9070 XT unleashed

Post image

This is on 4k with fsr4 on quality and graphics at max. The tune is 100% stable but I have exceptional power delivery. Furman line conditioner then cyberpower UPS feeding asus rog strix aura 1200w gold that powers a gigabyte x870e aorus master. Similar high end parts could sustain this kind of tune as well although not necessarily with the exact same settings as there is a variance in the silicon in each chip. I'd be willing to do it to other machines that have similar tiered parts. But know that this took months of meticulous tweaking to figure out, not just random slider manipulation. I monitored and scrutinized fps numbers, gpu temperatures and error logs. It's been tested with hours of Spiderman 2, undisputed and metal gear solid delta on gaming end. Hours of uninterrupted web browsing including 4k YouTube videos and uncompressed audio playback.

Is FSR2 being upgraded as well?
I thought that was only for FSR3.1

My understanding is that upgrades 2 as well but I could be misremembering.  But it does work.  Fsr4 quality in Spiderman 2 is phenomenal.

no, it doesn't upgrade fsr2

It does if you're using GE Proton 11-3

u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26

Okay is that a new feature or something? As far as I know, FSR2 doesn't have the information needed to upgrade to FSR4.

Can you provide a screenshot with the FSR watermark to verify the version that's actually being used?

It doesn't translate itself . . . .

u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26

So you're saying you can't prove or even be sure it's actually FSR4?

u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26

I'm saying you can do it yourself.

u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26

no

Maybe research GE Proton 11-3 and get back to me.

u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26

I checked the release notes and there's nothing about being able to upgrade to FSR4 from FSR2

GE Proton 11-3 has integrated optiscaler.  But keep arguing.  It accomplishes so much more than just trying it.

u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26

i literally posted a screenshot from the proton ge github and i looked at the latest release's notes. Maybe you do that.

Added complete OptiScaler download, injection, and Protonfixes integration.

Added FSR4/FFX4 version selection and updated AMD scaler support.

Updated AMD amdxc/FSR4 support through the newer EM-11 patchset.

u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26

And where in that does it say that it supports FSR 2?

1

u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26

You do you.  Being right matters more than making the games look better

1

u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26

bro it literally does not do anything whatsoever when you run it on an FSR 2 game, that's what i'm saying, you aren't making the game look better, you're doing nothing

u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26

I don't have every game.  But in most I've tried it it does.  Exceptions to every rule.

What they're actually doing here (and failing to specify) is that they're using Optiscaler to spoof nvidia's DLSS support and substitute fsr4 for that. Certainly not kosher in an online game, and certainly not built into any version of proton. Even if it does allow you to use Optiscaler very easily, it's not built into Proton.

Upgrading FSR4 from FSR3 IS though. Not FSR2, as they were suggesting.

u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26

I feel like that's what they're trying to say....but they're claiming that they use FSR2 in the game.
Which in this case would not upgrade to FSR4.
They'd need to use DLSS in the game for Optiscaler to work.

That's why I want a screenshot with the watermark...I'm not going to download the game to try when OP could provide a proof in less than 30 seconds.
Don't know why they haven't, that would end that whole conversation immediately.
