New AMD Fluid Motion Frames Driver enables HDR support, improves frame pacing and image quality

7 Comments

AMD has released a new AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) driver for its RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 GPUs. According to the release notes, the October 13th version enables support for HDR. Moreover, it improves frame pacing, and brings additional game support for AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+.

For those unaware, AMD Fluid Motion Frames is a driver-based version of AMD’s Frame Generation. This tech is currently compatible with all RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 GPUs. Furthermore, AFMF is not as advanced as FSR 3.0, and comes with a number of limitations. We’ve explained all of them in our previous article, so be sure to read it. And yes, our opinion hasn’t changed. AFMF still needs a lot of work to be usable in most games.

With this new driver, players can now enable AFMF globally on all DirectX 11 and 12 titles. Once you do this, you can use the per-app settings to individually disable or enable AFMF.

AMD also claims that it has made improvements to frame pacing, resulting in an overall smoother gameplay experience and improved image quality. However, AFMF will still disable itself during mid or rapid mouse movements.

Here are also the new games that now support AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ with AFMF.

  • MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries
  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
  • Sniper Elite 5
  • Returnal™
  • Remnant II
  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Spider-Man Remastered
  • PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ® II
  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderland
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Resident Evil 3

You can go ahead and download this new version of the AMD Fluid Motion Frames driver from here.

Lastly, I’ve decided to include HardwareUnboxed’s video about AFMF. This video explains all of the issues we had with AMD’s driver-based frame generation tech.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
