AMD’s FSR Redstone is finally here to take on Nvidia’s DLSS 4 — here’s everything you need to know

It was first announced way back at Computex 2025, but finally, AMD has launched FSR Redstone — its own platform of AI trickery to make supported PC games perform even better. This is Team Red’s effort to close in on the reigning champ of resolution scaling and frame generation: Nvidia’s DLSS 4.

So what does FSR Redstone do exactly? And how does it stack up to what Nvidia has cooked up? Let’s get into it.

What is AMD FSR Redstone? • FSR Redstone is now available via an AMD Adrenalin driver — available only on RX 9000 GPUs (like the RX 9070 XT I reviewed recently). • AI/machine learning-aided resolution scaling, ray tracing and frame generation.

In a way, Redstone is AMD realizing its initial approach wasn’t working — a plan B approach. You see, previous versions of FSR didn’t use mac
