AMD Brings Frame Generation to Radeon RX 6000 Series with Updated AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Preview Driver for AMD Fluid Motion Frames

AMD has announced that it has updated its AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Technical Preview Driver for AMD Fluid Motion Frames, bringing the frame generation component of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 to Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs. The feature, which was originally rolled out for the newer Radeon RX 7000 Series last week, can be enabled via HYPR-RX and Adrenalin Edition software to boost the performance of what is said to be any DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 game, including Cyberpunk 2077, with deeper integration for select titles that include Starfield and Red Dead Redemption 2. AMD says that it is currently working on improving the overall smoothness and image quality of its Fluid Motion Frames technology, which, according to AMD’s benchmarks, can help deliver frame rates as high as 201 FPS in demanding titles like Forspoken.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Technical Preview Driver for AMD Fluid Motion Frames Version 23.30.01.02 Release Notes

New Feature Highlights

• AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) Technical Preview – Boost FPS with frame generation technology for a smoother gaming experience.
  • AFMF adds frame generation technology to DirectX 11 and 12 games on AMD Radeon RX 7000 (and now 6000!) Series Desktop Graphics Cards.
    • We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.
  • AFMF preserves image quality by dynamically disabling frame generation during fast motion.

• AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF)
  • AFMF may be enabled for any DirectX 11 and 12 title such as Cyberpunk 2077 using the per-app settings within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

    • A Plague Tale – Requiem
    • Borderlands 3

• AFMF can introduce additional latency in games and is recommended to be combined with AMD Radeon Anti-Lag/Anti-Lag+ for the optimal experience.
  • As AFMF may introduce additional latency in games, AFMF may not offer the optimal experience in fast-paced competitive titles.
• The AFMF technical preview currently requires the game to be played in fullscreen mode with HDR disabled and VSYNC disabled.
  • For the optimal experience, AFMF is recommended to be used on AMD FreeSync displays.
  • Users are recommended to disable HDR in Windows Display Settings, or disable HDR in the game (as well as Auto-HDR).
• AFMF features an activity monitor similar to AMD Radeon Super Resolution to confirm the frame generation status using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition’s in-game overlay (use the default hotkey of Alt-R for the fullscreen overlay, or Alt-Z for the sidebar overlay)
• AFMF is recommended to be enabled for games running at a minimum fps of 55 FPS for 1080p displays, and 70 FPS for 1440p or above displays
• AFMF adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside of the game’s engine. To see the resulting FPS, use the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay. Support for third-party performance monitoring tools is not available at this moment.

Fixed Issues

• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition may fail to install on some systems.
• AFMF status indicator may suggest disabling HDR when it is already disabled.
• A BSOD may be experienced during installation on certain systems (as reported by the community)

Known Issues

• Intermittent driver crashes have been observed while AFMF is enabled and the game’s resolution is changed or a task switch happens (such as alt-tab between different windows).
• Brief corruption may be observed when switching between windows with AFMF enabled on some 144Hz or greater monitors.
• Brief stutter may be experienced after closing the Xbox Game Bar.
• FreeSync displays may report an erratic FPS when AFMF is enabled.
• Some metrics such as frame time may show inconsistent results when AFMF is enabled.
• The performance metrics overlay may intermittently fail to appear (as reported by the community)

We listened to your feedback and are excited to bring AMD Fluid Motion Frames support to Radeon RX 6000 Series with the latest update to the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Preview Driver. Available now!
