FSR 4.1 Update Boosts Image Quality Dramatically
28 Feb
Summary
- FSR 4.1 shows significant image quality improvements over previous versions.
- Improvements are most noticeable at lower resolutions like 1080p.
- New features primarily benefit RX 9000-series cards, with limited RX 7000 support.
A leaked beta DLL for AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4.1 indicates substantial enhancements in image quality, potentially making it a more competitive upscaling solution against Nvidia's offerings. Early tests suggest FSR 4.1 resolves considerably more detail than its predecessors, particularly on foliage and intricate textures, even at lower quality settings.
These improvements are especially pronounced at lower resolutions such as 1080p, a critical target for many gamers. The update demonstrates a dramatic quality leap, with Ultra Performance mode offering visual fidelity comparable to previous Quality modes. However, the full benefits of FSR 4.1 appear to be primarily restricted to AMD's RX 9000-series graphics cards, with less stable and guaranteed performance on RX 7000 series GPUs.
