AMD rolls out FSR Redstone with latest Radeon graphics driver

Today, AMD officially released its new Radeon 25.12.1 graphics driver. This is a rather big update for Radeon graphics card users, as it is the first to implement support for the new FSR Redstone suite of features. 

Previously known as FSR 4, with this update, AMD is dropping ‘numbered' FSR releases from its portfolio. Moving forward, AMD will simply refer to FSR features by their proper names, so FSR Upscaling, FSR Frame Generation, FSR Ray Regeneration etc.

FSR Redstone is the first version of AMD's upscaling tech to make use of Machine Learning, bringing it closer to Nvidia's rival DLSS in how it functions. This should bring improvements to the visual presentation of upscaled FSR images and it should also bring a good boost to image quality for those using FSR Frame Generation.

On top of improved upscaling and frame generation, the new FSR feature suit also includes Ray Reconstruction to improve performance in supported ray-traced or path-traced games. In all, there will be around 200 titles supporting the latest FSR technologies, although you'll need at least an RX 9000 series graphics card to make full use of the new features.

Some of the confirmed supported titles include Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Cyberpunk 2077, Hell is Us, Mafia: The Old Country and even Grand Theft Auto V. In these games, RX 9070 XT users can expect an average performance boost of 3.5x when using FSR.
