AMD officially releases FSR Redstone: supports more than 100 games and improves performance by an average of 3.5 times

AMD has officially released its FSR major update Redstone, which fully introduces machine learning (ML) capabilities for the new RX 9000 RDNA 4 series graphics cards.

FSR Redstone mainly includes four major functions:

ML Upscaling machine learning super-resolution improvement

ML Frame Generation machine learning frame generation

ML Ray RegenerationMachine learning light regeneration

ML Radiance Caching Machine Learning Radiance Caching

Among them, the AMD FSR radiometric cache is based on the real-time radiometric cache of neural networks, which can accelerate ray tracing and reduce cache time. It is currently open to developers and will be available in games in 2026.

AMD FSR light regeneration is based on a neural network denoiser, suitable for ray tracing and path tracing, which can help achieve realistic lighting and reflection effects. It is currently available in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" and will be supported by more games in the future.

As for AMD FSR super-resolution enhancement, it is developed based on the AMD RNDA4 architecture and can achieve near-native image quality with low-resolution frames. This feature can be enabled through AMD software drivers or in-game integration.

AMD said that in "Mafia: Hometown", with the help of FSR super-resolution enhancement, the effect of 540p is greater than 1080p in performance mode can be achieved.

AMD FSR frame generation uses neural networks to train for the most complex scenes, which can effectively reduce temporal artifacts, make the picture more stable, and show better details in shadow areas. Unfortunately, AMD has not yet mentioned the multi-frame generation function.

Currently, more than 170 games support AMD FSR Redstone, but it should be noted that not all games support all four functions above.

As for the performance of FSR Redstone, according to AMD’s official measured data, when using FSR super-resolution enhancement, FSR frame generation, and FSR light regeneration,RX 9070 XT can achieve an average frame rate of 108FPS in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7", a performance improvement of 4.7 times.

On average, native 4K ray tracing performance has been improved by 3.5 times, and in "Cyberpunk 2077", the improvement has even reached 4.9 times.
