Easy Cyberpunk 2077 guide to FSR 4, FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, XeSS 2.0, and mixed upscaler combinations after Update 2.3. Follow the first check, then the steps; use the additional information only if you need it.
Choose a sensible upscaler combo.
Select your GPU family and rendering option for a quick recommendation.
Upscaler combination helper
Only use combinations the game currently exposes for your GPU; support is hardware- and driver-dependent.
Do this in order.
A short, beginner-friendly route to the solution.
Update AMD Adrenalin
If you want FSR 4 to appear properly, install the latest Adrenalin package first.
Restart Windows after the driver install
This avoids false negatives where the option still looks missing.
Check the menu again
Open Graphics after the restart. If FSR 4 still is not visible, fall back to FSR 3.1 or XeSS instead of wasting time.
Simple explanation
Update 2.3 made this easier to understand: the image upscaler and the frame generation step can be separated more cleanly. That means you are no longer locked into a single all-in-one path on every GPU.
Best easy combinations
| Your hardware | Start here | Then try | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modern Radeon | FSR 4 | Add AMD FG | Best native AMD path |
| Older Radeon | FSR 3.1 or XeSS | Add AMD FG if smooth | Good flexibility |
| Older RTX | XeSS or DLSS SR | Add AMD FG if available | Useful mixed mode |
| Newer RTX | DLSS SR | Compare vs mixed combo | Choose the cleaner feel |
Practical advice
Use the best-looking upscaler first and only then decide whether you need Frame Generation.
Do not use Frame Generation to rescue an already bad framerate. Start from a playable base first.
Quick questions.
Can I combine XeSS with AMD Frame Generation?
In the newer mixed workflow, that is one of the main combinations people test first.
Why is FSR 4 missing?
Usually because the driver is out of date or the GPU does not support that path.
What is the easiest choice?
Pick the sharpest upscaler your system supports, then add Frame Generation only if you still need more smoothness.
Check your installed version.
Game menus, GPU support and performance vary by patch and hardware. Use the official news and support pages for update-specific details, and treat recommendations as starting points.
