AMD has unveiled Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), a significant update to its driver-level frame generation technology. This new version promises improved performance, lower latency, and broader game compatibility across AMD's graphics hardware lineup.
Key highlights of AFMF 2 include:
-
AI-optimized enhancements: New algorithms aim to reduce jitter and improve frame generation smoothness, especially in high-motion scenes.
-
Lower latency: AMD claims up to 28% lower latency in some titles like Cyberpunk 2077 when using high-end GPUs like the RX 7900 XTX.
-
Performance improvements: A new Performance mode reduces overhead, particularly beneficial for integrated graphics and handheld devices.
-
Expanded compatibility: Now supports OpenGL and Vulkan APIs in addition to DirectX 11 and 12. Borderless fullscreen is also supported on RDNA 3 GPUs.
-
Radeon Chill integration: AFMF 2 can now work alongside AMD's frame rate capping feature to prevent screen tearing.
AFMF 2 is notable for working across a wide range of games without requiring specific in-game implementation. It's compatible with AMD's RX 6000 and 7000 series GPUs, as well as select Ryzen processors with integrated graphics.
The technology introduces new customization options:
- High and Standard search modes optimize for different resolutions
- Quality and Performance presets allow users to balance image quality and frame rates
While promising, real-world testing will be needed to fully evaluate AFMF 2's effectiveness compared to competing frame generation technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3. AMD is positioning this as a key feature of its HYPR-RX one-click optimization suite.
AFMF 2 is currently available as a technical preview through AMD's latest preview drivers. Gamers interested in trying the technology should ensure they have compatible hardware and carefully review AMD's setup instructions for optimal results.
