AMD officially confirmed December 10, 2025 as the premiere date for FSR Redstone, marking six months of development since the technology’s initial reveal at Computex 2025 in May. Jack Huynh, AMD’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Computing and Graphics Group, announced the launch through a teaser video posted on social media, confirming exclusive support for the Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards powered by RDNA 4 architecture.
FSR Redstone represents AMD’s direct response to NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 technology suite, combining four machine learning-based rendering technologies into a unified platform. The package includes ML-powered upscaling through FSR 4, AI-driven frame generation, Neural Radiance Caching for improved path-tracing performance, and Ray Regeneration for enhanced ray-traced image quality. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 became the first commercial title to implement FSR Redstone when it launched Ray Regeneration support in mid-November 2025, exclusively for RX 9000 GPU owners.

FSR Redstone Technical Overview
AMD has simplified its branding strategy ahead of the Redstone launch, officially shortening “FidelityFX Super Resolution” to simply “FSR” on product pages in late November 2025. The company’s documentation now refers to “FSR Upscaling (formerly AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution)” as part of a broader effort to streamline nomenclature similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS branding approach. This change applies across all FSR variants including the base upscaling technology, frame generation capabilities, and the new Redstone features.
Reports emerged in September 2025 suggesting FSR Redstone’s neural rendering core could function on NVIDIA GeForce and Intel Arc GPUs through AMD’s ROCm-based ML2CODE development framework. The technology reportedly converts machine learning operations into optimized compute shader code compatible with DirectX HLSL and Vulkan GLSL, potentially enabling cross-vendor support. However, AMD’s official December announcement materials and teaser content emphasize RX 9000 series exclusivity with no mention of broader GPU compatibility or support for previous-generation Radeon hardware including the RX 7000 series.

Technical Implementation Details
December Launch Details
The December 10 premiere event was announced by Jack Huynh through social media, confirming exclusive RX 9000 series support and full technical presentation of all four Redstone components. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s November implementation of Ray Regeneration marked the first public deployment, with remaining technologies including ML Frame Generation, Neural Radiance Caching, and enhanced ML Super Resolution awaiting broader release. AMD positioned Redstone as direct competition to NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 suite, targeting parity in machine learning-accelerated rendering for path-traced gaming scenarios.
FSR branding simplification from “FidelityFX Super Resolution” to “FSR” occurred in late November 2025 ahead of the premiere. Reports about potential cross-vendor GPU support through ROCm-based shader compilation emerged in September 2025 but received no official AMD confirmation. The December event coverage addressed implementation specifics, game support expansion plans, and clarification on GPU compatibility questions including potential RX 7000 series support and vendor-agnostic functionality.
