AMD Fluid Motion Frames of AFMF is the company’s driver-based frame generation solution, which means that with a compatible Radeon GPU and the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, you can enable the technology in thousands of games via this one-click solution.
3Latency reduction and improved image quality, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 adds frame generation to countless games.

As a driver-based solution, AFMF differs from AMD’s FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation, which require per-game implementation. AFMF debuted not that long ago, and the consensus is that its impressive tech has the potential to become a game changer for boosting performance in a wide range of machines, including mobile devices like the Steam Deck.
In a surprise announcement, AMD has launched AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 into ‘Technical Preview,’ promising lower latency and higher performance. Thanks to new AI-optimized enhancements, AMD calls it a “significant upgrade” from the initial release.
Like the original AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 or AFMF 2, it is available on all Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 Series graphics cards and AMD Ryzen Processors with integrated Radeon Graphics. AFMF 2’s new AI-optimized enhancements have improved the algorithm and overall smoothness of the technology when temporarily disabled in scenes with high motion. The results are a reduction in jitter and an overall improvement in image quality.
There’s also a new Performance Mode designed for AFMF 2 to scale across a wide range of hardware. Discrete graphics cards with abundant GPU horsepower will default to the Quality mode. In contrast, Performance mode reduces the overhead to make AFMF 2 compatible with “a wider range of devices” – namely, mobile.
3The most significant improvement comes with lower latency, with AMD noting up to 28% lower latency compared to the initial AMD Fluid Motion Frames when playing Cyberpunk 2077 with AFMF 2 enabled in 4K. Latency is also reduced in Counter-Strike 2 by up to 12% with AFMF 2 enabled with the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G Desktop Processor with Radeon 780M Graphics in 1080p. AMD notes that the tech can be combined with AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 technology.
AFMF 2 also supports borderless fullscreen, so a game no longer needs to be in ‘exclusive fullscreen’ mode. In addition, AFMF 2 now works with Vulkan and OpenGL games, so you’d be hard-pressed to find a game where you can’t enable frame generation. Finally, AMD has made it so that AFMF 2 works in conjunction with AMD Radeon Chill, which prevents the FPS from going above the maximum refresh rate of your display to improve performance and image quality.
