AMD Unveils Fluid Motion Frames 2 With AI and Low Latency
AMD has announced the release of Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), the latest version of its frame-generation technology. AFMF 2 aims to enhance gaming performance by improving frame generation and reducing latency. The new technology incorporates AI optimizations to improve the quality of generated frames, though it does not use deep learning in real-time. Users can access AFMF 2 via the HYPR-RX technology stack or through per-game settings, providing flexibility in its application.
AFMF 2 introduces several new features, including a "Performance" mode to make high frame rate gaming more accessible and a "Search" mode for customizable settings. The technology now supports a broader range of gaming APIs, including Vulkan and OpenGL, and can operate in borderless fullscreen mode. Additionally, AFMF 2 offers fine-grain control for users to tweak their settings and includes improvements in latency, with a reported 28% reduction in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with ray tracing Ultra settings on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU.
The new version supports AMD's RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 GPUs, specifically the Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 series, as well as AMD-Ryzen 7000 series processors and newer. While AFMF 2 is currently available as a technical preview, it promises better image quality, higher performance, and lower latency compared to its predecessor. The update also introduces a new AI-optimized control mode for lower-end hardware, expanding its usability across various devices.
