New Feature Highlights

  • AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) Technical Preview – Boost FPS with frame generation technology for a smoother gaming experience.

    • AFMF adds frame generation technology to DirectX® 11 and 12 games on AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 (and now 6000!) Series Desktop Graphics Cards. 
      • We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.
    • AFMF preserves image quality by dynamically disabling frame generation during fast motion.

What to know 

  • AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF)
    • AFMF can be globally enabled for any DirectX® 11 and 12 title using HYPR-RX or the AMD Fluid Motion Toggle.
      • As AFMF may introduce additional latency in games, AFMF may not offer the optimal experience in fast-paced competitive titles. AFMF can be disabled using the per-app settings for these titles.
    • AFMF can introduce additional latency in games and is recommended to be combined with AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag for the optimal experience. 
    • The AFMF technical preview currently requires the game to be played in fullscreen mode with VSYNC disabled. 
      • For the optimal experience, AFMF is recommended to be used on AMD FreeSync™ displays. 
    • AFMF features an activity monitor similar to AMD Radeon Super Resolution to confirm the frame generation status using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™’s in-game overlay (use the default hotkey of Alt-R for the fullscreen overlay, or Alt-Z for the sidebar overlay)
    • AFMF is recommended to be enabled for games running at a minimum fps of 55 FPS for 1080p displays, and 70 FPS for 1440p or above displays
    • AFMF adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside of the game’s engine. To see the resulting FPS, use the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay. Support for third-party performance monitoring tools is not available at this moment.

October 13th - What’s New?

  • We have added initial support for HDR to expand the AFMF gaming experience.
  • After monitoring user experience feedback, AFMF can now be globally enabled on all DirectX® 11 and 12 titles.
    • Users may use the per-app settings to individually disable or enable AFMF.
  • Improvements to frame pacing have been made, resulting in an overall smoother gameplay experience and improved image quality.

October 6th - What’s New?

  • We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.
  • Resolved a BSOD during driver installation. 

What’s Next?

We are continuing to monitor user reported issues, and are working towards releasing fixes.

Fixed Issues

  • Improvements to the overall smoothness and image quality when AFMF is enabled for games such as Starfield.
  • Some metrics such as frame time may show inconsistent results when AFMF is enabled. 
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ may fail to install on some systems. 
  • A BSOD may be experienced during installation on certain systems (as reported by the community)

Known Issues

  • Intermittent driver crashes have been observed while AFMF is enabled and the game's resolution is changed or a task switch happens (such as alt-tab between different windows).
  • Brief corruption may be observed when switching between windows with AFMF enabled on some 144Hz or greater monitors. 
  • Brief stutter may be experienced after closing the Xbox Game Bar. 
  • FreeSync™ displays may report an erratic FPS when AFMF is enabled. 
  • The performance metrics overlay may intermittently fail to appear (as reported by the community).
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ may intermittently crash, resulting in AFMF becoming inactive (as reported by the community).

Important Notes 

AMD has received reports of some games triggering anti-cheat bans on gamers when AMD Anti-Lag+ technology is enabled on Radeon graphics. To address this, we have released an Oct 17th Preview Driver for AMD Fluid Motion Frames that disables Anti-Lag+ technology in all supported games, and are recommending AFMF users upgrade to the new driver or AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.10.2. AMD is actively working with game developers on a solution to re-enable Anti-Lag+ and support them in reinstating gamers who were impacted by the anti-cheat bans. We will provide more information when available.
