Does FSR 4 work on Radeon RX 7000 cards?

What you need

• A Radeon RX 7000 Series card or newer. AMD lists FSR Upscaling as available exclusively on the RX 7000 and RX 9000 Series.
• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 or newer — that is the release that added FSR Upscaling 4.1 for RX 7000 cards.
• On Windows 10, Adrenalin 26.7.1 or newer. 26.7.1 fixed intermittent crashes in some games with FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on RX 7000 cards under Windows 10.
• A game that already integrates AMD FSR 3.1 or higher. The driver upgrades an existing FSR 3.1 integration; it cannot add FSR to a game that lacks it.
• For an upgrade to ML-based frame generation rather than upscaling, the game needs AMD FSR 3.1.4 or higher — and a card AMD lists for that feature, which RX 7000 is not.

Supported on

• Radeon RX 7000 Series (RDNA 3) — ML-based upscaling only
• Radeon RX 9000 Series (RDNA 4) — the full FSR "Redstone" suite
• Windows 11 with Adrenalin 26.6.2 or newer
• Windows 10 with Adrenalin 26.7.1 or newer

Limitations

• Only the upscaler travels down a generation. AMD's hardware matrix lists ML-based upscaling for RX 7000 Series and above, but ML-based frame generation and ML-based ray regeneration for RX 9000 Series and above.
• Radeon RX 6000 Series (RDNA 2) is not supported today. AMD says support for RX 6000 graphics is launching in 2027, so any guide telling you it works now is wrong.
• The name changed. FSR 4 is now called FSR Upscaling, which is the label to look for in AMD Software — though AMD notes some game menus still show the old FSR 4 name.
• A game stuck on FSR 3.0 or older cannot be upgraded from the driver at all. FSR 3.1 is the floor.
• The feature has two separate switches: the AMD Software toggle and the game's own FSR setting. Turning on only one leaves you on the old upscaler with no error to tell you so.

How to set it up

1. Update to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 or newer — and 26.7.1 or newer if you are on Windows 10, where earlier builds could crash some games with FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled.
2. Close the game completely. AMD's own instructions have you change these settings with the game not running.
3. Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, select the Gaming tab, then the Graphics sub tab to reach the global graphics settings.
4. Turn on the AMD FSR Upscaling toggle. AMD also recommends enabling Radeon Anti-Lag 2 in games that support it.
5. Launch the game and turn on AMD FSR 3.1 in its own graphics or video options if it is not already on, then pick the upscaling quality preset you want there. The driver upgrades that integration to the ML-based upscaler.

Known problems

• The FSR setting in a game's menu still reads "AMD FSR 4" rather than "FSR Upscaling". AMD documents this as expected in some titles — it is the same feature under its old name.
• Games crash intermittently with FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on an RX 7000 card under Windows 10. AMD fixed this in Adrenalin 26.7.1; update if you are on an earlier build.
• The AMD FSR Upscaling toggle appears to do nothing. The usual cause is a game that integrates FSR 3.0 or older, which cannot be upgraded, or the in-game FSR 3.1 option still being switched off.
• ML-based frame generation stays unavailable no matter what you toggle. On RX 7000 this is intended: AMD lists that feature for RX 9000 Series and above.

Alternatives

• FSR 3 frame generation: RX 7000 cannot use the ML-based frame generation in FSR "Redstone", but AMD's matrix lists FSR 3 frame generation as supported on RX 5000 Series and above — so RDNA 3 still has a frame generation path, just not the ML one.
• Staying on FSR 3.1: The upgrade is a toggle, not a one-way door. If you prefer how a game looks or runs on its stock FSR 3.1 integration, turn AMD FSR Upscaling back off and the game reverts to it.
• A Radeon RX 9000 Series card: The only way to get the rest of FSR "Redstone" — ML-based frame generation, ray regeneration and radiance caching — since AMD lists those for RX 9000 and above.
