AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) is designed to leverage AI to generate additional frames, boosting in-game frame rates without requiring any modifications from the game developers. Initial figures suggest the tech can increase frame rates by approximately 40 percent on laptops equipped with the latest Ryzen AI chips, though performance gains will vary depending on the game.

    the problem imo is that it’s advertised absolutely incorrectly. they make it sound like the tech makes the game run faster. it doesn’t. it leverages the free resources due to the cpu bottleneck in order to interpolate frames, like those 2010’s tvs with their “9000hz motion” interpolation. it’s okay for smoothing out jerky frame movement in solo third person rpgs and stuff like that, but absolutely disgusting and unusable for first person shooters. yet, following the gaming subs on reddit, people are gushing over it like it’s free real performance increases out of thin air.

        i dont disagree with it being in a decent state. i’m just annoyed by the marketting around it, which is deceiving, if not flatout lies.

            No, the games runs at the same rate or slightly slower. The driver adds extra frames which the game knows nothing about.

                The animation is smoother but actions have a longer response time. Depending on the game that could be negative to your perception of “speed”.

                  Sure there’s an increase in latency. Most of us aren’t pro games nor are we going to miss, at most, 88ms of frame time.

                  You can also lock your framerate lower then use frame gen to boost it up, getting you the benefit of stable frame times.

                  Frame gen is really good so I’m not sure why the hate for it.

                  People complained about upscaling as well …
