AMD FSR 4 Running On Radeon RX 6800 XT Gives Image Quality A Boost But At A Big Cost

Since the AMD FSR 4 INT8 DLL leak, we've known that it's possible to use FSR 4 on older GPU architectures than RDNA 4. Recently, we've actually seen successful use of FSR 4 on AMD's RDNA 2 architecture, after early efforts resulted in bugged visuals. Per a Reddit guide posted yesterday by user u/NaM_777, users of AMD RDNA 2 GPUs like the RX 6950 XT or 6800 XT will need to use the AMD Radeon 23.9.1 driver and not update they want to use FSR 4 in their games. This means that not only will AMD FSR 3 perform worse than FSR 2 or other upscalers on those GPUs, but performance updates, bug fixes and new features from the driver updates in the two years since won't be available to those users.

While these are indeed major downsides, the results with AMD ...
