Your Radeon RX 9000 gets FSR Redstone first in Black Ops 7

What’s happened? AMD says its new FSR Redstone tech lands in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and it’s starting on Radeon RX 9000 Series cards. The rollout pairs FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration with machine learning frame generation, and it goes live in-game tomorrow.

  • AMD confirmed availability via its AMD Gaming account on X, calling out RX 9000 support.
  • Black Ops 7 is “built from the ground up” with AMD tech, said SVP Jack Huynh in an accompanying video.
  • The goal, per Huynh, is “stunning visuals and ultra smooth gameplay,” including a new co-op campaign, Omni movement, and a huge round-based zombies map.
  • AMD also noted every Call of Duty NEXT demo rig ran Ryzen X3D processors and Radeon graphics, and reiterated the November 14 launch.

This is important because: Black Ops 7 gives AMD a flashy stage to debut FSR Redstone in a game millions already plan to play. That visibility matters, especially when you’re talking ray features and higher frame targets.

  • Radeon RX 9000 owners get one of the earliest public trials of Redstone’s ray regeneration and frame boosting.
  • The showcase positions AMD as a core partner on how the PC version is tuned and presented.
  • Tying a marquee shooter to new rendering features helps AMD prove its performance story inside real gameplay.

Why should I care? If you play on PC, Black Ops 7 doubles as a live demo for AMD’s latest features. You can tweak, test, and actually feel what Redstone does in matches rather than watch sizzle reels.

  • Redstone aims to keep motion smooth while the game piles on fast Omni movement and messy zombie crowds.
  • With AMD embedded through Call of Duty NEXT, PC players who chase stable frame times have a clear hardware path.

Okay, so what’s next? The game launches November 14, and AMD is treating that window as Redstone’s coming-out party on RX 9000. Expect more detail on settings and specs as players dig in.

  • If you already run RX 9000, Black Ops 7 is where to flip Redstone on and try its ML frame generation in live matches.
  • AMD calls the partnership about “pushing boundaries together,” so watch for deeper PC settings breakdowns as more players get hands on.
  • Even on other hardware, this is an early look at how big shooters may use AMD’s next rendering wave.

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been
Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.

Waiting for a massive Game Pass download to finish could soon become a little less painful. Microsoft has begun testing a new Smart Download Client as part of the latest Xbox Insider Alpha Skip-Ahead update. The feature is designed to speed up game installs and updates by automatically connecting users to the fastest available content server. While it's currently limited to Xbox Insider testers, early reports suggest the improvements are also making their way to the Xbox PC app, potentially solving one of the platform's longest-standing frustrations.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups
The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)
