AMD’s Adrenalin Edition 26.10.1 release notes, updated October 20, 2026, list support for AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 on Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics products. That is useful news for owners of older Radeon cards, but the important detail is the word “Upscaling”: it should not be read as a promise that every FSR feature, including Frame Generation, is available on these GPUs.

Quick takeaway: check the official driver notes, confirm that your game supports the relevant FSR upscaling option, and test image quality and performance in your own settings. Results vary by game, resolution, preset and system configuration.

What did AMD announce?

AMD’s Adrenalin Edition 26.10.1 release notes list AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 support for Radeon RX 6000 Series products. The release notes are the primary source for the driver-specific compatibility claim.

AMD describes FidelityFX Super Resolution as a collection of technologies intended to improve gaming performance and/or image quality. The exact feature available depends on the game and the specific FSR technology implemented. See AMD’s FSR technology overview and supported-games list.

What does upscaling do?

Upscaling starts with a game image rendered at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs it for a higher-resolution output. Depending on the game and settings, this can help improve performance while keeping the image looking detailed. It is not a guaranteed FPS boost, and visual results can differ from one title to another.

Does this mean RX 6000 gets every FSR 4 feature?

No—do not assume that. Upscaling and Frame Generation are different technologies. The 26.10.1 release note specifically identifies FSR Upscaling 4.1 support for Radeon RX 6000 Series. It does not, by itself, establish support for every feature in AMD’s broader FSR technology family on those cards. Always check the exact feature and GPU compatibility notes for your game and driver.

How to check whether it works on your PC

1. Confirm the exact Radeon graphics card model in Windows or AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.
2. Read the official 26.10.1 release notes and use AMD’s official driver download page to find the appropriate driver for your card and operating system.
3. Check the game’s graphics settings and AMD’s supported-games information to see which FSR version and features that title implements.
4. Test a consistent scene at your usual resolution. Compare image quality and performance with the feature enabled and disabled rather than relying on a universal FPS claim.
5. If you use a laptop or a system supplied by an OEM, check the manufacturer’s support guidance before changing drivers.

Important: this article explains the release-note update; it is not a benchmark. We have not measured FPS gains across individual games or configurations, so no specific performance increase is claimed here.

What should Radeon RX 6000 owners do?

If your game exposes the relevant FSR Upscaling 4.1 option and your driver supports it, it is worth testing. If the option does not appear, check the game version, in-game implementation, driver installation and GPU-specific support information. Do not assume that installing a driver alone adds the same features to every game.
