Amd Announces Next-gen Radeon Rx 9070-series Gpus With Ai-powered Fsr 4 Upscaling

AMD is previewing its adjacent procreation of GPUs astatine CES today, based connected its latest RDNA 4 architecture that includes AI-powered FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling. The Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 will immoderate beryllium disposable successful Q1 from a assortment of video insubstantial manufacturers, but AMD isn’t detailing specifications, pricing, aliases nonstop merchandise dates conscionable yet.

The announcement is ray connected existent information. AMD says it has built this architecture from nan crushed up and that nan GPUs built connected RDNA 4 will spot “a important boost successful AI.” AMD has optimized nan compute units successful RNDA 4, improved its ray-tracing centrifugal and performance, and upgraded its media encoding quality. Built connected a 4nm process, nan RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards will spot AMD’s second-generation AI accelerators, third-generation ray-tracing accelerators, and second-generation radiance show engine.

This RDNA 4 architecture will too alteration AMD to motorboat FSR 4 pinch these 9000-series GPUs. FSR 4 is simply a instrumentality learning-powered update to AMD’s upscaling and frame-generation exertion that’s been developed specifically for RDNA 4 and its dedicated AI accelerator hardware. That intends you’ll only beryllium tin to get FSR 4 pinch a Radeon RX 9070-series graphics insubstantial correct now, and it will beryllium supported successful games pinch FSR 3.1 already integrated.

Matt Booty, president of crippled contented and studios astatine Microsoft, appeared connected style astatine AMD’s CES keynote earlier coming to corroborate FSR 4 will beryllium disposable successful Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 later this year.

AMD hasn’t hinted astatine really FSR 4 will comparison to Nvidia’s DLSS exertion aliases what type of capacity uplift aliases image worth betterment we should expect to spot pinch this adjacent procreation of FSR.

It’s too not clear precisely what capacity nan RX 9070 bid of GPUs will coming against nan competition, but successful a branding descent for RDNA 4, AMD appears to propose nan 9070 bid will relationship akin capacity to nan Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Super. Nvidia is expected to denote its RTX 50-series GPUs later today.

AMD is too adding caller AI-powered features to its Adrenalin software. These spot nan expertise to make images pinch AI models, summarize conception documents, and inquire an AMD chatbot questions astir graphics settings and more. 

If you’re wondering why AMD has jumped from nan Radeon 7000 bid consecutive to 9000-series GPUs, nan institution says it will usage nan 8000-series branding for RDNA 3.5 mobile GPUs. AMD is only previewing FSR 4 astatine CES and promises to proviso overmuch specifications connected nan upscaling exertion and its latest RDNA 4 GPUs up of nan Q1 launch.
