Yesterday, AMD offered a sneak peek into the next evolution of its frame generation technology, AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2. This advanced iteration brings significant enhancements, including up to 28% lower latency and various modes designed for specific resolutions to optimize your gaming setup. AFMF 2 features numerous new optimizations and adjustable settings for frame generation, aiming to elevate frame rates and enhance the fluidity of your gameplay.

AMD emphasizes that AFMF 2 leverages AI algorithms to not only improve image quality but also to minimize latency and boost performance. Feedback from a select group of gamers has been overwhelmingly positive, with AMD's poll revealing an impressive average rating of 9.3 out of 10 for image quality and smoothness.

"We are excited to see such a substantial leap forward with AFMF 2," AMD stated, "and because we value your input, we're releasing this as a technical preview. Your feedback will be instrumental in refining AFMF 2 further."

The standout feature of AFMF 2 is its significant latency reduction. In AMD's tests, AFMF 2 achieved up to 28% lower average latency than its predecessor. A notable example is in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution with ultra settings on an RX 7900 XTX, where AMD observed substantial improvements in latency. The company encourages players to experience these latency enhancements in the game, where AFMF 2 can "deliver on average 28% lower latency at 4K using the Ray Tracing: Ultra graphics preset when compared to AFMF 1."

AMD has also broadened the compatibility and functionality of AFMF 2. The technology now supports borderless fullscreen modes on AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series graphics cards. Additionally, AFMF 2 is compatible with games utilizing Vulkan and OpenGL, potentially enhancing animation smoothness. Moreover, AMD has integrated AFMF 2 with AMD Radeon Chill, enabling users to set a driver-controlled FPS cap for optimized gameplay.
