AMD has revamped its Fluid Motion Frames feature with AFMF 2, providing a driver-level frame generation solution for all games on AMD’s RX 6000 and RX 7000 graphics cards. The original AFMF fell short, but the new version promises significant improvements.
AFMF 2 leverages machine learning to enhance frame generation without the need for real-time AI inference. With the help of AI, AMD has developed an algorithm for AFMF 2, ensuring compatibility across various devices.
Key Updates in AFMF 2
The new Search Mode in AFMF 2 allows users to control how fallback works, enhancing image quality during fast motion scenes. Additionally, a Performance mode has been introduced for integrated graphics to optimize performance.
One of the standout improvements is AFMF 2’s expanded support, now compatible with exclusive and borderless full screen modes in games across multiple graphics APIs, including Vulkan and OpenGL.
Performance Comparison
AFMF 2 showcases significant improvement in frame consistency compared to its predecessor, offering a smoother gaming experience with reduced frame rate fluctuations.
AFMF 2’s enhancements are evident in games like “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth,” where frame time consistency is notably improved, providing a more stable gaming experience.
Impact on Image Quality
AFMF 2, while offering an enhanced gaming experience, still faces challenges with artifacts in high contrast scenes and struggles with detail in dark patches. However, its support for exclusive full screen and borderless full screen modes adds versatility.
Overall, AFMF 2 represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, positioning it as a compelling feature for AMD graphics card users.
