AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 - GTA 5 and Radeon 780M: Frame Gen With No Graphics Card

AMD recently released their new preview driver and with it, AMD AFMF 2 or Fluid Motion Frames. This allows 6000 and 7000 GPU owners, as well as certain iGPU owners to enable frame generation at driver level. Today I thought I'd try it with the 8700G and GTA V.

Thanks for watching :)

you can also enable framegen ingame by using the "alt+shift+g" shortcut.

Wondering how GTA 4 would run enabling this 🤔 with and without DXVK as you mentioned "unoptimized titles"

While I've come to learn to not trust companies, I really enjoy how competitive AMD is on the software side of things.

[Trick-Framed]

PEOPLE when that pop up happens, send the data to AMD. If you do they can improve the drivers faster.

[Profetorum]

Since you mentioned emulation, just saying an Android dev (Lyb) has been developing frame gen for Android and they even released a beta version of it. Incredible to think of

5:05 I feel you there....unfortunately they've already started doing that ever since FSR and DLSS caught on a few years back. I've seen some pretty poorly optimized games and when asked about it, a few of the dev responses would be to use FSR/DLSS for better performance.

Other than that, AFMF2 is great for emulators especially. Since they utilize Vulkan and OpenGL more than DirectX, I can play some of my favorite old games at 60-120fps (depending on if the game's FPS cap was 30 or 60) and make it feel like a whole different experience. I've already been using AFMF 1 with Breath of the Wild, so I'm excited to try out AFMF 2 with it when the drivers are more...stable 😅

This tech seems very interesting for revisiting old games with hard-coded framerate caps.

Playing 100+ FPS with high settings on an APU is insane... I know, it's not the same as native 100+ FPS, but in most games with AFMF 2 it really is smoother (unlike AFMF which was kinda bad with frame pacing and it turned off too easily with fast movements).

My wife likes it a lot. She has a 4k 60 monitor, and it makes the gameplay more fluid for her. I didn't tell her I turned it on, and she's like, why does my game feel smooter? lol.

[LiquidSnake]

I personally would love to see you to test AFMF 2 in more games!

[Tunnelfish]

I'm glad that AMD puts this out to help people. I generally don't need it with my 7900 XT.

[XavandSo]

AFMF 1 is a god send for my ROG Ally, it helps games hit close to 120FPS so I can take full advantage of the 120Hz screen. It's not perfect but damn it is appreciated.

[JeanRosa-qcmb]

just got a rx 6650 xt and a 2.5k 165hz monitor, coming from a gtx 970 and a 900p 60hz monitor. can't wait for them to arrive 😅 and fsr 3.1 along with afmf 2 came at the same time. booy i'm happy right now.

[KianFloppa]

This is great. Just used it with RX 7600. I got no crashes and its without a doubt better than 1st version.

[EpicTyphlosionTV]

As an Nvidia guy, I'm super jealous. I'd kill to have something like this that works on all my games!

[christophermullins]

I love to see one of my favorite channels recommending another one of my favorite channels. ❤ Both you and ancient gameplays top tier pc gaming channels. 🎉

[Grandmaster-Kush]

It's a good day to be a 6700 XT budget enjoyer

[dcikaruga]

Curious to see if the crappy 6500 and 6400 will benefit from this.

[greendude]

Digital foundry said when reviewing Elden Ring with lossless scaling not to expect the tool to fix frame pacing issues, which from softs engine is known for imo. So I don’t think developers will be getting away with bad game optimization ever

I don't think i've ever clicked faster on a YouTube notification. 🤯
