The future of PC gaming will be AI-driven - AMD confirms machine learning FSR 4 for 2025, launching in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

AMD has confirmed it's moving intimately pinch Activision to bring nan FSR 4 upscaling instrumentality to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 successful 2025 - further clarifying nan purported displacement to AI for FSR.

This comes from Team Red’s Vice President, Jack Huynh, successful a video that unveils nan caller Ryzen 7 9800X3D (spoiler: nan rumors and spec leaks we reported earlier this week were accurate). In summation to nan caller chip, Huynh confirmed AMD’s plans to optimize FSR 3.1 further successful Black Ops 6. Following this, nan AMD VP mentioned a collaboration pinch Activision to bring nan ‘next procreation of ML-based FSR’ to nan long-running shooter franchise adjacent year.

We’re still waiting to perceive much astir really nan recently AI-driven FSR 4 will activity - particularly versus DLSS and now PSSR, some of which notably usage AI for solution upscaling, while AMD has avoided nan usage of AI for FSR frankincense far. According to Huynh, handheld gaming PCs will bask a important artillery life betterment stemming from AI-based framework interpolation.

While this could drastically amended powerfulness ratio for handhelds, it’s besides perchance awesome news for desktop PC gamers who usage mid-range GPUs. Fluid Motion Frames (AMD’s frame-gen software) has already improved smoothness and reduced latency crossed aggregate games, and pinch AMD afloat focusing connected instrumentality learning for FSR 4, we tin expect a capacity leap successful some FMF and nan solution upscaling instrumentality itself.

Will this thief AMD GPUs compete pinch Nvidia’s?

It’s clear that framework procreation and AI upscaling are becoming salient factors successful producing soft gaming experiences connected PC. Nvidia’s DLSS has consistently outperformed AMD’s FSR, which is much than apt 1 of nan RTX 4000 series’ propulsion factors for PC gamers (since nan next-gen DLSS 3 is only disposable connected RTX 4000 cards).

With a caller procreation of upscaling tech connected nan horizon, this is simply a awesome opportunity for Team Red to compete successful nan GPU marketplace - high-end GPUs are nary longer its focus, truthful FSR 4 whitethorn beryllium nan savior needed to fastener successful beardown but affordable capacity for its mid-range and fund cards.

If AMD’s leaked CES 2025 lineup is accurate, we could spot nan marque put up a awesome conflict wrong nan GPU section but besides present a complete landslide crossed aggregate different next-gen hardware arenas… watch this space, folks.
