Maybe they wanna let some time pass by so the RDNA 4 guys aren’t salty. Quite a few of them have probably done what I’d consider a sidegrade, just to get FSR 4.

The only plausible explanation for withholding FSR 4 INT8 is that AMD wants to push RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 owners toward upgrading to RDNA 4. If that’s the strategy, it’s a poor one.

That explanation would make sense if we could still assume that AMD is interested in selling GPUs to gamers in the mid-to-far-future. Since they’d rather use pretty much all the capacity they have at TSMC to produce high-margin AI accelerator chips, that explanation doesn’t really make sense. I’m glad I took the opportunity to get the fastest AM4 chip, double my RAM to 32 GB and get myself a discounted RX 7900 XT with an aftermarket waterblock.

The way things are going, this may turn out to be my final gaming rig. I have other hobbies I can blow my money on. That equipment also tends to last longer and age better.
