AMD’s next-gen frame generation tech rolls out to boost FPS in more games

AMD has officially launched the latest mentation of its Fluid Motion Frames tech that tin boost gaming framerates connected RDNA 2- and RDNA 3-based graphics hardware. Following its method preview successful July, Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) is present wide available aft being released connected Tuesday alongside its supporting Adrenalin 24.9.1 GPU driver.

AFMF is simply a frame-generation exertion akin to Nvidia’s DLSS Frame Generation, but operates connected the driver-level alternatively of game-specific integration. The second-gen AFMF update tin beryllium enabled successful OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX 11, oregon DirectX 12 games — meaning fps tin present beryllium improved successful titles that don’t enactment FSR and DLSS — and presently works connected AMD Radeon RX 6000, RX 7000, 700M, and 800M GPUs.

AFMF 2 tin summation fps by up to 250 percent “on average” according to AMD, but that was tested successful operation with the company’s FSR 2 tech and Hypr-RX optimization suite. Actual show volition besides alteration by GPU, game, and resolution. Digital Foundry reports fps was boosted “typically successful the 2x range” erstwhile it tested the AFMF 2 beta successful Control, CyberPunk 2077, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II astatine 4K utilizing a Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU.

The AFMF update notably includes accelerated question optimization, which should code issues from the archetypal procreation of AFMF that disabled Frame Generation successful games displaying accelerated movements. AMD has besides added 2 AI-optimized adjustable modes for AFMF 2 that let users to power however the diagnostic impacts crippled performance. Search Mode adjusts the fps smoothness and representation prime successful games during fast-motion scenes, portion Performance Mode tin boost AFMF ratio connected low-power devices.

AFMF 2 supports borderless fullscreen crippled modes connected RX 7000 GPUs, and AMD’s Radeon Chill low-latency FPS headdress to bounds the lag that fps-boosters tin inflict. Outside of gaming, it besides provides a caller “geometric downscaling” diagnostic that tin trim aliasing and different ocular artifacts erstwhile videos are played successful a model smaller than their autochthonal resolution. This is supported successful DirectX 11 apps moving connected Radeon RX 7000 and integrated Radeon 800M GPUs.
