AMD has launched the technical preview of AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), which boasts significant upgrades, including up to 28% lower latency compared to its predecessor.

This new version supports a wide range of graphics APIs, including Vulkan, OpenGL, DirectX 11, and DirectX 12, enhancing compatibility for various games.

The driver expands borderless-fullscreen support, ensuring compatibility with nearly all borderless-fullscreen games for RDNA 3 series graphics products.

AFMF 2 introduces a new 'Performance mode' that allows users to prioritize frame rates over image quality, with settings for Auto, Performance, and Quality.

As this feature is currently in technical preview, AMD encourages user feedback to refine the final release, expected by the end of the year.

The official release of AFMF 2 is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024, following the technical preview phase.

The updated system allows for more customization, including resolution-specific fallback systems and adjustable shader power settings.

The initial version of AFMF faced challenges with anti-cheat software and image quality, issues that AMD has worked to address in this new iteration.

AFMF 2 is now interoperable with Radeon Chill, allowing users to set a frame rate cap while maintaining image quality and preventing screen tearing.

Testing AFMF 2 with 'Homeworld 3' revealed a significant increase in frame rates, jumping from 35 fps without AFMF to 74 fps with AFMF 2.

The technical preview is available immediately for users with supported AMD GPUs through the latest Radeon Software driver.
