Optiscaler Zaps FSR 4 Ghosting on RX 6000s — But Who's Really Winning?

Remember that leaked FSR 4 build haunting your RX 6000 with ghosting? Optiscaler's latest update kills it — mostly. But let's cut through the hype: is this a lifeline for old GPUs or AMD's sneaky way to keep you from buying new ones?

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Optiscaler 4.2.0b fixes most FSR 4 INT8 ghosting on RX 6000 GPUs with latest Adrenalin drivers.
  • Leaked INT8 build outperforms FSR 3.1 on older Radeons, hinting at AMD's abandoned broad compatibility plans.
  • Community tool extends life of RDNA2/3 cards, but risks instability and no official support.
