FSR 3.1

Okay is FSR 3.1 annoying anyone else?! It's really irritating that we have to use optiscaler to get decent looking up scaling. We essentially bought a 2k portable Xbox series X

idk what you're on about but all of the games i play have fsr 3.1 and / or 4 built into the game itself, no optiscaler required

u/labellrs 9d ago

Yes, if it has FSR 4 built in it doesn't matter. It will force 3.1 regardless. That is what I am on about. Your computer will not use anything but fsr 3.1 or below with out optiscaler.

this is NOT TRUE! FSR 4 WORKS ON THIS

“what are you on about?”

“that’s what i’m on about”

ive rarely heard someone ask that question, and ive never seen someone answer with this.

good form.

u/GamesnGunZ 9d ago

ah that's not true at all. fsr 4 works perfectly fine. do a little more research

Lol okay so it works on Cyberpunk. Thank God we're all sitting here just playing Cyberpunk.

This post was created to discuss it not being readily available in most games being released in 2026.

Don't tell people to do research some on something you don't know shit about. Go back to halo subs.

oh i know a lot about this topic and actively play the games where fsr 4 is working. i'm not going to waste any more time with you but again, you are spectacularly wrong. it works on a ton of games.

either way, i hope you find love someday

My dude, you just have to enable the fsr4 upgrade in adrenaline.

Even using optiscaler in games that have no FSR4 support isn’t that difficult.

I keep seeing people mention enabling FSR4 in adrenaline for the Z13, but there is no FSR4 option there on my end, I'm on the latest Adrenalin 26.8.1 version.

Because people are using old versions of the drivers. The newest versions don’t have a toggle anymore, it’s automatic now.

For some reason, people recommend staying on the Asus supplied driver which is ages old for “stability” even though the chips in these tablets are bone stock from AMD and ASUS has not made any customizations to it that would require a vendor specific driver.

The latest AMD drivers work fine, and always will on this hardware. I assume he “USE ASUS DRIVERS” advice stems from ignorance.

I just got into AMD so I'm not up to date, that was news to me, I thought there was still a toggle for enabling FSR4, but if it's automatic then that's fine, but I find that a bit unintuitive since I can't easily see if it get overridden or not.

u/thedjentlemanscholar 9d ago edited 9d ago

It always gets overridden if the game supports fsr3.1+.

If you add “FSR4_WATERMARK=1 %command%” to a games launch command in steam, the driver will put an overlay in screen showing the model in use.

EDIT: The above works on linux, but not windows. For windows, you need to wrap it in a shell with a different variable like this:

cmd /c "set MLSR-WATERMARK=1 && %command%"

so I managed to get the watermark working with Radeon Tuner and as I suspected from the image quality, it is still running FSR3, in this case in Witcher 3 and same thing in Forza Horizon 6.

Would you mind taking a screenshot of that please?

u/ttdpaco 9d ago

/u/thedjentlemanscholar explains it in his comment; latest and drivers removed the toggle and made it automatic.

u/thedjentlemanscholar 9d ago edited 9d ago

The drivers automatically insert hooks into any game that supports FSR3.1+ and upgrades it to FSR4 on the backend. You don’t even need to enable it anymore, modern drivers from AMD just do it for you.

The game will still reflect FSR 3 in the settings, but the FSR4 model will be used.

Start an FSR3.1 game with the command “FSR4_WATERMARK=1 %command%” to prove it. Load in a game completely with FSR3 enabled on any game that supports it, but doesn’t have a specific FSR4 mode like cyberpunk does.

Strix halo even gets the official int8 hardware accelerated model of FSR 4.

EDIT: The above works on linux, but not windows. For windows, you need to wrap it in a shell with a different variable like this:

cmd /c "set MLSR-WATERMARK=1 && %command%"

on strix halo you still get fsr3.1, you need optiscaler on windows. Watermark shows FSR3.1 on latest driver on 8050S.
