- AMD has accidentally filtered the source code for FSR 4
- The tracks within that code suggest that it could be working to take FSR 4 to the oldest Radeon GPUs
- It is feasible that this may happen, and it seems that AMD is certainly trying to make it work
It seems that AMD has accidentally published the complete source code for FSR 4, and the tracks within that code represent an exciting clue that the newest photograms speed impulse could reach the oldest Radeon GPUs.
The Tom Hardware informs that the erroneous spill of the Network team was part of the launch of a new version of its Fidelitysdk, and that Videcardz initially picked it up and some people with enthusiastic eyes in X. We know that it was an error as AMD quickly retracted the material (not before it was very trained, although, however, discharged by many good things).
As you will know, currently FSR 4 is only for RX 9000 GPU: it helps the latest AMD Run Games graphics cards more without problems, but within the source code that was briefly exposed there is a considerable clue that the network equipment could be considering taking technology to the RX 7000 models.
This suggestion consists of the FSR 4 source code that seems to have int8 support, or at least work on that, together with the existing FP8 support. We do not need to enter the weeds with what these terms mean, since it becomes very technological and involved.
All you really need to know is that FP8 workloads can be cut much more quickly with current generation cards thanks to their reinforced AI accelerators that are designed for these tasks, and in theory, the presence of INT8 would be to facilitate the better work with RX 7000 graphics cards (it would not be relevant to RX 9000 GPU).
As Leaker Uzzi38 expresses in X, this is: “Sure confirmation that AMD was interested in creating a diluted version of the less capable hardware model.”
Analysis: A broader implementation of FSR 4 makes sense
So what does all this mean? Well, as Uzzi38 points out, it seems to confirm that AMD has at least experienced with FSR 4 that is executed in past generation generation graphics cards (which would surely be RX 7000 models).
Although FSR 4 is still exclusive to RDNA 4 graphics cards, and it was the first version of the impulse of AMD frames impulse to take this route, bringing AI (automatic learning) for refinements, there is no reason why you cannot technically run the oldest GPUs. The problem is whether you can execute Well (or at least decently), And what performance levels can players witness on an RX 7000 card.
Then, AMD has apparently been taking a turn, or it can currently be in the process of implementing it (or trying, anyway). I think this is likely to be in process, since Linux experiments suggest that FSR 4 could work well in the RX 7000 GPUs, and it also makes sense that the network equipment wants this technology to be more widely widely in time. When AMD has more new advances for the GPUs of the current generation list for use, FSR Redstone is on the horizon by the end of this year, the idea can be FSR of drip feed 4 until the next level of Radeon graphics cards.
As for how this could be shaken, the key is obviously if AMD can ensure that FSR 4 is sufficiently played in these latest generation GPUs, or if it does not have to dilute too much in terms of the resulting image quality that players are obtaining.
However, even if there is a performance success, players can take compensation to improve the quality and details of the image, together with the reduction of ghosts and spots, and other artifacts, which FSR 4 offers about their predecessor FSR 3.
In summary, this could be really big for PC players with RX 7000 graphics cards, or it could be a hamburger of nothing. I lean that the first is the most likely result here, but obviously I take it with the stacked seasoning.
