AMD FSR 4.1 now works on RX 7000-series GPUs, Steam Machine and ROG Ally X support coming

AMD has rolled out FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics cards — the RX 7000 series, including popular cards like the RX 7800 XT and 7800 XTX — ahead of its original July estimate. The update arrives via Adrenalin driver version 26.2.2, which also adds game support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Doom: The Dark Ages | Revelations, though those are clearly the sideshow here.

FSR 4.1 is AMD's AI-powered upscaling tech, and it's a meaningful step up from FSR 3 — widely considered close to Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 in quality. It's also the same underlying technology powering Sony's PSSR 2 on the PlayStation 5 Pro. One caveat for RX 7000 owners: because RDNA 3 cards have significantly lower matrix operation throughput than RDNA 4 (RX 9000 series), the results won't be quite as sharp or as fast as on an RX 9070 XT. You'll still get a real performance boost, just not the full picture. To enable it, the game needs a native FSR 3.1 implementation, and you activate FSR 4.1 via an override in Adrenalin — it doesn't kick in automatically.

FSR 4.1 was previously exclusive to the RX 9070 and 9070 XT. Expanding it to RDNA 3 was something AMD committed to back in May, and it's delivered a few weeks early. Devices running RDNA 3.5 APUs — Valve's Steam Machine and the Xbox ROG Ally X — are also in line for FSR 4.1, though AMD is still developing lightweight AI models tuned for the lower memory bandwidth of those handheld and compact devices, with no firm release date beyond "coming soon." RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) users are on the list too, but they're looking at sometime in 2027.

Notably absent from the roadmap is Valve's Steam Deck, which uses an older AMD APU that won't be getting FSR 4.1 — a missed opportunity for a handheld that's already aging and has gotten more expensive. For everyone else on RDNA 3, though, this is a straightforward win: grab the 26.2.2 Adrenalin driver and the upgrade is right there.
