Small tip if anyone has a 6900XT or any other AMD GPU in their 7,1 or 5,1 (or other) MPs and AMD GPUs. Particularly the non FSR4 supported RDNA 2 and 3.

You can enable FSR 4.0.2 and get great frame rates with this new gen upscaler in Windows (I use Win11). AMD doesn't officially support FSR4 on older GPUs and it wont show up in the supported games graphics menu, but to enable it, all you need to do is replace 1 simple .dll in your games root folder. (make sure to keep a backup of the old one) Tested on Resident Evil 9 Requiem (left .dll file name as is) and Last of Us II (had to rename the .dll to amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll), no issues. Gives extra mileage out of these aging cards and a huge performance boost. RDNA 4 is officially supported and you don't need to do this (9000 series) but 7000 and 6000 series are not supported, so you can use this method.

I get 4k @ 60fps with all max settings with balanced/quality FSR settings in Last of Us II and 1440p60fps max settings upscaled to 4k with Ray Tracing enabled in Resident Evil 9 Requiem. I'm sure it works with all other FSR supported games, but haven't tried them yet. I game on one of my Studio Displays at 4k max (5k is just too much for these GPUs to handle). Looks great!

Hopefully this comes in handy!
