FSR 4 mod for unsupported video games will get examined, reveals “insane” enchancment over 3.1

Lately, we got here throughout a device referred to as OptiScaler that primarily permits FSR 4 in unsupported titles, so long as the sport helps DLSS 2 (or newer) or Intel’s XeSS. This FSR 4 mod was created in response to the restricted early assist for FSR 4-supported titles, as video games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Fable: Wukong, that are notoriously recognized for his or her poor FSR implementation, have been nowhere to be discovered on the record.

Now that the device is moving into the arms of avid gamers and tech fanatics, we’re beginning to see it in motion on the most recent 9000 sequence GPUs. Since FSR 4 is at present unique to the RX 9070 XT and 9070, this mod additionally requires you to have the most recent RDNA 4 GPUs. That mentioned, the outcomes come from tech YouTuber Historical Gameplays, who examined OptiScaler in numerous AAA titles to match the official in-game implementation of FSR 3.1 towards a modded FSR 4.

Picture stability with FSR 4 mod is significantly better than FSR 3.1

The primary recreation in line was Cyberpunk 2077, however for the reason that recreation doesn’t assist FSR 3.1, Historical Gameplays had to make use of OptiScaler to power that as nicely. And whereas the outcomes have been significantly better than utilizing the in-game supported FSR 3, there have been nonetheless noticeable points with pixelation and heavy shimmering, even with FSR 3.1. Nonetheless, with the FSR 4 mod, the outcomes have been miles forward. Picture stability was much better, with no ghosting, pixelation, or shimmering, and even FPS noticed a strong 20+ common enhance.

One other title the place pixelation and shimmering points have been noticeable was Silent Hill 2, the place utilizing FSR 3.1 didn’t have a lot of an impression on total picture stability. However, utilizing FSR 4 fully eradicated the bizarre shimmering situation on the window, however solely when the in-game setting was set to DLSS. Now, deciding on DLSS means the sport is rendering with NVIDIA’s pipeline, which OptiScaler then converts to FSR 4, permitting for higher picture stability and fewer visible artifacts in comparison with utilizing FSR instantly.

No extra upscaling compromises with AMD

That mentioned, that is only a modded implementation of FSR 4, which implies that if we’re seeing such good outcomes right here, correctly supported titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man sequence ought to ship even higher picture high quality. The exams above present that utilizing this modded FSR 4, even at efficiency settings, gives much better visuals than FSR 3.1 or beneath at high quality settings.

With such sturdy upscaling efficiency and uncooked capabilities, it is no shock that even retailers with comparatively wholesome inventory are working out of those GPUs, and hopefully, AMD can replenish inventory quickly. Make sure to control our RX 9070 & RX 9070 XT inventory tracker.
