Summary
AMDusers with a Ryzen AI processor are in luck, as the tech giant released a new Radeon Software preview driver that includes support for AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF2) technology on AI-powered hardware. AlthoughAMDFluid Motion Frames entered the preview state in July, the latest update will allow more users to test it out before its full official release.
Often compared to Nvidia’s Frame Generation technology, AMD Fluid Motion Frames uses AI to generate additional frames and reduce latency to give PC gamers an improved experience in different titles. Unlike AMD’s FSR or Nvidia DLSS upscaling techniques, AMD Fluid Motion Frames can be turned on at the driver software level alongside AMD’s Radeon Anti-Lag option. However, Fluid Motion Frames is exclusive to AMD Radeon preview drivers, which may not be stable as a full release. Fluid Motion Frames also require an AMD Radeon graphics card, such asthe Radeon RX 7700 XT and the Radeon RX 6600, or an AMD processor with integrated Radeon graphics.
AlthoughAMD’s Ryzen AI 300 seriesprocessors are still fresh on the market, users will now have an additional option for gaming on them. According toa blog post by AMD, Fluid Motion Frames 2 is now available in a technical preview driver for Ryzen AI 300 processors, which will allow the driver to reallocate system resources with just a few option toggles. After downloading and installing the AMD Radeon Software preview driver on supported hardware, users can turn on AFMF2 by navigating to the Gaming tab and selecting the respective option. AMD’s Variable Graphics Memory feature will also activate on Ryzen AI processors, which will allow users to convert system RAM to video RAM after a system reboot. This can be adjusted by going to the Performance tab, navigating to Tuning, and selecting the “Medium” or “High” preset options.
AMD Launches Fluid Motion Frames 2 Support For Ryzen AI Processors
AMD usedthe graphically intenseCyberpunk 2077as a benchmark for how AFMF2 would work on a Ryzen AI HX 370 processor. AMD claimed that, after turning on Fluid Motion Frames and FSR upscaling,Cyberpunk 2077could run at up to 100 frames per second (FPS) at 1080p using a low settings preset. With Fluid Motion Frames and Variable Graphics Memory active, other titles such asFar Cry 6andF1 23reached over 100 FPS at 1080p.
Between the new Ryzen AI driver, andcontinued work on the Z2 Extreme processorsfor gaming tablets, AMD is looking to give users more ways to enjoy high-end PC gaming on the go. Only time will tell how AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technology will fare down the line.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is AMD’s latest and greatest CPU when it comes to gaming. With an excellent and highly efficient gaming performance that tops the charts currently, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is here to stay and has a crown to claim thanks to its 3D V-Cache-enabled prowess when it comes to gaming on a PC.The octa-core CPU currently happens to be the fastest in the business for gaming even as it leads efficiency charts at the top, making it a very sought-after gaming upgrade.
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G 8-Core, 16-Thread CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G 8-Core, 16-Thread CPU is a powerful APU that delivers modest gaming performance for PCs that do not currently utilize a discrete GPU by using the fastest iGPU solution currently available to end users.It comes bundled with a stock cooler, an octa-core CPU config, and a rated TDP of 65W, making it a great well-priced alternative to many budget CPU and GPU combos on the market currently.The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G also happens to be one of AMD’s first desktop CPUs that offers the AMD Ryzen AI engine built into the chip.
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a budget friendly offering that features six cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz. It is even more efficient than the Ryzen 5 7600X as it consumes only 65W of power, but delivers better overall performance.
