AMD is bringing FSR 4.1 to the Xbox Ally handhelds, and this includes the ROG Xbox Ally, the ROG Xbox Ally X, and the newly released ROG Xbox Ally X20 model that is essentially the same as the Ally X, but with some tweaks like an OLED panel display, a swappable d-pad, and few more touches.
AMD FSR 4.1 will also be coming to other hardware. AMD’s FSR, otherwise known as FidelityFX Super Resolution software, is like AMD’s version of NVIDIA DLSS software, and it’s intended to help boost performance in games by upscaling graphics fidelity while also boosting frame rates, allowing for better looking visuals and smoother gameplay. AMD has officially confirmed the update will be coming to these handhelds, but it has not confirmed an actual date for the update rollout.
AMD says FSR 4.1 will be coming to more than just the Xbox Ally handhelds
It isn’t just the ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and ROG Xbox Ally X20 that are getting this update. According to a report from Windows Central, AMD is also planning to push this update out and bring FSR 4.1 to the base model ROG Ally handhelds, and the latest Xbox consoles that include the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
The report states that it should be reaching the Xbox Ally handhelds “before the end of the year.” The Xbox consoles, however, don’t have a more clear cut time frame. They’re just listed as “coming soon.” The partnership was announced by AMD early morning on October 20. The company says it has worked closely with partners like ASUS and Xbox to fine-tune and tighten the models used in FSR so that gamers receive a better overall gaming experience, no matter where they choose to play. In one of AMD’s examples, it shows side by side comparisons of Blood of Dawnwalker running on FSR 3.1 and FSR 4.1, with the latter improving frame rates by about 9 points, going from 54fps to 63fps, while also delivering sharper image details and better reconstruction in motion.
