AMD has launched AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2, the next generation of its frame generation technology. This upgrade promises a significantly smoother gaming experience, boasting up to a 28% reduction in latency.
AMD Unveils AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2): An Early Look
AMD recently offered an early preview of AFMF 2, showcasing substantial improvements. Expect up to 28% lower latency and various resolution modes optimized for diverse gaming rigs. AFMF 2 features refined optimizations and adjustable settings for enhanced frame rates and smoother gameplay.
AMD's announcement highlights the use of AI algorithms to improve image quality while simultaneously minimizing latency and maximizing performance. Internal testing revealed overwhelmingly positive gamer feedback, with AFMF 2 achieving an average 9.3/10 rating for image quality and smoothness.
AMD emphasized the significant leap from AFMF 1, stating, "All this adds up to a substantial improvement over AFMF 1," and released it as a technical preview to gather user feedback for further enhancements.
The most striking improvement in AFMF 2 is the dramatic latency reduction. AMD's internal testing showed up to a 28% average decrease compared to its predecessor. This is particularly noticeable in games like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra Ray Tracing settings using an RX 7900 XTX, where AMD recorded substantial latency reductions. They encourage players to experience this improvement firsthand, highlighting the 28% average latency reduction at 4K with Ultra Ray Tracing compared to AFMF 1.
AFMF 2 also boasts expanded compatibility and functionality. It now supports borderless fullscreen modes with AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series graphics cards. Furthermore, compatibility with Vulkan and OpenGL APIs enhances animation smoothness. Finally, interoperability with AMD Radeon Chill allows users to set driver-controlled FPS limits.
