AMD has released FSR 4 - the latest generation of its upscaling technology, which drastically boosts frame rates. The problem? Officially, FSR 4 launched only on the RX 9000 series (RDNA 4). The RX 7000 series got FSR 4.1 in June 2026 (Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver), and the RX 6000 series is not due to get it until early 2027. But there's a way to get it working on Radeon 6000 series cards right now. Here's a step-by-step guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FSR 4 on Radeon RX 6000: How to Enable FSR Upscaling on an Older GPU<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is FSR 4 (FSR Upscaling)?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 - now simply referred to as <strong>\u201cFSR Upscaling\u201d<\/strong> <strong>\u201eFSR Upscaling\u201c<\/strong> - is the latest generation of machine learning-based image upscaling. Instead of rendering the game at full resolution, the engine renders frames at a lower resolution, and then a neural network reconstructs the details, producing an image comparable in quality to the native resolution while maintaining significantly higher performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Additional <strong>10-70% FPS<\/strong>, depending on the game and scaling settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality close to native quality in Quality mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Balance - the golden mean between efficiency and quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance - Maximum Frame Rate When Every FPS Counts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For gamers with Radeon RX 6000 (RDNA2) cards - which still perform well in games but can't keep up with newer titles - this is a real opportunity to extend the card's lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AMD FSR 4.1 - Official Support Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2025, AMD unveiled FSR 4 as a technology exclusive to its latest graphics cards. We\u2019ll still have to wait for the official update that extends support to the Radeon RX 6000 series, but we have a working solution for you right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">However, simply updating the driver isn't enough. For FSR 4 to work in games that support DX12, you need the correct version of the file <code>amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll<\/code>. This is where the <strong>OptiScaler<\/strong> project comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The DLL Swap Method - How to Enable FSR 4 on the RX 6000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method involves replacing a single DLL file in the game folder. It does not require installing any additional programs or modifying the registry. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Find the game and the path to the file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locate the main directory containing the game that supports DirectX 12. An example is <strong>The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/strong> - a game in which we tested the method, and it works great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>C:\/Program Files\/Steam\/steamapps\/common\/[GAME]\/bin\/amd64\/ [or any other folder containing the file originally]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Download the amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll file (OptiScaler)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/cXJ6XxQU8G\" title=\"FSR4 Download File is on our Discord.\">FSR4 Download File is on our Discord.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Search for the channel containing the files and download the latest version <code>amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll<\/code> from the OptiScaler package. The latest known version is <strong>FSR 4.1.1b<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Back up the original<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Never skip this step.<\/strong> Before replacing the file, copy the original <code>amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll<\/code> to a separate folder - for example, on the Desktop, in a directory <code>backup_dll<\/code>If something goes wrong, you'll return to the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Replace the file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copy the downloaded file from OptiScaler to the game folder (where the original file is located). The file name must remain the same <code>amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Launch the game and check the settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the game's graphics settings. If FSR 4 is installed correctly, you should see new scaling options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quality<\/strong> - the highest image quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balance<\/strong> - a trade-off between quality and FPS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Performance<\/strong> - maximum number of frames<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benchmark Tests - The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The game <strong>The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/strong> was selected for testing because it is a newer title that puts a heavy load on the graphics card. After replacing the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At the \u201cQuality\u201d settings, the frame rate improvement was visible to the naked eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The balance ensured smooth gameplay without any noticeable loss of quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The performance improvements have made the game much more responsive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game looks great with FSR 4 - AMD's neural network handles image reconstruction better than previous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DLL swap method is relatively safe, provided that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You're making a backup<\/strong> the original file - always<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Download files <strong>only from trusted sources<\/strong> (such as our Discord)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The game does not use anti-cheat software that can detect modifications to game files<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful when playing multiplayer games with anti-cheat software (VAC, Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.). There's no problem in single-player mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary - FSR 4 works on the RX 6000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a Radeon 6000 series graphics card and want to play the latest games without constant FPS drops, FSR 4 is a viable option. The DLL swap method using the OptiScaler file is the easiest way to access this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\"><strong>Remember:<\/strong> You can find the AMD FidelityFX Upscaler DX12 file from OptiScaler at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/cXJ6XxQU8G\" title=\"UltimateMove Discord\" target=\"_self\">UltimateMove Discord<\/a><\/strong>.

AMD has announced official RX 6000 support for early 2027. Until then, OptiScaler's DLL swap method gets FSR 4 running on the 6000 series (RDNA2). FSR 4 does not work on NVIDIA cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which games support FSR 4?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> The list of supported titles grows with every update. For now, this works for games that have built-in FSR 4 integration in their engine - such as *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. AMD provides plugins for Unreal Engine 5, so more and more games will support FSR 4 natively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I undo a change to a DLL file?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Yes - that's exactly why you make a backup. Just copy the original amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll back into place. The game will revert to the default upscaling settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does FSR 4 work on NVIDIA graphics cards?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> No. FSR 4 uses a machine learning model that AMD makes available on Radeon cards only. GeForce cards are left with FSR 3.x, which runs on AMD, NVIDIA and Intel cards. That is why this guide covers Radeon cards only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the differences between FSR 3 and FSR 4?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> FSR 4 is a completely new architecture based on machine learning. Unlike FSR 3 (which used traditional algorithms), FSR 4 utilizes neural networks trained on millions of frames, resulting in significantly better image quality while maintaining the same FPS gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why didn't AMD release FSR 4 right away for the RX 6000 series?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> FSR 4 launched on the RDNA 4 architecture (RX 9000) because only RDNA 4 has the hardware the model needs to run optimally. Older generations need an INT8 version and instruction fallbacks. AMD released FSR 4.1 for the RX 7000 series in June 2026 and has announced official RX 6000 support for early 2027. The OptiScaler community had a working DLL for the RX 6000 ready earlier.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zauwa\u017cyli\u015bcie, \u017ce nowe gry wymagaj\u0105 coraz wi\u0119cej od kart graficznych?
