AMD Releases Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 with FSR 4 Game Support
Gamers and graphics enthusiasts have reason to celebrate. AMD has rolled out its latest GPU driver—Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1—packed with major upgrades. This update brings FSR 4 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) support to six titles, including the much-anticipated The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
The driver improves image quality and game performance for those running the Radeon RX 9000 Series, AMD’s latest RDNA 4-based graphics cards. Users can expect better visuals, reduced lag, and more AI-powered enhancements.
Oblivion Remastered Gets the FSR 4 Treatment
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered leads the list of supported games. With
FSR 4, the cult-favourite RPG now boasts sharper visuals and higher frame rates on supported GPUs.
This is big news for fans revisiting the fantasy epic with modern upgrades. FSR 4 enhances image quality using AI-based upscaling, similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS, offering smoother gameplay without compromising visual fidelity.
Five More Games Join the FSR 4 Club
In addition to Oblivion Remastered, five other titles now support FSR 4:
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
- Dynasty Warriors Origin
- Civilization 7
- Naraka Bladepoint
This expanded list gives gamers a taste of what
AI-driven rendering can achieve, particularly on the RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 9000 Series, such as the 9070 and 9070 XT.
However, a heads-up: Naraka Bladepoint may not support FSR 4 for some users on Windows 10, according to
release notes.
Performance Fixes Across Games and Apps
Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 isn’t just about FSR 4. AMD has also resolved several issues that impacted gaming and AI workflows. The update includes:
- Flickering fixes for FreeSync users
- Improved AI performance in Amuse 3.0
- Better lighting effects in Topaz Photo AI
- Stability boosts for World of Warcraft and various AI models
- Camera detection fixes on some Ryzen AI laptops
For creators and streamers using AMD-optimised models in AI tools, these fixes ensure smoother rendering and fewer bugs.
Known Issues Remain—But Workarounds Offered
Despite the improvements, the new driver still comes with some known issues. AMD lists several bugs that are under investigation:
- Crashes or driver timeouts in The Last of Us Part 2
- Memory leaks and crashes while using SteamVR
- Shader compilation crashes in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Launch issues with Battlefield 1 and Cyberpunk 2077
- VR stuttering at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rates
- Problems with AMD Chat installation
To help users cope, AMD has provided temporary workarounds, including disabling integrated graphics in BIOS and adjusting VR headset refresh rates.
Radeon RX 9000 Series Owners See the Biggest Gains
FSR 4’s AI-driven upscaling is exclusive to RDNA 4 cards, meaning Radeon RX 9000 Series owners benefit the most from this update. AMD’s shift to AI-based scaling brings it closer to DLSS, giving players competitive image quality and frame rate boosts.
The driver also supports older RDNA cards like the RX 5000 and RX 7000 series, although some FSR 4 features are hardware-restricted.
AI, Games, and Graphics—A Unified AMD Experience
AMD is pushing its ecosystem forward with this update. By integrating AI-optimised models in Amuse 3.0, boosting game visuals, and fixing long-standing bugs, AMD is offering a more unified experience for gamers and creators alike.
The Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 driver reflects AMD’s commitment to both performance and polish. While bugs persist, the improvements are tangible, especially for users with cutting-edge Radeon hardware.
FSR 4: What It Means for the Future
FSR 4 represents AMD’s next step in real-time graphics rendering. With its reliance on AI and compatibility with major new titles, it sets a strong foundation for future game releases.
Expect more developers to embrace FSR 4 as RDNA 4 adoption increases. This update marks AMD’s clearest move yet toward bridging the gap with NVIDIA in terms of performance-enhancing upscaling technology.
Final Thoughts: A Must-Have Update for Radeon Users
If you’re running a Radeon RX 9000 Series GPU, this update is essential. Whether you’re exploring Oblivion’s remastered world or leading troops in Dynasty Warriors Origin, you’ll experience smoother, better-looking gameplay.
While the Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 driver still carries a few bugs, its performance gains and FSR 4 integration make it a solid win for AMD users. Keep an eye out for future patches, but for now—this update is a game-changer.
