A user from the Computer Base community discovered a method to enable AMD FSR 4 upscaling technology on Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards without performance loss. The technique requires swapping two files from an older Adrenalin driver into the latest version through manual extraction and replacement.

The new approach uses files from the Adrenalin 23.9.1 driver and eliminates frame rate degradation while maintaining visual quality comparable to the officially supported RX 9070 graphics card.
Testing with the RX 6800 showed that FSR 4 Native and Quality presets delivered image quality comparable to that of the RX...
