AMD launches Fluid Motion Frames 2 Tech with AMD Software 24.9.1

AMD officially launches AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF 2) with their 24.9.1 drivers

AMD Software 24.9.1 is a major driver release from team Radeon. With this driver, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 is now available to all users with supported hardware. Previously, this feature was only available as part of preview drivers.  Additionally, this driver has added Radeon Anti-Lag Vulkan support for games like Counter-Strike 2.

Furthermore, this driver is optimised for recent game releases like Fronstpunk 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2. Previously, optimised drivers for these games were only available in beta or preview form.

We have created PC Performance Reviews for Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 and God of War Ragnarok.

AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2

A major advancement in frame generation technology for AMD HYPR-RX.

Lower Latency and Higher Performance
AFMF 2 enhances fast-paced gaming by significantly reducing frame generation latency and improving performance scaling through new modes.

Fast Motion Optimization
Enjoy smoother gameplay and higher FPS with improved frame generation consistency during fast motion.

Improved Borderless-Fullscreen Support
Expanded display mode support for RDNA 3 series graphics products ensures compatibility with virtually all borderless fullscreen games.

Expanded API Support
AFMF 2 can now be enabled for any OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX 11, and DirectX 12 titles.

Radeon Chill Interoperability
AFMF 2 now supports Radeon Chill, providing a low-latency FPS capping option.

Optimized AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series Support
AFMF 2 is optimized for an extensive list of AMD products, including AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors.

AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 Vulkan Support for Counter-Strike 2

AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 now supports the Vulkan API, offering additional responsive gaming options. Radeon Anti-Lag 2 introduces an in-game option to optimally pace frames, further reducing input lag on AMD RDNA architecture-based graphics products.

  • Users looking for a way to measure response time can use our Frame Latency Meter (FLM) or the built-in latency monitor in AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2.
  • Use the ALT+SHIFT+L hotkey to enable the Radeon Anti-Lag 2 Latency Monitor. Once activated, a small white chevron will appear in the top left corner of your display, indicating that it is enabled.
  • Use ALT+SHIFT+L again to cycle through the following Latency Monitor display options: No metrics, FPS only, FPS and latency (in ms), FPS and latency (in ms and frames), FPS and latency (in ms and frames) with a legend.
  • To compare the difference between Anti-Lag 2 On and Anti-Lag Off, hold the right CTRL key.

Geometric Downscaling for Video

Improved image quality by reducing artifacts during downscaled video playback.
Geometric Downscaling is supported on AMD Radeon 800M integrated graphics, as well as AMD Radeon RX 7000 series desktop and mobile discrete graphics cards.

Fixed Issues and Improvements

Intermittent driver timeout or application crash while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
Intermittent driver timeout or application crash during certain cutscenes while playing FINAL FANTASY XVI on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 6600 XT.
Overly dark shadows or desaturated colors may be observed while playing Black Myth: Wukong when Global Illumination is to Medium or higher.
Intermittent in-game corruption may be observed while playing Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT with AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Record & Streaming and HDR enabled.
AFMF may become inactive after enabling certain on-screen overlays.
AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition may unexpectedly initiate upon system wake from sleep mode.
Audio and video may intermittently become out of sync while recording using the AV1 codec in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

AMD Software GPU support

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.9.1 supports graphics cards as far back as AMD’s Radeon RX 5000 series. This driver only supports RDNA-based Radeon graphics cards.

PC gamers can download AMD’s 24.9.1 GPU driver for RDNA and newer GPUs here.
