AMD’s Latest Driver Brings Fluid Motion Frames 2 to Ryzen AI Processors

AMD has launched a new Radeon Software preview driver that supports AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF2) technology for users with Ryzen AI processors. This update marks a significant enhancement, allowing more gamers to experience smoother gameplay by generating extra frames using AI, similar to Nvidia's Frame Generation technology.

Originally introduced in a preview state in July, AMD Fluid Motion Frames aims to reduce latency and enhance gaming performance. Unlike other technologies like AMD’s FSR or Nvidia's DLSS, which are mainly focused on upscaling, AFMF2 works directly at the driver level and can be activated alongside the Radeon Anti-Lag option. However, since it’s still in the preview stage, it may not be as stable as a full driver release.

For now, the new feature is available exclusively to AMD Radeon graphics card users, such as those with the Radeon RX 7700 XT or RX 6600, as well as those with Ryzen AI processors with integrated Radeon graphics. AMD users can enable this feature by downloading and installing the latest Radeon Software preview driver and toggling the options under the Gaming tab.

In addition, AMD's Variable Graphics Memory feature for Ryzen AI processors allows users to convert system RAM to VRAM, optimizing game performance further. For instance, games like Cyberpunk 2077 can reach up to 100 frames per second (FPS) at 1080p when using low settings combined with AFMF2 and FSR.

AMD continues to push the boundaries of gaming technology with developments like AFMF2 and its focus on high-performance gaming for both desktops and mobile platforms. These innovations give AMD users more ways to enjoy immersive gaming experiences on their devices, including gaming tablets powered by the upcoming Z2 Extreme processors.
