AMD is bringing FSR 4.1 to Xbox consoles and handhelds — will it be enough to beat XeSS 3 or DLSS?
AMD just announced that FSR 4.1 support is coming to Xbox consoles and the Xbox Ally.
AMD has announced that its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4.1 technology will be available on Xbox consoles, handheld devices, and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 and Ryzen AI Max graphics cards. FSR is AMD's version of NVIDIA's DLSS and Intel's XeSS 3, utilizing machine learning to optimize performance by rendering games at a lower resolution and then generating a higher-quality image using AI.
This update marks a significant improvement over previous versions of FSR, which did not employ machine learning for performance optimization. The company is partnering with Microsoft to bring FSR 4.1 to the Xbox Series X, Series S, and the Xbox Ally X and X20. However, the release date for this feature has not been announced. Additionally, FSR 4.1 will be available on AMD Ryzen AI 9-powered laptops and gaming handhelds powered by Ryzen Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2A processors.
This move is seen as a necessary update to compete with NVIDIA's DLSS 4.5 and potentially close the gap against native rendering technology.
