Update: Hardware leaker Kepler_L2, usually well informed on AMD console plans, claims that FSR Diamond is indeed exclusive to RDNA5.
Advanced Marketing Disasters strikes again.
/Not in a hurry to buy a new card anyway. But so far Radeon is still the less shitty option. But as a former somewhat fanboi it still hurts how the keep on fumbling their messaging for decades now. ffs
Would be hilarious for AMD to have overtaken Intel in CPU just for Intel to overtake AMD on GPUs. Competition is good for us consumers.
Yeah, looks like the 9070xt will be the last AMD card I’ll be buying.
What a slap in the face to those who buy their GPU’s and giving away the only competitive advantage they had over Nvidia.
Given the history of bugs in the RDNA architecture, could it not be reasonable to assume these latter FSR features don’t run on the old architecture?
They are ML models after all. RDNA 3 to 4 saw FSR throughput double so I wouldn’t be surprised these new models need more CUs than available on previous cards.
Seems silly to pitchfork right now based on a rumour with little substance.
Given this history that FSR 4 was proven to have been able to be supported in RDNA 3 and 2 via a unintentional commit by AMD and the intrepid open source community implemented FSR 4 on these cards giving them much improved visual quality with a minor loss in frame rate and that this rumour is coming from a reliable source that has a history of being correct with their leaks, I’m inclined to distrust this corporation and start sharpening my tines.
And don’t get me started on how AMD has dropped linux support, another competitive advantage, and we’re relying on open source coders to give us FSR 4 capability while Nvidia, the current god father of fucking over gamers, has been increasing linux driver support.
But hey, we all have our opinions based on our observations.
