AMD has introduced Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), an upgraded version of its frame generation technology designed to improve gameplay smoothness and frame rates. This new iteration brings several enhancements and expanded compatibility across Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 series graphics cards. AMD debuted Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) in September 2023 introducing frame generation capabilities across a broad spectrum of GPUs, including those from NVIDIA, and Intel. This technology was compatible with all DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 games, potentially doubling performance when frame generation was activated.

Following its initial release, AMD addressed major concerns such as stuttering and frame-pacing through substantial driver improvements. The refined version of AFMF was officially incorporated into AMD's driver package in January of this year. Now, AMD is offering Fluid Motion Frames 2 as a technical preview using a special driver to convince gamers that they can have an even faster and smoother gaming experience.





Here are the main highlights:

AI-Optimized Enhancements:
  • Improved frame generation smoothness
  • New "High" and "Standard" modes for different resolutions

Performance Improvements:
  • New "Performance" mode reduces overhead
  • Optimized for integrated graphics and wider device compatibility



Lower Latency:
  • Significant reductions in frame generation latency
  • Improvements apply across all settings and hardware

Expanded Compatibility:
  • Support for borderless fullscreen on RX 7000 and 700M series
  • Added support for Vulkan and OpenGL games
  • Interoperability with AMD Radeon Chill

Technical Improvements:
  • Updated algorithm reduces jitter in high-motion scenes
  • "Performance" mode targets handheld and Mini PC platforms with iGPUs
  • "Quality" preset optimized for discrete GPUs (RX 7000 and RX 6000 series)



Performance Examples:
  • Cyberpunk 2077: 28% lower latency on Radeon RX 7900 XTX
  • Counter Strike 2: Up to 12% lower latency on Ryzen 7 8700G APU with Radeon 780M iGPU

They need to give the option to keep the interpolation on even when frames differs too much because you can notice when it switches between on and off.

No it's not, just give people the option to choose what they want, if they can tolerate the lower quality let them choose to keep it on all the time.

Lossless Scaling too is an even better way to enable framegen.

A cumbersome to fully utilize, though amazing program.

I'm one of the odd ones that likes 'the soap opera effect'.
So, FrameGen and upscaling on videos, looks great! (to me)

I've been enjoying this lately, depending on the content it can work wonders. Had it work well with 24 FPS DVD's, and 30/60 FPS locked content too, like emulators. newer games with unlocked fps seem to benefit less.

Oh like that, I thought you meant solving it but you just mean letting people deal with it if they want to

It does not disable itself when moving the camera really fast now! Wonder if it's better then losseless scaling yet?

Installed these preview drivers. Didn't like the UI, sorta felt misleading with the explanations of the new additions, uninstalled them, did an AMD Clean Utility run, reinstalled 24.7.1 and it appears the old Fluid Motion Frames isn't working with some titles.

EDIT: oops, just have to add the games manually through the Adrenaline GUI

Dose this mean that mobile NPU can assist integrated GPU with AI frame gen while enabling afmf2 in games?

Seems to work much better than last generation. When I rotated the camera fast it stuttered a lot when playing the first descendant. Now it's much smoother. I prefer this over FSR Quality or NativeAA. I got the crispiest picture and performance is >50% better than FSR NativeAA only. With NativeAA + FMF2 it's 150 FPS. FSR NativeAA it's only 80 FPS.

Technically, it should be possible. But AMD being AMD, they'll probably need a decade to figure out the software for that.

Seeing not much early coverage I was skeptical about it's performance over AFMF 1. So I just tested myself it on Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Forbidden West. I must say this really deserves more hype.

I tested on 1440p with Quality upscaling with AFMF2 Search Mode on High and Performance Mod on Quality. In these settings it never actually failed to interpolate frames and dropped FPS while standard gameplay. It basically kept everything locked at 144FPS (I forced FPS cap in game for CP2077, from RTSS for Horizon) And I was using mouse so I was panning faster compared to gamepad. AFMF 1 was really bad and mostly unplayable in same environment. This new version feels as good as in-game FG solutions. Of course when I shook my mouse crazy fast it still dropped frames but that's not a realistic scenario for gameplay. I think, this can be a good option now for games that doesnt support FG. When you can get slightly higher FPS than half of your monitor refresh rate (eg. 80ish if you have 144Hz) you can use this to lock on your refresh rate. Overall performance overhead is only about 10%. So you can expect about 80% higher FPS (interpolated) with this in basically any game.

It is still not as good as non-FG high refresh rate though. I was feeling input lag with mouse. Also general fluidity of panning when I switch to non-FG 144FPS was slightly better. But it is a good way forward. I guess AMD turning to a software company started paying off :laugh:

@adilazimdegilx I had zero mouse lag when playing Apex Legends. Butter smooth >230 FPS. I play at a 3440x1440 resolution. FMF1 was giving me an inner delay with the Apex. Solid 10/10 experience.
