FSR4 working on RDNA3 (RX 7000 Series) Cyberpunk 2077. TESTED RX 7800 XT. Womp 0.o

[humbug]

I don't know how this is working but it seems like it is.....

AMD accidently - on purpose, probably, released an Int8 .dll version of FSR4, Int8 would mean it works on RDNA3 and probably RDNA2.

Some Youtubers say they have FSR4 working on RDNA3 GPU's in Cyberpunk using OptiScaler, i thought why don't i just replace all the FedelityFX dll's in Cyberpunk with the latest version and then add the leaked dll? what could go wrong? I may have to delete the Bin64 Folder in Cyberpunk and then get Steam to verify files to reset the folder, big deal....

So that's what i did, And it seems to work.

How to:

First make sure you don't have FSR turned on in Cyberpunk, turn it off and come out of the game, if you have it turned on and you do this Cyberpunk will crash on trying to load in.

Download the FedelityFX v2 SDK from OpenGPU, linked below.

AMD FidelityFX™ SDK v2 - AMD GPUOpen

AMD FidelityFX™ SDK v2 is the launchpad for our ML-based rendering technologies, inc. AMD FSR 4 and upcoming FSR Redstone features.

gpuopen.com

In the Zip file copy the following 3 files and paste them to your Cyberpunk X64 folder, explorer address below.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64

amd_fidelityfx_framegeneration_dx12.dll
amd_fidelityfx_loader_dx12.dll
amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll

Rename the amd_fidelityfx_loader_dx12.dll file to just amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll , so delete _loader from the name.

Download this dll.

gofile.io

Copy that in the same folder you just copied the other dll files, it will ask you to overwrite amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_dx12.dll , agree, do it...

That's it.... that's all you need to do, now you should have FSR 4.0.2 on your RX 7000 series GPU, possibly also RX 6000 tho i have not tested that.
-----------------------

Demo Video.

I have only just started playing Cyberpunk, so this is not the best demo, its just what i was able to do while still in prologue.

As you see the performance is a little lower in FSR4 vs FSR3, its still a decent boost in performance besides this, the image is so much more stable, you can see it in the middle of the screen, this might not be as good as FSR4 on RX 9000 series but from what i can see and from what others have said it is a lot better than FSR3.
FSR 4 Performance mode actually looks much better than FSR 3 Quality mode, that's how big the difference is and it makes Cyberpunk 2077 more than playable with all RT on Ultra on my RX 7800 XT.

Note: Youtube doesn't seem to know how to process a HDR video so the colour is completely off, thanks Youtube, looks nothing like the recording, great job....

FSR Off.

FSR4 Quality.

FSR3 Quality.

PS: clearly AMD have been working on FSR 4 for RDNA 3, maybe 2 also, with this leak hopefully it means they are close to releasing it.
There is a performance loss, FSR3 Quality mode is 60 FPS vs FSR4 quality mode 54 FPS, a performance difference of 11%, but without upscaling the performance is only about 33 FPS, so still a significant difference.

A word of caution...

This is based on FSR4 code that was pushed to one of AMDs GitHub repos, perhaps accidentally, and then subsequently removed. Naturally, the internet doesn't forget and that's especially hard with git repos so the code is now out there.

However, these DLLs are third party compiled, will always be out of date and most definately are not signed in any way. If you use them in a game with a sandbox/anti-cheat type protected environment you theoretically could face a ban or account suspension.

edit: it's also very risky for your security and safety to install arbitrarily executable code from an unknown source (a dynamically linked library from a generic file sharing source fits this description)

Daniel Owen did a couple of vids as well testing it on 7800xt and 6800xt and to get it working properly on the 6800xt you have to use a 2 year old driver lol.

It shows it's possible on RDNA3 but I don't want to jump through hoops and I haven't got that game anyway so come on AMD enable it for us RDNA3 users, you charge enough for your gpu's so give us what we want for once.

 

[Pulseammo]

Yeah hopefully this gets back ported, the 7000 series cards are still really capable and I've enjoyed FSR4 on the 9000 series so far.

Any time I used FSR3 I used to see a lot of sparkling edges which were off putting (not in cyberpunk mind). FSR4 has definitely been a step up.

I think he missed a bit of a trick here, instead of benchmarking it at 100 FPS without RT and getting minimal performance gain, which is IMO completely pointless, i think rather given that it is an RX 7800XT, a sub £500 GPU from the last gen why not use FSR 4 on it to see if it can run RT, that tells a much better story.

So...

1440P

RT Reflections: On
RT Sun Shadows: On
RT Local Shadows: On
RT Lighting: Psycho

FSR 4: Balanced
FSR 3.1: Frame Gen on

Average FPS: 100, Boom....

You mean 50% fake frames! But in fairness FG works well in CP2077 and is one of the few times I've used it to enable higher levels of eye candy without noticing a detriment to the overall IQ with distracting artifacts.

It's definitely impressive, and hopefully the positive feedback will encourage AMD to get it working officially on RDNA3 (RDNA2 may be a stretch due to the extra work that would require).

I've tried those settings on my 7900gre the game does run fine for the most part and looks amazing but in some areas mostly in Dogtown your native frame rate drops too low and the game just feels horrible to play.

In FSR3.1 titles, you only have to rename/overwrite the games AMD fidelity.dll, then drag/copy/paste 3 files into the games exe. directory.

Tried and tested on SHf, DL Beast, Cronos and SM games, are all running FSR4 on the Rog Ally.

With FSR2+/DLSS2+/XESS titles, you'll need Optiscaler, but essentially it opens up FSR4 for almost every game.

That's not AMD specific though, Dogtown's the most demanding area of the game.

Frame Gen only works well if your base FPS are around 60, maybe between 55 and 60 is ok but no lower than that.

Thing is i don't use Frame Gen, you don't need to, i did this to make a point about missed opportunity in Daniel Owen's video, its actually a little annoying because if this was Nvidia, even a 4060 which is a slower RT card in Cyberpunk than the RX 7800XT he would be using RT, its like he automatically assumes that because it a $500 AMD GPU it can't do RT in Cyberpunk.

I turned the RT lighting up to Psycho mode to make that point, with RT lighting on Ultra and Balanced FSR4 i'm getting a solid 60 minimum.

Here's the reality, a mate of mine ran the same benchmark with the same settings using DLSS 4 and got 14% better FPS than me. WWOOOOOOWWW.... and you know... i'm getting 10% lower performance in FSR4 than FSR3.
He paid £560 for that GPU, i paid £480 for mine.

I really hate how people think AMD's older RDNA cards do in RT compared to what they actually do, and it comes from tech jurnoes deliberately looking for the absolute worst case scenario so they can make click bait videos from it, and then they wonder why the competitiveness in this space is at rock bottom, actually they don't, they know, they just don't care, just so long as people keep clicking....

Yeah I do agree, despite me buying a 9070xt my youngest inherited my 7900GRE and my eldest was given a 7700xt. Watching and listening to how the worm has turned for both of them especially my eldest who wanted only Nvidia, they both now realise that these cards are really really good, makes me smile.

Yeah, that's a valid point. I have a couple of friends that were Intel/Nvidia all the way. Now they haven't changed their tune on the latter, but when it came to a platform upgrade they were instantly looking at Intel CPUs for their gaming only use case, eyeing up the 14900K as it was their best part at the time, without even considering AMD. I practically had to beg them to look up 7800X3D reviews, and lo and behold, when they did they saw what it could bring to the table and went that route.

Do a bit of research, that's all it takes! And I'm absolutely not saying that there aren't perfectly valid reasons to pick Nvidia over AMD at a given price point, but it should be obvious that you need to look at the performance you'll get in games you play, and the price/performance ratio.

That would make the RX 7900XTX a killer bang per buck purchase!

I have the nitro and have 0 regrets getting it after donkey years on a Nvidia. FSR4 is meant to be great so fingers crossed I get it.

I wish I hadn't mentioned it TBF, as I've probably just created a trend and will drive the price of them up now
Jokes aside though, that will be awesome for you, dude!

 

[humbug]

Not as good as FSR4 on RDNA 4 but better than XeSS even if running XeSS at a higher setting, and certainly a lot better than FSR 3.1.

Good....
