- The NVIDIA DLSS 4 has established the AMD FSR 4 bar, with its new transformer model
- The first look at FSR 4 in Performance mode is very promising
- Team Red may find it difficult to compete if the entire FSR 4 package is exclusive to DNA 4
Nvidia impressed me with its new DLSS 4 Transform model, which offers excellent image quality and stability even in “performance” super -resolution modes – and now, I really hope that AMD will be able to follow FSR 4 .
Based on my previous coverage concerning DLSS 4 improvements on several games, Team Red definitely has a great task to come to potentially compete with Nvidia in this space. At the time of writing the editorial moment, FSR 4 is only confirmed on the GPUs of DNA 4 (no news for again if it can be used on the GPUs of DNA 3), so it Can already be disadvantaged against DLSS 4 in terms of its ability to respond to the older GPUs, because the new NVIDIA scaling technology will be compatible with GPUs to the RTX 2000 series.
Taking the jump of DLSS 4 from CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) to the new higher transformer model in consideration, the Games will benefit from it, in particular in the event of bad optimization – while this should not give the developers of games an excuse for Release in the departmental optimization, it is difficult to deny how important it goes forward.
Demonstration images of the FSR 4 of AMD are already in the nature of these 2025, and an excellent example of this is the comparison video FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 not based on YouTube (available below). In the same way as DLSS 4 of Nvidia impressed me with its improved visual clarity with DLSS 4 in Performance mode, FSR 4 seems to follow these same steps – there is no longer any image frequency counter, so it is Difficult to judge how good this mode will be wise, but it is certainly a good sign.
To watch
If the FSR 4 of AMD approaches Nvidia’s DLSS 4, what does that mean in terms of competition?
In the event that FSR 4 goes from start to finish with DLSS 4, the only aspect that then prevents the red team from the competition would be the possible exclusivity of DNA 4. Although this can be summed up with the material limitations of the ‘Plein to operate on older GPUs, I have already held the same frustrations with Nvidia concerning the generation of frame of DLSS 3 exclusive to the GPUs of the RTX 4000 series – so the same case applies here.
In this case, it would be an even more important omission – we are not only talking about the generation of FSR 4 framework potentially exclusive to DNA 4, but the entire package which also includes its super -resolution technology.
As much as I absolutely want that AMD provides the necessary competition against Team Green on the GPU market, he has already declared that the accent will be placed on mid -range GPUs (which we do not really determine with the RX 9000 series) , and DLSS 4 will be available on all RTX GPUs – if we are honest, that will not help the position of AMD in this race …
