A group of modders got an impressive feat: allowing the newly released AMD FSR 4 be activated in any game that supports NVIDIA DLSS 2 or Intel XeSS.
The discovery can significantly expand and press the range of AMD technology, allowing players who do not have a more expensive GPU of Nvidia to enjoy the benefits of upscaling.
MOD works by intercepting UPSCaling APIs calls and converting them to FSR 4 logic. The result is an efficient method for injecting support for FidelityFX Super Resolutioneven in games that did not receive official support from AMD.
The new discovery can change the upscaling scenario on the PC. If the FSR 4 can replace DLSS 2 efficiently, more players can take advantage of performance without needing NVIDIA hardware
How does the mod work?
The method used by modders resembles previous solutions that allowed to replace the Dlss 2 heart fsr 2. However, the implementation this time has been optimized to extract the new version of FSR as much as possible.
The interception of rendering calls redirects the game to use FSR 4 instead of DLSS 2 or Xess, allowing an increase in the rate of frames without the need for specific hardware from NVIDIA or Intel.
How to activate FSR 4 in compatible games?
The installation of mod is relatively simple and follows a process similar to previous mods that replaced DLSS 2 the 2nd FSR. Basically, the player needs to download the modified files and replace the library DLSS ou XeSS in the game folder through the optiscaler software.
In addition, the software Optiscal It is being used to optimize image quality and performance of FSR 4. The tool enhances sharpness and pixel reconstruction, ensuring an experience closer to what is seen in DLSS from Nvidia.
According to the first tests, the combination of FSR 4 With Optismaler brings remarkable improvements in games like Cyberpunk 2077which has already been demonstrated by running in RX 9070 XT com Activated Path tracing and more than 60 fps in 1440p.

FSR 4 has been the target of high expectations since its announcement. AMD promises a leap in the quality of technology, approaching even more than the DLSS from Nvidia offers. It has recently been confirmed that the FSR 4 will be available in at least 75 games by 2025.
Many players using AMD plates or even older GPUS from Nvidia can benefit from this new possibility. After all, the FSR 4 is being designed to rival DLSbringing improvements in sharpness and image stability.
If this modification becomes popular and demonstrates consistent performance, it can mean an important step in making FSR an viable solution even in originally optimized games for DLSS 2.

The community always finds a way
FSR 4 adaptation to DLSS 2 and XES -compatible games can become a water divider for NVIDIA’s older AMD and GPUS users.
If this modging method is consolidated, it can make way for a future where players are more freedom to choose upscaling technology, regardless of the hardware used. Or at least press AMD to speed things up here!
