Any way to get FSR on older cards?

[HangTime]

My son's PC has a Radeon HD7950 which is no longer supported by AMD (latest driver revision 2021.5.2 the version that came out just before Fidelity Super Resolution).

Because it only has 3GB VRAM running 1440p monitor it is the sort of card that would benefit a lot from upscaling i.e. FSR so it could render at 720p and output at 1440p or whatever. It actually copes surprisingly well with games from a couple of years back (he's too young to be playing the latest AAA shooters etc) and given the state of the GPU market I would like to savour the FineWine a bit longer if possible.

Are there any hacked drivers or whatever kicking around that let you utilise FSR on older cards like this? I believe it supports SM5.0 so from a hardware perspective FSR should be feasible?

There is a piece of software available on Steam called Lossless Scaling which can force FSR on unsupported games by applying it at the front of the render pipeline. It's paid for software but it's only £4 and it can also apply other upscaling techniques as well, maybe worth giving it a try.

There is also FSHACK on linux which is free in case OS doesn't matter so much. Everything can be managed through steam anyway if you know how. Of course if he playes games with EAC then Linux is still a no go for the moment.
