[Will come:FSR4 on RDNA3.5]

It was always about 'no final decision', not cancelment.

AMD: No Definitive Decision on FSR 4.1 Support for RDNA 3.5 APUs (notebookchat.com/index.php?topic=311413).

Well, Rejoicing too soon: Turns out despite RDNA3.5 APUs being the same or newer architecture, they may still not get FSR 4.1 support. This is really weird, because APUs would profit from upscaling the most. And of course, since it's the same arch, no support means artificial limitation. Unbelievable..

Can't wait for NVIDIA N1 128-bit APU (like these APUs are), or the 256-bit N1X/Spark one (Spark = Strix Halo alternative, but with DLSS support, no artificial limitation, unlike what AMD does), where DLSS latest version upscaling is supported also on older architectures (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Super_Sampling#DLSS_4), unlike what AMD does here.

Of course FSR4 will come to RDNA3.5 APUs, because if not, it will p*** off a LOT of people and they won't feel bad buying NVIDIA anymore in the decades ahead, including me. So, why is this artificial drama even a thing.
