SU6 1.8.14.0 FSR Frame Generation shows as v1.1 should be v3.1

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

SU 6 v1.8.14.0 release notes state that FSR (upscaling and frame generation) was reverted for final release back to verson 3, as it was in SU 5.1.

However, on my PC (Win 11 with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU) in MSFS Settings > Graphics > Frame Generation, selecting “FSR” results in “AMD FSR 1.1” being displayed instead of the expected “AMD FSR 3.1”.

When MSFS was SU5.1, FSR did show as v3.1.

So 1.1 might be a typo (I hope…), or worse, a VERY old version of FSR?

same w/ 7900xtx, latest drivers

But after you enable FSR in Adrenaline it will show AMD FSR 4.0 in the Sim.

Very weird

NVIDIA GPU, so no Adrenaline here.

MatchlessJoker0 · August 14, 2026, 12:29am

i have FSR enabled in adrenline, but still shows 1.1

BigCow74 · August 14, 2026, 12:42am

Same issue. RTX3090 FE.

SolvedAir1158 · August 14, 2026, 12:53am

Did you restart the SIm after enabling FSR in Adrenaline and does it show a green check mark in Adrenaline?

SolvedAir1158 · August 14, 2026, 12:59am

I also just notice this in the release notes.

I’m on the latest version 26.7.1

I have the same issue with a 9070xt card, I have FSR and upscaling turned on in Adrenaline and when I load the SIM I am getting the label AMD FSR 1.1 in the frame gen setting. That said all seems fine ion the sim with expected frame rates for my settings. I dont have any options when I click in to Frame Gen setting in the sim apart from AMD FSR.

Shillster · August 14, 2026, 5:47am

Some screenshots for anti aliasing and frame gen options in the SIM

SolvedAir1158 · August 14, 2026, 5:55am

Are you running driver version 26.7.1 and do you have it enable in Adrenaline for FS2024. You have to enable it in Adrenaline before starting the sim.

Then you should see this in the FS settings

MatchlessJoker0 · August 14, 2026, 6:00am

yes, @SolvedAir1158

I have enabled AMD FSR upscaling and it shows active; however amd FSR Frame Generation is not avaible to select on adrenaline software; i dont know why it just wont show up: why could that be?

Shillster · August 14, 2026, 6:11am

@SolvedAir1158 yes, here are screenshots attached

Note the Status while the SIM is running - This is strange I guess, maybe I need to reinstall Adrenaline.

SolvedAir1158 · August 14, 2026, 6:58am

Note that the status of FSR Frame Generation is indicating Game Restart Required. In the Sim make sure FSR is selected for both Upscaling and FG then shut down the Sim. From the Gaming/Graphics menu in Adrenaline reset your shaded cache then restart the Sim. See if that helps.

If not maybe a fresh install of the drivers or FS may be required.

During the public beta of Sim Update 6, we tested AMD FSR 4 (upscaling and frame generation). For the final release of SU6, we reverted to FSR 3 due to incompatibility between FSR 4 frame generation and rendering to multiple windows. We are working in collaboration with AMD to fix this issue in a future Sim Update. Note that FSR 3 is the same version of AMD FSR that was used in Sim Update 5.1.

AMD FSR version is now displayed according to your GPU software.

All good.

Same issue on my nVidia-based system. I don’t really care if it shows FSR 1.1 and is actually 3.1, but if it is actually 1.1 then it should be fixed soon. I prefer FSR over nVidia FG.

hockenheim95 · August 14, 2026, 8:34am

Was there even Frame Generation 1.1? I thought it was introduced with FSR3

GimbalAxis · August 14, 2026, 1:00pm

Your screen shot shows the Anti-Aliasing at FSR 3.1 (great) but this issue is about the Frame Generation setting showing 1.1

SaabFreak5198 · August 14, 2026, 1:10pm

I am also having the same issue, 7900XTX running the most up to date AMD drivers. Frame Gen only shows FSR1.1 when it previously showed 3.1

BIKUAFURO · August 14, 2026, 1:18pm

Same in here, with a 7900XT and latest drivers. The frame gen option in sim shows as FSR 1.1, don’t know if it’s a typo because FSR frame generation started with FSR 3.

During the SU6 beta it was showing as FSR 3.1, so it’s strange that now it’s showing as 1.1. Would be great to have some clarification regarding this, if it’s only a typo or not.
