AMD Unveils Fluid Motion Frames 2 For Enhanced Gaming Performance

AMD has launched the latest version of its Fluid Motion Frames tech, designed to boost gaming frame rates on RDNA 2- and RDNA 3-based graphics hardware. Following its technical preview in July, Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) is now widely available after being released alongside its supporting Adrenalin 24.9.1 GPU driver.

How AFMF 2 Works

AFMF is a frame generation technology similar to Nvidia’s DLSS Frame Generation but operates on the driver level instead of game-specific integration. The second-gen AFMF update can be enabled in OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX 11, or DirectX 12 games, meaning FPS can now be improved in titles that don’t support FSR and DLSS. Currently, AFMF 2 works on AMD Radeon RX 6000, RX 7000, 700M, and 800M GPUs.

Key Features and Updates

AFMF 2 includes several key features and updates, including:

Fast motion optimization, which addresses issues from the first generation of AFMF that disabled frame generation in games displaying fast movements.

Two AI-optimized adjustable modes for AFMF 2: Search Mode and Performance Mode. Search Mode adjusts the FPS smoothness and image quality in games during fast-motion scenes, while Performance Mode can boost AFMF efficiency on low-power devices.

Support for borderless full-screen game modes on RX 7000 GPUs and AMD’s Radeon Chill low-latency FPS cap to limit the lag that FPS boosters can inflict.

A new geometric downscaling feature that can reduce aliasing and other visual artifacts when videos are played in a window smaller than their native resolution.

Availability and Compatibility

AFMF 2 is now widely available after being released alongside its supporting Adrenalin 24.9.1 GPU driver. It supports a range of AMD Radeon GPUs, including RX 6000, RX 7000, 700M, and 800M.
