Yesterday, AMD debuted an early sneak peek into the next iteration of its frame generation technology, AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2. This new version promises remarkable improvements, including up to 28% reduced latency and various modes tailored to specific resolutions to accommodate your game rig. AFMF 2 incorporates several new optimizations and adjustable settings for frame generation to elevate frame rates and enhance gameplay smoothness.

According to AMD, AFMF 2 uses AI algorithms, which improve image quality while reducing latency and boosting performance. These upgrades have been well-received by a select group of gamers, based on a poll that AMD said it conducted. "We polled gamers and AFMF received an average rating of 9.3/10 for image quality and smoothness," the company stated in its announcement.

"All this adds up to a significant improvement over AFMF 1," AMD said, "and because we couldn't resist getting this upgrade into gamer’s hands, we are releasing it as a technical preview so your feedback can help make AFMF 2 even better."

The most notable improvement with cutting-edge AFMF 2 is the significant reduction in latency. In AMD's testing, AFMF 2 delivered up to 28% lower latency on average compared to its predecessor. For instance, in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution set to maximum and powered by an RX 7900 XTX, AMD recorded substantial latency reduction. The company even encouraged players to experience the improvements in latency in the game, where AFMF 2 can "deliver on average 28% lower latency at 4K using the Ray Tracing: Maximum graphics preset when compared to AFMF 1."

AMD said it also expanded the compatibility and functionality of AFMF 2. The frame generation tech now supports borderless fullscreen modes when used with AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series graphics cards. Additionally, AFMF 2 works with games that use Vulkan and OpenGL, which can further enhance animation smoothness. Moreover, AMD enabled compatibility with AMD Radeon Chill, a feature that allows users to define a driver-controlled FPS cap.
