AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2, a new frame generation technology that is now available on AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors through the Technical Preview release driver, is capable of delivering up to 78% higher FPS in select games that include Cyberpunk 2077, the initially maligned but now critically acclaimed RPG from CD PROJEKT RED, AMD has announced. Variable Graphics Memory, a separate technology that allows users to convert up to 75% of their system RAM to VRAM, has also been introduced for Ryzen AI 300 Series CPUs.
AMD writes:
- “AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2…adds new optimizations and tunable settings for a better frame generation experience and includes AI-optimized enhancements for excellent quality, low latency, and amazing performance.”
- “Variable Graphics Memory is a newly introduced feature for AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors. It allows the user to convert up to 75% of the system RAM to dedicated graphics memory or vRAM.”
- “Some games are hard coded with minimum vRAM requirements and VGM will allow those games to run as expected on PCs powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors.”
- “Variable Graphics Memory can also slightly boost FPS in games that have a lot of memory turnover (by removing overflow from the default allocation of 512 MB).”
- “Both AFMF 2 and VGM are integrated into the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition application.”

AMD on what gamers expect:
Performance will vary depending on the exact game title and settings used and we look forward to hearing feedback from your experience with AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2, VGM and HYPR-RX. On mobility platforms like AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors, AMD recommends first tuning the game settings to be able to maintain an FPS of 50 (1080p) before turning on AFMF 2. Turning on VGM also allows titles like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy to run on AMD Ryzen AI 300 series PCs by fulfilling their minimum vRAM requirement.
