The upgrade addresses FSR 3.1's known weaknesses — softness, ghosting, and texture instability — with sharper detail, smoother motion, and better stability. The timing is significant because a DRAM crisis has stalled hardware refreshes, making this software uplift the primary performance improvement available to current-gen handhelds. Some caveats remain: ray regeneration and radiance caching will likely stay RDNA 4 exclusive, and AMD hasn't confirmed whether AI-based frame generation will be included in the handheld rollout. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
