AMD’s Fluid Movement Frames (AFMF) expertise took some time to return to market. When it made its debut simply over a few weeks again, help was restricted to simply two video games: Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum. It seems as if AMD is pleased with how the tech is maturing, because it’s simply launched a preview driver that extends help to effectively past a handful of white-listed titles.
In response to the driving force’s launch notes, Fluid Movement Frames help is on the market not simply on any RX 7000-series GPU, however any RX 6000-series one as effectively. However the important thing growth is that AMD says it’ll now work in any DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 sport.
That is actually nice information because it means AMD homeowners can get a ‘free’ efficiency uplift in just about any sport launched over the past 10 or extra years. As a bonus, Fluid Movement Frames could be enabled on competing GPUs too. It even capabilities on the massively fashionable and venerable GTX 1060. AMD may inadvertently be discouraging customers from upgrading if its body technology tech is broadly adopted by the general public. Not that we’re complaining!
AMD Fluid Movement Frames is AMD’s body technology expertise. It is part of the FSR 3 function set. It is designed to spice up body charges in video games at difficult settings, significantly at excessive decision or in video games with demanding ray tracing settings. For a complete overview of FSR 3 upscaling and Fluid Movement Frames expertise, it is effectively value testing Jeremy’s overview.
This dramatically widened help is in stark distinction to Nvidia’s DLSS 3 expertise, which requires per-game help and the devoted {hardware} acceleration options unique to RTX 40-series GPUs. It stays to be seen if Nvidia can adapt body technology to run on its older GPUs—that is if it is even potential given its {hardware} necessities.
AFMF and body technology expertise normally isn’t a magic bullet. Body technology will increase latencies. To fight this, AMD has launched its revised Anti-Lag+ expertise.
Notably, AFMF isn’t beneficial when body charges are low as body technology will make already excessive latencies worse. AMD recommends AFMF ought to solely be enabled for video games operating at a minimal body fee of 55 FPS for 1080p shows, and 70 FPS for 1440p or above shows.
Do be aware that the driving force is outlined as a Technical Preview, so it is not fairly prepared for a wider public launch. Nonetheless, if you’re the form of gamer that is joyful to poke round and fiddle along with your GPU settings and also you’re ready to cope with a bug or two, this driver is effectively value a glance.
