Recent analysis of FSR 4.1 and its potential on RDNA 2 GPUs supports the idea that Xbox could get a major power boost from the update. This could see the console improve to the point of it outperforming Sony’s (SONY) PlayStation 5 and possibly matching the PlayStation 5 Pro. While the PS5 and PS5 Pro also use AMD GPUs, reports don’t expect them to benefit as much as Xbox will from the update due to Sony’s focus on its own upscaling technology.
AMD’s decision to add FSR 4.1 support to older GPUs is welcome news for gamers. There have been calls for the upscaling technology to be added to previous generations of GPUs since it was revealed. This can help extend the life of these GPUs, which is important considering how expensive PC parts have become amid the AI boom.
