FSR 4: Compatible games, requirements, and how to activate it

With the arrival of AMD Adrenaline 25.9.1, the list of games compatible with FSR 4 get a good high: now The new version of scaling can be enabled in titles that already had FSR 3.1 and are running DirectX 12., without waiting for studio patches.

The update also adds Official support for Borderlands 4 and Hell Is Us and fixes bugs in several games. Everything is done from the AMD panel, with a switch for force FSR 4 over FSR 3.1 when the requirements are met.

What changes with Adrenalin 25.9.1

The key novelty is the option of “override” from FSR 3.1 to FSR 4 at the driver level: if the game already integrates FSR 3.1 and uses DirectX 12, the driver allows you to replace the game library with the most recent one, activating FSR 4 without touching the title files.

For it to work, the user must enable FSR 3.1 in-game and then turn the FSR 4 switch on AMD SoftwareThere's no official whitelist: AMD wants to allow any title that meets the requirements to be eligible.

There is also a black list Managed by AMD to avoid conflicts in online games, where anti-cheat systems could interpret library sharing as client manipulation.

With this method, the catalogue of games compatible with FSR 4 It now has more than 85 works, covering recent releases and projects already on the market that used FSR 3.1.

Requirements and compatible hardware

Although the driver can be installed on Radeon with RDNA architecture and later, FSR 4 activation is limited to AMD Radeon RX 9000 (RDNA 4). It is a hardware requirement: If you don't have an RX 9000, the FSR 4 switch won't be usable..

The correct flow would be: Gameplay in DX12 with FSR 3.1 enabled, Radeon RX 9000 GPU, and FSR 4 switch enabled in AMD panelWith that combination, the driver applies the new version of the library.

Those who want to update, should check if their card (and how much VRAM does it have) and your game meets all the points. Otherwise, FSR 4 will not activate and the title will continue to run on FSR 3.1.

Games that already benefit

AMD confirms that the listing exceeds the 85 compatible works through the driver, with specific support also for Borderlands 4 y Hell Is Us. Among the notable titles with FSR 3.1 on DX12 that can make the jump, we find examples such as F1 25, Mafia: The Old Country, the ages, Lies of P, Call of Duty: War zone, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, WUCCHANG: Fallen Feathers, Monster Hunter Wilds, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts legacy, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, The Finals, Silent Hill 2, star wars outlaws o The Last of Us Part II Remastered, among others.

In all cases the same rule applies: the game must have FSR3.1 and run with DX12If the title uses DX11 or Vulkan, it is not covered by this driver feature.

Included fixes and known bugs

In addition to the boost to FSR 4, Adrenalin 25.9.1 brings solutions to errors detected in some configurations and games. For example, graphical corruption is fixed in Mafia: The Old Country with certain RX 6600 and instability with WUCCHANG: Fallen Feathers on RX 9000.

The device detection like the PlayStation VR controllers in SteamVR, and the chance of crashes when saving games is reduced Monster Hunter Wilds with ray tracing enabled on select GPUs.

Even so, AMD maintains a list of pending problems which will be refined in future driver releases. It's recommended to check the official notes if you encounter strange behavior in specific games.

How to activate it and precautions

The process is simple: install Adrenaline 25.9.1, Enable FSR 3.1 in-game, make sure it's set to DirectX 12, and in the AMD panel, enable the FSR 4 switch.If everything fits, the driver will apply version 4 without further steps.

In multiplayer titles it is advisable to be cautious. AMD uses a blacklist to avoid clashes with anti-cheatlarvae, nymphs, and adults, so In some online games, library sharing will be blocked. to prevent possible sanctions.

There are third-party utilities, such as OptiScaler, and technologies such as Auto SR in Windows 11, that try to extend compatibility even further; use them at your own risk, because They are not officially supported and could cause instability or conflicts. with anti-cheat services.

This update puts the focus on expand the number of games that can use FSR 4 with a couple of clicks and improve overall stability, especially on newer releases that already came prepared with FSR 3.1.
