What to Know?

- AFMF is a state-of-the-art frame generation technology exclusive to AMD. It enhances frame rates and gameplay smoothness and is integrated into AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. As part of AMD HYPR-RX, our one-click performance solution, it delivers exceptional gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards.

How to Enable

- AFMF 2 can be enabled for any OpenGLNEW, VulkanNEW, DirectX 11, and 12 title using HYPR-RX or the AMD Fluid Motion 2 Toggle.
- AFMF 2 is supported on AMD Radeon 700M and 800M integrated graphics, AMD Radeon RX 6000 and RX 7000 series desktop and mobile discrete graphics cards.
- AFMF 2 currently requires the game to be played in exclusive or borderless fullscreen mode with V-SYNC disabled.
- For a better visual experience, use AFMF 2 with a variable refresh rate-enabled display. Enabling Radeon Chill after AFMF will automatically set the FPS cap to reduce tearing.
- Use the in-game overlay (ALT+R) in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition to check AFMF’s frame generation status.
- AFMF 2 adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside the game’s engine. Users can enable the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay to see the resulting FPS.
- Users looking for a way to measure the measure the response time of games can make use of our Frame Latency Meter (FLM).

How to Optimize

- AFMF 2 introduces new modes that are automatically tuned for the best experience based on your configuration. These can be manually adjusted to your preferences if needed
- AFMF 2 adds a new “High” Search Mode setting for improved frame consistency during fast motion, enabled by default for resolutions of 2560x1440 and above.
- This reduces the jittering or stuttering encountered with AFMF 1 at higher resolutions.
- AFMF 2 adds a new Performance Mode setting to reduce frame-generation overhead, enabled as “Performance” by default for integrated graphics products.
- Integrated graphics users may switch back to the “Quality” performance preset for better frame-generation quality during fast motion. The “Quality” preset is the default when using discrete graphics cards.
- Users can manually enable this “Performance” mode on discrete graphics cards to hit even higher frame rates when GPU bound to maximize the FPS uplift.
- Users can find these tuning options within the “Advanced View” of HYPR-RX.

Multi-GPU Configurations

- For any hybrid-graphics configuration, AFMF 2 will use the displaying GPU for frame generation, allowing the render GPU to focus on the game.

What’s Next?

- We are continuously refining HYPR-RX with AFMF 2, using feedback from gamers across thousands of games to drive innovation. Join the conversation by sharing how well AFMF 2 is working on your system.

Fixed Issues

- AFMF may become inactive after enabling certain on-screen overlays.

Known Issues

- Performance metrics overlay may intermittently report N/A after task switching with certain display configurations.
- Baldur's Gate 3 may experience an app crash on AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series Processors.
- Intermittent driver timeout may occur after opening the Xbox Game Bar while AFMF 2 and RSR is active with certain Vulkan games.
- AFMF 2 may intermittently become inactive after doing a task switch with certain applications.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
