[@kobusdowney5291]

One thing you missed, The higher your base fps, the faster you can pan your view around before AFMF disables itself

[@azideiaman]

so isn't camera speed, but distance between frames?

[@94leroyal]

Yeah. Some maximum difference in angle between frames will kick it off, but I have to say when starting at even 50 fps pre-AFMF, it takes pretty quick motions to kick it off. Faster than my controller will turn the camera, but I can break it with a mouse if I'm trying.

[@Radec_G]

considering this is not supposed to be used in competitive games or anything similar (the input delay already killed that scenario) i thing it works pretty well in the general spectrum of usage

[@lorkano]

What is also important, when moving camera and fps drops due to automatically disabled frame generation, you wont even feel it. Input lag stays the same, and frame generation is enabled back instantly, even though it takes fps counter to pick up a second more. It's not "slowly ramping fps back up". Its just fps counter representing it like this. It needs to get few seconds of data to accuratly represent fps again I've been playing cyberpunk with it, barely any artifacts in normal gameplay, input lag is no big deal for me but it depends on a person.

[@TheIndulgers]

I am shocked AMD was able to pull of a decent looking driver level frame generation tech. I was certain it was going to be awful, but it somehow has less artefacts than dlss 3 did on release. Fewer issues with UI elements, and pretty respectful input latency. Sure, its use case is niche, but I can see myself using it in something like BG3. Slow turn based game with some heavy CPU limits in act 3.

[@DeSibyl]

From other videos I've seen the UI elements get absolutely destroyed by AFMF lol. Also it's kinda useless if it turns off when you move.

[@taggamer335]

​@DeSibyl it turns off when the distance between frames is too much.

[@DeSibyl]

@@taggamer335 Yea, so basically whenever you move your camera lol. Would be fine in slow paced games, but anything somewhat fast would be unusable.

[@taggamer335]

@DeSibyl Not necessarily whenever you move your camera. Definitely if you have low base fps, then it would everytime you move your camera, however at low base fps, the frame gen is bad anyway since it uses the latency of the base frame rate, so it shouldn't really be enabled then. But with a decent or high base fps, then it makes gameplay look much smoother and better without sacrifing too much input lag. It sucks that frame gen isn't that good yet for lower end or older cards due to latency and in AMFM's specific case the shutting down when too much variance in the frame, since those are the ones that could really benefit. If I move my mouse extremely quick, like I would in a shooter doing flicks, then yea it shuts off during that, though no one should really use frame gen on shooters due to the added latency already so... But with controller, it rarely shuts off even with camera sensitivity to the max. Even in regular gameplay where I actively use mouse camera, but don't move my mouse like my life depends on it, it doesn't turn off that often, though its probably because I have a decent base fps to begin with Plus frame gen is still relatively new, AMD is still in beta though its set to release in Q1 2024 i think, so not much time left, but amd software and drivers does get better with time so who knows? Hopefully amd improves there frame gen and Nvidia does another tech breakthrough or something.

[@DeSibyl]

@@taggamer335 Idk, I just went by video reviews of the AMD Driver Frame Gen. They moved their mouse even half hazardly and it shut off for them. Who knows, maybe that was a different version.

​@PrefoX lol whatever helps you sleep at night.

[@emilpapis93]

My experience in cp2077 is that my ~75 native fps interpolated to 130-160 feels quite good. Yes when you flick the mouse it turns off, but by then its already a blur so im not really noticing too much and as soon as you stop you get high fluidity again. So i think even first person games are fine, with the acknowledgement that it isnt perfect but you'll still enjoy the higher fluifity for +90% of the time, in a story based singleplayer. Its more of a "here and there" thing when you notice artifacting, it isnt some constant distraction. And for a "stupid" frame interpolation thats pretty sweet. For singleplayer titles i cannot see why not to use it unless the artifacts are really distracing to you.

[@94leroyal]

I can't get smooth frame pacing on my 6700 xt, and have excessive tearing. Those would be my reasons. But those are almost certainly both going to be fixed soon. The image quality itself is decent though, no (major) complaints, so once it's ironed out this will be sick.

@@94leroyal yeah the reports seem to be 7000 series just works better for now. Probably why they didn't release for 6000 series at first.

[@Blissy1175]

@@94leroyal You need to have vsync & enhanced sync (driver-level vsync alternative) off, and you need a relatively decent framerate before turning afmf on. iirc the info AMD released was 50fps recommended for 1080p and something like 60 fps for 1440p. So you'll want to be able to manage those framerates first, or roughly around there, before turning on AFMF. I've personally found turning motion blur on low will completely obfuscate any screen tearing and artifacts for the most part if you manage above/at the recommended FPS, but I'm on a 7900xtx so I'm not sure if it's just my GPU doing better at avoiding screen tearing or not.

[@94leroyal]

@Blissy1175 I actually got a high refresh rate monitor in the interim and have changed my opinion. When starting at ~70 fps and then doubled to a little over 120, things feel pretty good. Anything past 120, and I can't tell much of a difference. Also I think there was an error on my first driver install or something, because the god-awful tearing is gone. But I had to reinstall it a few times after undervolting too far (for some reason I need a lesser undervolt to stay stable than the previous driver), and it's working well now lol

This is the best AFMF video ever produced, I pretty much chased them all on the internet and you nailed the usefulness of the tech like no one else.

Honestly I’ve been using it in Starfield and I am loving. The fluid motion frames turn off dynamically meaning it’s not all at once so unless you are just shaking your mouse back and forth really fast it’s not going to kick all the way off. I don’t get stuttering or anything like that with it either. What I like most about it is it’s allowed me to turn off all upscaling on my 3440x1440 monitor and still have the smoothness you get with a high framerate. Also turning off the upscaling took away any sort of CPU bottlenecking I had actually resulting in less choppiness in placers like Akila city. Pretty cool honestly. My setup is a 7900xt with a 5800x3D. My average framerate for my session last night was 162 fps.

[@TioRata]

If it supported more APIs like Vulkan and OpenGL it would be a great workaround for very old games with a 30/60 FPS limit.

[@Skylancer727]

Man it's what I've been asking for for years. A driver based interpolation feature. Though think it'd be even better if I could also use it for video similar to Nvidia's upscaler. Let's be honest these are just more advanced frame interpolators like TVs already have. Still would be hugely beneficial to emulation especially where in many cases raising the frame rate is a hack, the game is too niche to have a fan hack, or there's a known way but it affects game speed.

[@lupintheiii3055]

AMD Fluid Motion was created almost 10 years ago specifically for videos, so It should also work in some way... Regarding Nvidia upscaler AMD has it's own version (even tho I can't remember the name) even tho simply using CAS sharpening filter works great most of the times.

[@Skylancer727]

@lupintheiii3055 I heard Moore's Law Is Dead make that claim of being 10 years old, but hard to say how true that is. MLID has given flawed claims before and it's something that could be lied about easily. It's really only believable because TVs have been doing the same for about 10 years now.

Elden Ring is on sale atm. Steam has 34% off the price. What are you waiting for Vex :D Seriously though, this could be a great for AMD as it will open up the market as people now decide what to choose, especially if they have an extensive game library. It will also be a great marketing coup if they can extend it through to at least the 5000 series. It seems that they are starting to put a suite of apps that if they can get to work together would be a real challenge to CUDA and brute forcing everything with HW. The only question is, will they? That's because giving extra life to older GPUs is hardly in their interest unless it ties into their APUs.

[@MuttleyGriffin]

Could also argue in some cases that it reduces energy consumption, similarly to how FSR helps there. In games which could render natively at higher fps, Lock your fps to say, 60-120, turn on AFMF, then let that boost your fps rather than pure GPU power

[@विचित्रलड़का]

[@whiplash2891]

Amd should give us the option to enable it like 30% of the time. For example: i dont care about having 200 fps but i do care about not going under my monitors Freesync range (in my case 80hz) SO it would be cool if we could enable afmf and set it to never make the fps go under a fixed amount and when its above that to turn off so we dont get artifacts.

[@Kyo-uo1lr]

About moving camera fast thing, that's probably because there is radeon boost tech, which lowers resolution while you move your mouse fast. So you should use AFMF, Boost and Anti-Lag, as far as i know.

[@phinicota]

@vextakes you keep saying it's about the mouse movement. I think it's related to how much the image is changing. A simple way to test it would be to increase the fov in a game and see if it turns off as much with the same amount of moise movement.

[@paul1979uk2000]

It stands to reason that the higher the base frame rate is, the less issues there will be in motion, especially with really high frame rates as he showed in this video. The real question will be is how low of a frame rate can they go whiles having an acceptable image quality, basically the same with image upscaling, where they keep getting better, where they can get more out of a lower resolution, it will be interesting to see how that develops with frame gen. The holy grail would be if they can get 30fps working well to 60fps, which won't look good for now, but with a few years of development, who knows, that would be a game changer for low, mid-end gamers and for console gamers, it would also mean gamers that play at 1080p/60fps would be able to output to something like 4k/120fps without braking the bank. It's going to be interesting to see how frame gen and resolution upscaling keeps developing over the next 5-10 years, as it's likely only going to keep getting better, especially as A.I. is on the cusp of a revolution over the next decade.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

Not really. You can already get 2, 3 and even 4 fake frames in between real ones. It still works like shit because of how tech is working in the first place - if game is running at 30fps, everything in it will also happen at 30fps, even if there is 5 times more frames on monitor.

[@MrSmitheroons]

Glad to see someone look at the bright side or be optimistic, saying, "okay, you own a PC already, what's the benefit of this feature you might want to use? Can it help your gaming or not?" so it's easier to consider why we might want it. Not just be super skeptical and more pessimistic like most reviewers. I can see why most reviewers are cautious about the feature, GPU manufacturers want to claim "double performance" when it's technically a slight performance hit in the main engine loop, and a hit to latency, and adds artifacts, but there is also some boost in visual smoothness... It's a trade-off. Low-end gamers are used to low visual quality. If they can turn up base settings --> higher visual quality, then boost frames with frame-gen to compensate, and accept a few more artifacts and temporal glitches in exchange, many may want to do that. That's not the sort of compromise high-end hardware owners often have to make even before talking about frame-gen, so of course reviews based on premium setups are more skeptical. Low-end gamers have to live with compromises since forever. Whether artifacts or base framerate matter more is hugely subjective. I bet a lot of people will prefer smoothness and not care about artifacts. Others would be happier with a lower FPS and no artifacts, maybe they pixel peep a lot while gaming or they just "can't unsee" the artifacts and it bothers them too much to enjoy the game. It's like the meme: "[Gen Z, sobbing]: Noooo, you can't just turn on AFMF, the frames aren't real!!!!" [Boomer, with an expression of ignorance is bliss]: FPS go brr." Anyway, memes aside, it's a valid trade-off to consider, IMO. (Companies should be careful with marketing, but IMO it's an okay feature.)

I have messed with frame generation quite a bit, it seems the most useful for 30fps or even 60fps emulators, there is virtually no artifacting in 2D games not even in sonic 1 2 and 3 at full speed. The majority of the artifacting is caused by quick camera panning and intensified by fog and foliage textures. It seems to have more of a performance hit and more artifacting the more detailed the scene is, so your ideal candidate is a game that you are already hitting a solid frame rate and staying at, you need considerable performance overhead to get the most out of it

[@shihabuddinahmad7284]

Sometimes the game' s cut scenes eat a lot of FPS for example RDR2, AC series etc. AFMF will definitely be useful for those cut scenes.

[@sharky9056]

Try this with oled black frame insertion to double again the feeling of smoothness

[@sicksicksick-n7q]

naah I switched to RTX 3070 from 6700 XT , there is no problem with driver anymore and DLSS look good.

[@korinogaro]

YOu mean the feature that turns itself off when there is a lot of pixels changing on the screen? So like when you move camera fast or there is a lot of action on the screen? The feature that stops working when you need it the most? This feature?

[@DesocupadoXtremo]

Its a beta driver of a feature released literally weeks ago, AMD is still smothing the edges of implementation yet, and see when it actually release in the main drivers and for 6000 series to, it will be a game changer

[@eugene12310mobile]

This will be a very phenomenal feature for Racing Games

[@davidwithey6036]

It don't turn off when move fast its the interpreted frames on the game the driver can't get that because that's done by the API

[@marcusbighouse]

Im no new tech expert, im still on the GTX era games. But this "System lag" monitoring seems pretty cool. How much system lag does a simple "V-sync" does? Because I can feel the lag in the very first mouse moving to already detect there is V-sync, which basically made me get rid of it in everygame. Só.. my question basically is: how much system lag am I feeling with vsync?

[@frxdrl]

Compared to consoles you still have a lot of playground for the delay so any of these features just helps the price performance against consoles

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

Consoles just copy features from PCs.

[@frxdrl]

Yes but it increases the delay even more from the console so they won’t copy this feature no?

[@michahojwa8132]

I've finished cyberpunk phantom liberty adding afmf on 45fps 1800p fsrb - it's double perceived resolution than 1440p fsrp and still near 60fps most of the time. The age of shameless has begun. And afmf had one more advantage - it should double 60fps of 1% low so will effectively lock to 120fps down to 99% and most of the time in cyberpunk. I've played quake 2 in 320x200. I've played assassin's Greece with tv fps doubler - and it worked from 30fps alright - but the game dipped frequently - no amount of tv magic could fix that. Cyberpunk in afmf added on 45fps is just wonderful. I've finished the game with path tracing on 7900xt on 1800p fsrb ! it's pure magic. And AMD was fast enough this time. Simply marvelous.

[@Kingpin267]

I have RX 7800XT And i dont see AFMF on my Adrenaline settings, does it also require AMD CPU or ?

[@groza8179]

Only available on beta driver, because it's still not ready yet.

[@TheBlackAnomaly]

What about power consumption? Like using this AFMF tech, capping fps at 60/100, consumes goes less or stay the same?

[@joseramlakan]

What software are you using to measure system lag? I dont have this option using my radeon software. 😢

[@MK-xc9to]

The best is , if you get 60 FPS with raytraycing you can push it to >100 FPS without the need of a > 1000 Dollar GPU , yes , Latency is not as good but RT Games are mostly not that Latency sensitive , i am surprised that AMD made iAFMF for RX6000 that fast aviable . I believe VRR works with AFMF , no VSYNC , no HDR but i guess this will all aviable in 1Q24 . Its a Tech Preview Driver and its clear that AMD still has work to do , but in my eyes releasing this Driver was the right Decision , it shows the potencial of AFMF and it shows thats NV limiting of FG to RTX 4000 is Bullshit , FG does not need that much compute Power , even an GTX 1xxx or AMDs Polaris can use FSR3 + FG if implemented in the Game

[@incrediLance]

@9:10 nice would be, if they would give you the option to use a "half refresh rate" mode to a 120hz monitor. this way you can have the 120fps but your input is capped to 60fps / 16.6ms. This is in my mind the best scenario: AFMF + FSR3 + FG + 50%sync.

[@Extentiality]

Plus radeon boost

[@laersieh]

Does AFMF affect 3D benchmarks like the TimeSpy score ?

[@karllaunchbaugh5437]

Great video and I’m glad you made it! How is this different than FSR3 though? I feel like I’m not keeping up with the differences between frame generation tech 🤷‍♂️

[@battlepowered]

FSR3 is upscaling tech like dlss. AFMF is frame Gen on a software level.

[@WhoAreYouQu3stionMark]

If AMD keeps updating and upgrading AFMF they could potentially remove the thing where it disables itself from fast mouse movement it would be even cooler

[@laszlodajka5946]

I hear there is a updated version of afmf. Wonder if they managed to solve the quality problems at the time of quick movements so that they can keep afmf on all times

[@o0Silverwolf0o]

Afmf is trash currently. Implementing it reduces performance so rendered framerate drops, it works on the driver level so no communication with the game itself so the fake frams are juddery, it introduces screen tearing and ghosting, artifacts not to mention input lag. But if you are just looking for a high number regardless of quality, this is perfect for you.

Does this work with Nvidia / Intel / 'If there is something else that i dont know' GPUs?

[@hatchetman3662]

Well, I'm upgrading to 7800 XT from a 2070 Super. This tech is part of why I'm getting an AMD card instead of another Nvidia one. Also, I really wanted DLSS and Ray Reconstruction. But I wanted 16GB of VRAM more.

[@stylox-c2c]

I tested this on Saints Row 4 in 4K ultra on my 7900xtx I went from 100fps to 360 fps

[@labrat810]

What about 'Retro' titles using dgVoodoo2 or DxWnd to wrap DX 7-back titles into DX11/12? There's more than a few classics on PC w/ 30 or 60fps framecaps @ the engine-level.

[@randomguy4379]

Elden Ring framerate can be uncapped via mod, however all Dark Souls games have frame limit and they would benefit from AFMF.

[@evono9207]

What software is VEX using to monitor the FPS ? Afterburner doesnt detect AFMF frames.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Nice video. Curious as to why "Vulkan" isn't being used more.

[@arenzricodexd4409]

Same reason why game developer avoid using opengl.

[@Azarilh]

The problem is that the dips in FPS while moving the camera around can feel irritating to the eyes. This is why on low end GPUs it's good to cap the frames to 30, because moving from 50 to 35, for example, feels terrible. I can't even imagine how it might feel to move from 120 to 60 ( assuming the monitor is at least 120 Hz ).

[@YTSZAZU]

AFMF works great on turn based games? Like battletech, civilization?

How to enable AFMF on Risk of Rain 2 guys i have an rx 6800 and the newest experimental driver installed, but when i enable it it show me an yellow warning "incompatible with the game's display mode" i run the game on full screen with and without vsync and it didn't work...

[@mu-sensei3171]

Genshin Impact also has an 60fps cap and its free to play, can you test if it works on that (not on your main account if you have one!)

[@tomtee_]

im so excited to play old 30fps locked games at 60fps with emulation

[@challengegravity]

I hope that this feature might become possible using iGPUs... imagine having your nice new AM5 processor (with room for future upgrades) paired with an NVIDIA GPU, and combining AMD's AFMF with NVIDIA's DLSS without the need of two discrete GPUs... just the integrated.

[@Ghostlynotme445]

Just an FYI before anyone thinks this is some kind of holy grail and cure to all performance issues from AMD: - FMF is inferior to FSR3 - You need high base (pre-frame-generation) FPS (60fps for 1080p, ~70+ for 1440p and above) for the picture to be smoother and not look like kinda-somewhat-more fluid mess - Somewhat connected to the one above, if you "feel" that it is worse than pre-frame-generation don't force yourself because it shows higher fps - in-game or steam overlay or anything similar fps counters won't show generated frames, only AMD Adrenalin software - It is and will be worse than high native framerate, even if native would be a bit lower than with generated frames That being said, this is an amazing software jump for AMD, I'm using it all the time with Starfield on my 7900XT and it works great.

[@Deliveredmean42]

I imagine this can work on those weird DX11 games that are locked exclusively to 60fps, and using it to maybe circunvent it can be useful.

How about 30 fps ?

[@andyelliss6743]

so i tried it this morning in cyberpunk on my 5950x, 32gb ram, 6900xt system. i used the hardware unboxed best settings from the video they released last week or so. i also turned on RT lighting to medium, and turned the sun RT setting on. my base fps was around 55fps with frame gen i was hitting around 93fps. my input lag from frame gen was around 31ms. i could not feel the input lag though. it was actually really surprising. as for visuals i cant really tell any different from just using fsr 2.1 quality on its own. the only issues i found was during the first mission you meet Dex, his glasses looked a bit janky. this could be fsr 2.0, frame gen, RT being set to medium or all of the above. either way if you can look passed that flaw it is more than usable for SP games. i cant see myself ever using it in a online PVP game like BF or COD
