Summary

AMD's Redstone enhances AI upscaling and frame generation.
New features like Radiance Caching improve ray tracing.
Redstone technology aims for console integration, including PlayStation.

AMD is aggressively positioning its new 'Redstone' technology as a direct competitor to Nvidia's DLSS, focusing on advanced AI upscaling and a new machine learning-powered frame generation. This update aims to provide significantly smoother gameplay and reduced latency, as demonstrated by improved shadow rendering in F1 24.

The Redstone update also introduces 'Radiance Caching' and 'Ray Regeneration' features designed to enhance ray tracing performance by improving lighting realism. These enhancements, along with FSR 4, require users to enable them within AMD's software and individual game settings.

While Redstone-specific features are available in over 200 PC games, AMD is also collaborating with console manufacturers. PlayStation has already integrated FSR 4, with potential for future enhancements like PSSR on the PS5 Pro and Redstone on the rumored PlayStation 6, signaling a future where software plays a larger role in gaming performance.
