AMD’s Next Iteration of AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 – Lower Latencies & New Features
AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), featuring a massive improvement in the lower latency on its driver-based frame generation, with improvements as high as 28%.
AFMF 2 is now available to RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 owners to try out as a technical preview. One of the additional support features to AFMF 2 is the different modes aimed at the multiple screen resolutions.
The additional modes now included are, High mode, Standard mode and Performance mode. Each aimed at different screen resolutions and how it handles the “Fallback” behavior which is aimed at disabling fame generation in high-motion scenes to preserve image quality and smoothness.
Standard mode is for 1080P resolutions, while pushing the Fallback for a more aggressive balance.
High mode is for resolutions of 1440P and higher, while relaxing the Fallback for a smoother experience.
Search mode automatically decides what is best for your device between the standard and high settings.
Performance mode is for lower-end devices and integrated graphics units (iGPU), by reducing the Fallback overheads and offering higher frame rates. Which is enabled by default on Ryzen CPUs with a Radeon iGPU.
AFMF 2 has had API improvements beyond DirectX with Vulkan and OpenGL powered titles now being supported.
Radeon Chill is another mode AMD have added, it applies a frame rate cap that is half of the user screen refresh rate, then AFMF 2 frame generation will create the remaining frames up to the maximum supported refresh rate whilst preventing screen tearing and retaining image quality.
