AMD is currently deploying the Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1 driver for the recent Radeon RX 9000 graphics cards. This new update brings official support for the very popular title Crimson Desert. The brand also announces the integration of the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology.
This software deployment includes support for the game Death Stranding 2 On The Beach. The main novelty remains the FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.1 strictly exclusive to the RX 9000 series chips. This iteration improves the sharpness of images rendered by machine learning during fast camera movements. It comes with the Ray Regeneration 1.1 feature to optimize shadows and global lighting. The Ultra Performance mode also benefits from a measurable smoothness gain. The company also addresses several significant software malfunctions. Developers have resolved crashes on Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing enabled. Keyboard control losses disappear. The issue with Noise Suppression tool on RX 6000 architectures finally finds a solution.
The official document lists a few known defects still under investigation. Players of Battlefield 6 may experience sudden game closures. Similar crashes affect games like Death Stranding 2 and RoadCraft on certain graphics cards. The manufacturer is working closely with different studios to provide quick software fixes. FSR 4.1 shares common technical bases with the PSSR 2 solution developed for Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro console. This synergy between the console market and the PC ecosystem accelerates the improvement of graphics components.
And what about those who want to use the latest version of FSR technology on an older AMD graphics card? Manufacturers systematically reserve the latest versions of these advanced algorithms for their most recent hardware architectures, here the RX 9000. But the FSR 4 (not 4.1) has just been announced on the RX 6000 by the community tool Optiscaler. This independent program allows users to activate version 4 of FSR with the latest update of this utility. It also eliminates the need to modify system files.
