AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2: Enhancing Gaming Experience

AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology, introduced last year, offered frame-gen support for GPUs from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. It addressed issues like stuttering and frame-pacing, significantly improving performance. Now, AMD unveils Fluid Motion Frames 2, packed with exciting features:

  1. AI-Optimized Enhancements:

    • AFMF 2 leverages AI optimization to enhance frame generation smoothness. The updated algorithm reduces fallback, ensuring better interpolated image quality.
    • Two modes are available: “High” (for 1440p and higher resolutions) and “Standard” (optimized for 1080p).

  2. Performance Improvements:

    • AFMF 2 introduces a “Performance” mode, reducing overhead. This benefits integrated graphics cards and is the default setting for supported AMD Ryzen Processors with Radeon Graphics.

  3. Lower Latency Frame Generation:

    • AFMF 2 significantly reduces latency added by frame generation. These improvements apply universally, regardless of settings, resolution, or hardware used.

  4. Other Updates and Improvements:

    • AFMF 2 now supports borderless fullscreen mode on AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series graphic cards.
    • Vulkan and OpenGL games are now compatible with AFMF 2, expanding its game support.
    • Interoperability with AMD Radeon Chill allows users to define a driver-controlled FPS cap.

Latency Improvements

  • In Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K RT ultra, AFMF 2 achieves 28% lower latency compared to AFMF 1 using a Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
  • For integrated graphics (e.g., Ryzen 7 8700G APU), AFMF 2 provides up to 12% lower latency in fast-paced FPS titles like Counter Strike 2.

How to Enable AFMF 2

  1. Game Mode:

    • AFMF 2 works in exclusive or borderless fullscreen mode with V-SYNC disabled.
    • Use a variable refresh rate-enabled display for a better visual experience.
    • Check AFMF’s frame generation status using the in-game overlay (ALT+R) in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

  2. Performance Metrics Overlay:

    • Enable AFMF 2 using HYPR-RX or the AMD Fluid Motion 2 Toggle.
    • The AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay shows resulting FPS.

  3. Optimization Modes:

    • AFMF 2 automatically selects modes based on your configuration.
    • “High” mode (for 2560x1440 and above) reduces jittering/stuttering.
    • “Performance” mode (default for integrated graphics) minimizes overhead.
    • Adjust settings in the “Advanced View” of HYPR-RX.

Multi-GPU Configurations

  • AFMF 2 uses the displaying GPU for frame generation, allowing the render GPU to focus on the game.

What’s Next?

  • AMD continues refining HYPR-RX with AFMF 2 based on gamer feedback.
  • Share your experience with AFMF 2 to drive further innovation!

Remember, AFMF 2 is a state-of-the-art frame generation technology exclusive to AMD, enhancing gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards. If you encounter any issues, refer to the known issues section.
