Valve updated the Steam Machine listing to drop the 4K 60 FPS claim, now saying it supports up to 4K with FSR 4.1. Independent tests show the entry‑level Zen 4/ RDNA 3 hardware struggles to sustain 4K60 in demanding titles without upscaling or frame generation, limiting 60 FPS performance to lighter titles or with aggressive upscaling.
Valve quietly updated the Steam Machine product page to drop the bold claim of 4K gaming at 60 FPS with FSR, replacing it with “Up to 4K gaming with FSR 4.1,” and coinciding with the end of Steam Machine pre-orders, signaling a tempered stance on real-world performance versus initial marketing.
AMD has released FSR Upscaling 4.1 for RDNA 3 GPUs, starting with the Radeon RX 7000 series alongside the Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, claiming support for over 300 games and visual parity with RDNA 4’s FSR 4.1. Because RDNA 3 uses INT8 instead of FP8, AMD had to rewrite the 4.1 model for this generation, with ongoing work to optimize RDNA 3 APUs and potential RDNA 3.5 support; this marks a first step toward bringing FSR 4 across RDNA generations and suggesting future updates.
Valve’s Proton Experimental leak hints that FSR 4.1.1 INT8 can run on RDNA 3.5 GPUs (including RX 7800 XT) and even RDNA 2 cards, using a workaround with a signed amdxcffx64.dll and OptiScaler to enable FSR4Update in OptiScaler.ini. The Radeon 890M iGPU reportedly works too, but AMD has not officially confirmed RDNA 3.5 support for FSR 4.1, and artifacts or instability may occur on some GPUs. This is a leak, not official release.
AMD says FSR 4.1 will arrive on older Radeon RX GPUs, starting with RDNA 3 this July and extending to RX 7000-series and older cards with optimized memory use and fewer artifacts, aiming for 300+ supported games at launch; RDNA 2 GPUs will get it in early 2027.
AMD will bring its FSR 4.1 AI upscaling to older GPUs, with RDNA3 cards getting the upgrade in July and RDNA2 support arriving in early 2027. The expansion covers 300+ games (including Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows) and will extend to devices like the Steam Deck, after AMD tuned and tested the model across hundreds of PC configurations to run on older hardware.
AMD will broaden FSR 4.1 support beyond its latest RDNA 4 cards, bringing it to RDNA3-based Radeon 7000 GPUs in July and to RDNA2-based Radeon 6000 GPUs in 2027 via a phased rollout. The upgrade promises better motion detail, RT denoising, and a more capable Ultra Performance mode, with initial titles including Forza Horizon 6, Death Stranding 2, and Crimson Desert as benchmarks for the new features.
