AMD has officially rolled out FSR 4.1 support for Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs ahead of schedule, bringing machine‑learning upscaling to RDNA 3 hardware through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver update released on June 22 2026. The update delivers sharper visuals and up to 50 % higher frame rates in supported games, marking a major leap for AMD’s mid‑generation cards.
🚀 What’s New in FSR 4.1 for RX 7000
- Early release: Arrived eight days before AMD’s July target, bundled with Adrenalin 26.6.2.
- Machine‑learning upscaling: Uses an INT8‑optimized neural network retrained for RDNA 3 GPUs, matching RDNA 4’s image quality despite lacking FP8 hardware.
- Performance boost: Example — Crimson Desert at 4K on RX 7900 XTX jumps from 43 FPS (native) to 64 FPS (FSR 4.1 active).
- Game coverage: Over 300 titles already support the feature, including Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and Doom: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
- Driver access: Available via AMD Adrenalin software or AMD’s official support page.
