A few years ago, AMD's FSR was revolutionary for Steam Deck. It helped games run smoother and boosted framerates without needing a more powerful GPU. In essence, a free upgrade!
Now, #AMD wants FSR4 to do the same thing for battery life.

@killyourfm the reason FSR2+ isn’t integrated in Gamescope is it requires data from games directly - has to be inside the games, FSR4 will be no different so we’re never likely to see anything above FSR1 FYI
@ThePlant Hmm, FSR4 seems like it will be quite different.
Up until now, FSR has been an analytical-based technique, so it requires pre-determined algorithms and filters. FSR4 is a dramatic departure from that.
@ThePlant It's also REALLY interesting that so far, AMD has only discussed FSR4 in the context of handhelds.
