Intel too. Until then, I could not care less about this type of feature.

 

[hahahanoobs]

Remember when they praised FSR for working on Nvidia cards....

FSR works on all video cards, even GTX1080ti... when dlss doesn't.

FSR4 onward is essentially thee Industry Standard, since RDNA4 & FSR4 is being used the new Consoles & handhelds coming as well. So if you buying a budget card and goin g to rely heavily on upscaling, best to get one that supports FSR, bcz it the one most games will support.

Faster cards don't need upscaling... that is why they cost more.

Almost everything you said is false.

stuttering, menu hangs, alt+tab bugs ?? What you are talking about ? never had any of these issue

Also, Super resolution upscalling does not increase latency.. It is actually reduce latency because you get higher real frame rate... You must be confused between Super resolution upscalling and frame generation

If you search online for these issues you'll find them to be quite real. Your sample size of one is too small for a consensus. Also, if DLSS was perfect there wouldn't be 4 versions of it.

I searched and I did not find anything that says that upscaling (not frame generation) increase latency

Also, your claim about stuttering, menu hangs, alt+tab bugs... could have happened in just 1 or 2 game for few users..It does not prove that it is a universal problem... We have professional tester like Hardware Unboxed, Digital foundry and other who tested DLSS and they not report the problems you mentioned.

The prices came out, via the Linux focused Phoronix website: "The Radeon RX 9070 XT is listed for $599 USD and the Radeon RX 9070 for $549 USD."

If this be available in that price, and just slightly more for custom ones, then I'm getting asap. Just hope they got enough of them to stop scalpers.

DLSS vs FSR vs XeSS Input Latency TESTED | TechteamGB

Upscaling tech has become incredibly common to find in games - so much so that all three GPU manufacturers offer their own solutions to do just that. Generally speaking, NVIDIA is the front runner here with their closed source, proprietary option called DLSS (deep learning super sampling). It’s...

techteamgb.co.uk

I'd like to point out that frame generation partially exists to address input latency inherient to DLSS upscaling. Everything has a cost. Additional software cannot add performance. Only three things can improve performance without compromise: Less software, improved software, or improved hardware. DLSS is none of these.

Your own article show that upscalling decrease latency

Also, watch hardware unboxed testing latency too.

DLSS quality mode significantly decrease latency compared to native resolution because you get much higher real fps... As long you get higher fps, latency will be lower... If DLSS is not improving fps, then latency will about same (like CPU limited games, but there no point to use DLSS if you are CPU limited anyway)

YOU have no ideea what you are talking about.
Any kind of postprocessing adds lag.

 

[ZedRM]

Clearly you can read, so the question stands: Can you context? The article above listed games this is compatible with. Not video cards, game titles. My statement was,

Here's an idea. AMD should come up with a way to apply this to ALL games instead of a select few. Nvidia and Intel too. Until then, I could not care less about this type of feature.

This.

FSR works on all video cards

So what is this? Did you not understand what I said? Or did you not understand the article?

I'm going to restate: Until FSR(and everything like it) works with all GAMES, it's a meaningless and worthless feature.

YOU have no ideea what you are talking about.
Any kind of postprocessing adds lag.

This! No getting around it either. The only question is how much lag is introduced and how it effects the user experience.

DLSS is not postprocessing. It is not applied after rendering (like post-processing does). DLSS works during rendering

Your understanding of how image scaling works is flawed. There is always a cost to any effect. The question is: How much. Does FSR make for better frame rates? Yes. Is it a free effect? No. It simply takes fewer resources and less processing time than a natively rendered image would.

Yes, you statement was a uneducated plea of why game titles can't do things hardware can.

FSR works on all games... and on all hardware, you do not need an AMD video card. (here is your answer)

FSR4 is hardware based and will be the Industry Standard from here on out. As the next PlayStation and Xbox and handheld will also use this hardware standard. Each Game Developer chooses their path, but FSR4 solidifies all of that. But not all games (old ones) are as sophisticated as Today's tech.

Not all games developers can go back in time and rework their titles for why..? (meaning ALL GAMES), instead of understanding all new games will...

FSR 4 - The AI-Powered Upscaler
For FSR 4, AMD has been training several custom game ML models on its Instinct accelerators, which are then integrated within the FSR 4 AI Upscaling Algorithm. This data is then passed onto Radeon RX 9000 "RDNA 4" GPUs, which offer up to 779 TOPS of AI acceleration to deliver high-quality and AI-enhanced upscaled 4K output. The scenes are then passed to the frame-gen algorithm, which generates several frames within the game and delivers the final result, which is smooth and great to look at. -wccftech




Lastly, TECHSPOT did an article on how much lag is produced when using gimmicks...

Ah yes, you've proven my above statement true. Congrats!

What does the above article say?

The following games are expected to receive

However, users can also manually implement the new upscaler in any title supporting FSR 3.1. Therefore, the following games will likely have a manual toggle or officially implement FSR 4 support in the coming months

Now let's ask ourselves, what do these statements say. Hmm??

Now let's ask ourselves, what do these statements say. Hmm??

So you are saying, you have learned..? And now understand why FSR is on all games, while FSR4 is hardware based and will be used on all further Xbox & PlayStation & handheld games in the future.


YOUR statement was a wish... of all games.

 

[OortCloud]

As lots of people have stated it would nice if the hooks and levers that DLSS/FSR/XESS requires could be baked into DirectX etc. To try to accomplish this MS have been working on DirectSR for some time but I'm not sure it is being adopted?

Well, it has already been true & built into DX12 for 6 years with DirectML ..

DirectML is the backbone for what Jensen Huang demoed in his first ever RTX speech back at GDC back in 2018. (DLSS upscaling was built around Microsoft's DirectML and newer GPU will make more efficient use of stuff like this, & Vulkan.)



As well as DirectSR:

“It was a pleasure to collaborate with Microsoft on the design and development of DirectSR as a way to unify developer access to super resolution technologies across all platforms. We are excited to have AMD FSR 2.2 delivered as a built-in implementation in DirectSR as part of this preview release.”
– Andrej Zdravkovic, Senior Vice President of GPU Technologies and Engineering Software, and Chief Software Officer at AMD

“Intel strongly endorses Microsoft’s DirectSR specification, and the collaborative efforts involved in its creation – it simplifies the lives of game developers and ensures more gamers will experience Intel’s XeSS up-scaling technology on Intel GPUs.”
– Alexander Kharlamov, Senior Director, Intel GPU Rendering

“NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution is available in over 400 titles and has become a standard feature for gamers. We are excited to give developers even more ways to bring DLSS to the next generation of games.”
– Jason Paul, Vice President, GeForce Platform Marketing at NVIDIA

YOUR statement was a wish... of all games.

If it worked for all games, as YOU claim, why would they need to list any games at all? Answer? They would not. They would simply say that the feature is ready for prime-time use. But that's not what they said. They listed games specifically.

So you were saying what now?

I say that you are incapable of understanding hardware features and software features and making a joke of yourself, even though it was explained to you many times ovr.

In your eyes, you believe that a Game Developer needs to take 20 year old games and redo them, so that all games have new features.. so that people do not have to buy new video cards. If not new, then at least a GTX1080ti to run FSR on games.


You are incapable of understanding FSR4 is not FSR and that fsr4 is hardware based, but FSR is software based and work on all modern games.

FSR4 will work on all future games..

 

[ZedRM]

FSR4 will work on all future games..

But not ALL games. Thus we circle around to my original statement of,

Here's an idea. AMD should come up with a way to apply this to ALL games instead of a select few. Nvidia and Intel too. Until then, I could not care less about this type of feature.

And this is where we are.

FSR does not work for all games. It should. That is the point.

C'mon, your wish was for ALL GAMES ..!
That means 25 year old games, it means console games, that mean ALL GAMES!

I pointed out how unrealistic your wish was, and that if u want to bend your wish into reality, FSR does exactly what you wanted.... (nearly) all games.


I did my due-diligence and explained to you how unrealistic YOUR WISH was and further went on to explain software base solution and hardware base solutions. (bcz what game are u actually playing, that doesn't support fsr?)

You made a funny wish that was wholly unrealistic and I pointed out the closest thing to that reality (FSR)... and u baulked!


We done?
