Valve says it’s collaborating with AMD to bring FSR 4 upscaling to the Steam Machine, promising better motion quality and AI-assisted frame generation with a “coming soon” timeline; the $1,049 Steam Machine could gain a competitive edge over PS5 if the upgrade lands as hoped, though timing isn’t announced.
Valve's Proton Experimental adds support for AMD's FSR 4 on RDNA 3 GPUs (RX 7000 series) under Linux via VKD3D-Proton, delivering an early, experimental preview of the AI upscaler with performance/compatibility varying by title.
Sapphire launches the RX 9070 GRE Pulse, a mainstream RDNA 4 Navi 48 XL-based card with 3,072 stream processors and 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus (432 GB/s). Priced from $550, the GRE edition slots between the RX 9060 XT and RX 9070, offering a cut-down Navi 48 configuration. It introduces on‑chip AI accelerators that power FSR 4 and frame generation to close the gap with DLSS, with support for PCIe 5.0 x16, DisplayPort 2.1a, and a dual‑fan Pulse cooler. AMD promotes significant RT gains and AI-enabled upscaling across 300+ games. The review covers specs, positioning, and expected performance, efficiency, and feature set for a mid-range gaming card.
Digital Foundry’s tests of the PS5 Pro’s upgraded PSSR2 show significantly crisper, more stable visuals with fewer artefacts across Silent Hill f, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The improvements address earlier issues like RTGI pulsing and foliage noise, with texture detail and edges looking better while frame rates remain comparable to the older implementation; results appear to depend on developer-upgraded builds rather than a system-wide toggle. The testing reinforces that PSSR2 moves PS5 Pro closer to Sony’s original promise, though questions remain about future ML features and cross-title consistency.
A new rumor claims Sony plans a major PSSR upgrade for the PS5 Pro by March, introducing an FSR4-like upscaler and AI-driven image quality improvements that could boost visuals and frame rates, including for backwards-compatible PS4 titles; no official confirmation yet, so treat as speculative.
