AFMF: Was I Wrong?!?

- AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) just released in their latest drivers. In this review I take a look at the full release version and see if it has improved since the preview drivers I tested. I also see how it stacks up against a fully implementation of AMD's FSR 3 Frame Generation.

Every time Daniel uploads a video, it feels like seeing a good friend. Genuine, informative, thorough, and just dog gone friendly. My only membership on YT. :)
Wow, thank you!
Yeah Dan feels like your friend who just wants to fill you in on the best stuff to know for your pc gaming experience haha
@@danielowentechCan you please try out lossless scaling's LFG. Identical concept but a far better implementation in my opinion
It doesn't "give up' like FMF does. And outside of UI artifacts, it's essentially an artifact free presentation(at 120 fps(locked)to 240hz for me)
You need to play the games on medium to high and you should be using freesync premium at the very least mr owen@danielowentech
If you like content like this, check out Digital Foundry. Whereas Daniel drills down deep into specific topics, DF takes a bit of a broader view of the overall gaming landscape, and their content is incredibly well made. Not to talk down on Daniel of course! It’s just a different vibe.
Daniel you do your work well and it is obviously to see the effort you give us. Keep on it! You let us feel you are a good friend and let us show beyond the stages. Thumbs up! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I have to say, just watching how FMF spikes the frametimes, drops fps, and creates stutter and judder all across the screen that you can see captured by the 120fps...yeah Daniel, don't be bothered by people when you're telling the damn truth that's so clear to see. People are so used to looking at just fps that they don't know about 1% lows, they dont understand latency, they haven't learned how measurements have improved over the last 20 years. You gotta show people the truth behind fps!! The latency and the frame pacing and the image quality!
Hello Daniel!
First of all, you are amazing, you really report as a colleague or friend would and that is very good, it is greatly appreciated.
Regarding AFMF, I think you are correct and everyone's perception is different. However, what we can do to understand each other is to share experiences.
Personally, I use YES or YES a setting for the games I want to play with AFMF.
This is not there or at least it does not appear to me in the global configurations of the driver, but it does appear in the particular configurations of each game.
I simply go to the games section, choose the game, and there is an option called "Radeon Enhanced Sync"
Yes or yes I activate it if I am going to use AFMF, since it is the closest thing there is to Vsync for AFMF at the moment, yes, when the frames go below the refresh rate you feel a "whiplash" of frames (either due to the demands of the game, turning the camera more than 60 degrees quickly or both), although in general the experience is much more fluid.
In addition to the Radeon boost with the resolution change to 16.7%
Radeon image sharpening at 70%
Particularly I play at 1440p. On a Rx 6700 10gb
And so far it has worked quite well for the games I play. (Genshin impact, resident evil, Rocket league... Yes rocket league with AFMF, call me crazy if you want hahaha)
If you like to try, go ahead. I hope my experience helps you
Greetings!!!
No you're not wrong, you're a reviewer, you're supposed to be having high expectations and nitpicking every small detail. It's just that the majority of gamers doesn't see it the same way. Hardware reviews and real world gaming are two very different subjects, just look at the steam charts what games are being played, and look at your videos what games you benchmark.
it is genuinely tough to watch the UE5 games being benchmarked bc im not interested in any of them lol. Glad to see plague tale in this video
good point, i do think Daniel has a healthy amount of skepticism and realism and that makes him a good and unique reviewer.
But hey at least now we can get FG although it's driver level/ forced FG, since game devs for what ever reason took a frikkin long time to implement FSR3 natively, not to mention Nvidia sponsored titles, who knows when those games gonna update to FSR3, so might as well use Afmf and hope it run well, cause so far it's a hit and miss for me, slow paced games like BG3 run quite well while face paced games like avatar don't.
Plague Tale Requiem looks much better anyways @@MagikarpPower
Biggest win with AFMF is that we can now discuss frame gen without people screeming fake frames and latency killer every other comment. The AMD users have now fully embraced frame gen.
To answer your question: the foliage issues in Plague Tale definitely come across in a youtube video. When AFMF is engaged, the foliage looks like it fizzling and breaking up during camera movements.
basically txaa :D
It did it in Avatar too. Looks a bit weird, but maybe someone else won't mind 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like it extrapolate TAA issues
@@heasterian2508 This is an interesting thought. I wonder if the same foliage issues occur in games which don't use TAA? 🤔
@@WickedRibbonnah. TAA should be disabled by default
Ancientgameplay did a tutorial on how to properly use AFMF, and i do find that locking your fps below your max refresh rate is better than unlocked fps, for ex if you hitting above 60-70fps and your max refresh rate is 120hz, with AFMF enabled you will get severe screen tearing, while locking your fps to 59 bring far better experience with AFMF.
let me get this straight. if i am getting 70 fps, native, i should use 2 additional technologies which add a layer of latency, scales a lower res image than the native one and cap it at 59 fps. you cannot be serious, lol
@@gloomsurvivor Well no one is forcing you to use it, just turn it off, it's a driver level implementation and not forced FG, beside it is used to backfill your high refresh rate monitor and thus bring a perceived smoothness to visual quality it's not a performance improving tech, though i do hate it as well when they use FG as marketing tool to compare it with previous gen gpus as if it got far better performance with it enabled.
i dont got screen tearing even when i have more than 165 fps with AFMF which is the max my monitor supports, 7800xt with HP X34 monitor, in fact i never had screen tearing on that monitor period.
@@gloomsurvivor mr Thomas kinda misquote Ancient Gameplay, from my perspective, AFMF is not FSR, also, first thing to do is determine the max refresh rate of your monitor. So, for a 120hz monitor, AFMF is useless because you have to cap using RTSS to 59, which is BAD all around. now if the monitor is say, 240hz, then u cap using RTSS to 119, turn on AFMF, and if all is well, you should have a 'fluider' experience up to 238
@@gloomsurvivor yea AMD frame gen tech is still no there compared to Nvidia, DLSS 3 at 70fps would just give you 90-120fps no hassles needed
My own Tests with FMF are: Don't use it in FPS Games due to the high input lag but also fast movements, it workes great in Flight Simulator or City Skylines (doubling the FPS). All in all, for some Games, it's really usefull, for others not so much
Also the fact it turns off and on...can create lag spikes, especially in lower end systems that this is basically designed for since you're already pushing resources to the max.
Dani we're with you pal and deeply appreciate your tireless efforts to deliver us the best as you can. Honestly I can't thank you enough. I consider you a friend whois honest, genuine and helpful. You're a blessing pal.
I can't believe you're a full time teacher and also pump out this many videos
He's honestly become my go to source when it comes to new GPU information.
Pumping vidoes rather than wife is not a good sign
Thank you for trying them with a controller as well. Controller players are a HUGE part of the gaming player base. I absolutely cannot stress how awesome it is to see someone testing the different inputs. This is something I RARELY if EVER see. Great job man!!!
Daniel. You cannot please everyone. Your meticulous and thorough investigation into computer parts is second to none. Keep doing you💯😎
This shit is wild, very interesting, and very curious on the future of this stuff!
I appreciate the time you took for doing this, the thing is I'm just going to use AMFM if FSR 3.0 is not present.
Glad you did testing with a controller and mouse. It makes a big difference to the perceived framerate. Completely different experience. Great vid. I chose to play cyberpunk with a controller because of this. Makes driving cars more fun too :P. I highly recommend using a controller if your using any form of framegen.
Perception is everything, and everybody perceives things differently, you are totally correct:) . I am super sensitive to latency but not sensitive to frame rate. I much rather have low latency at 75FPS than high latency at 150FPS.
Tested it a bit in Hogwarts with gamepad where I have 60-75 fps natively, apart from some stutters. It would only really kill the added frames if I started panning 360, and I didn't really notice artifacts. However, in a slow game like that with a gamepad, I don't even notice higher fps that much as long as it's above 60 so I'm not sure I will keep using it. But it's a neat feature, good to see AMD actually beat Nvidia on something for once.
Thank you for your honest review again, some people needs to understand that some times technology needs to improve and then being used by everyone. And we are close to that,be patient.
Daniel out here pumping out videos like no tomorrow.
Good vid. I seemed to have better results (visually and smooth gameplay) playing REvil4 remake with AFMF and Radeon Boost enabled also to smooth motion between fast frames. RX6700xt playing on 144hz 1080p monitor with vSync off and variable rate and not capped
Found this to be very solid fair evaluation of AFMF.
Love your stuff Daniel, thank you.
In terms of power consumption? A scenario like 120 true fps, vs 80 base output with afmf to 160. Assuming both feel ok and not any artifact problems, would afmf be able to offer some power savings and still deliver smooth and happy gameplay?
E.g. If power to produce 80 afmf frames uses much less power than generating an extra 40 true frames with a reasonable play experience
what happens to the screen with motion blur turned on? and what options are there in the AMD software that this is suggested to be paired with?
i have both 4090 and 7900, i just update the 7900xtx and turned on the AFMF and it´s actually insane i went from 88 to 250 fps (my monitor can actually use those frames) with no visual downgrades except some flickering that can be fixed, the fact that this works in every game without implementation it´s crazy
Wonder if you can turn off TAA since the blending is not fast as I would like. Looks great if you stand still but as soon as you start moving there is a delay in clarity. If you can??? I will have to try on a 7800xt
Thanks for the insights. Anyway, what software are you using to show the frametime and generated frames graph and latency? Thanks
same thing i noticed, same gpu and cpu as listed in your description, afmf is jittery and not as smooth but still very happy they released it, also very happy they made fsr3 open source for anyone to use in their game.
Idk works pretty good , what I did was turn on super resolution , went from 1440p to 1080p but it upscaled to 1440p , frame gen on and anti lag on , fsr 2.1 on cyberpunk , the latency went from 40 to 20 , I don’t use boost and it works really well and super smooth
I basically didn’t feel no latency
@@AzSureno You're re tard.ed if you think latency decreases when you use frame generation. Never talk about it again
it seems in certain games its better than others, like older games where its easier to run, but even so fast fps drops make it noticeable for me very easily, @@AzSureno
Honestly my thoughts on AFMF are similar to yours. I find the frame overlapping between the real and blurry generated frames to be quite distracting in games where you have to pan the camera, like third person games. I did a 120 fps recording and if you skip frame by frame in the editor you can see ihow it happens, where parts of the image misalign and overlap with some blurry spots and some not so blurry which leads to this stuttery mismatched motion consistency. It works OK in some games like Forza Motorsport where the camera is fixed. Otherwise I feel you need at least 100 fps for enough real frames to mask over the generated ones.
It's essentially a frame smoothing technology for very high refresh displays it's how I'd probably use it. But yeah if I am getting 60 fps in a game turning AFMF on makes the image fluidity worse in most games I've tried even though its doubling the framerate but I havent tried a ton of games and may look into it a bit more.
Yeah, the AFMF generated frames just aren't good enough to enable it below 90 fps imo.
I'd also say that the feature turning itself off during fast motion defeats the purpose of frame generation. The whole point is to reduce persistence blur during fast motion. If the camera is moving slowly, you can see everything clearly anyway.
I feel like the time spent on developing this technology could've been spent on something more useful.
@@THU31 My guess is that they probably do that because the faster the motion the lower quality generated frames you get because of missing game engine data therefore it probably doesnt look great. You can see this when moving the camera without triggering the feature disabling.
@@ManualSword depends heavily on the game tbh, as well as on the upscaler. For whatever reason using it with XeSS (at least in cyberpunk) completely breaks the image
It's great with a 240Hz monitor :P
Just wondering, what's the name of the overlay in the left upper corner that shows all the data?
i am more curious with intel 3rd method ...extrapolation is best in both worlds in software and ai cores can take advantage of
Daniel, loved your video. It was cool to see your take on this and I feel I can always trust you to approach these things with an open mind. With that said, I think it is worth pointing out that turning on Motion Blur in any games you test with AFMF will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce artifacting and general jank with the image. At least it has in my experience, and I have been using this tech since the October preview on my RX 6800 with a 165HZ 2560x1440p monitor. I used to never enable Motion Blur, but the AFMF really looks bad without it. The main games I have played and now keep the AFMF on for are: RDR2 (DX12 mode), Mafia 3, Guardians of the Galaxy with RT, GTA V, Cyberpunk, SW Jedi Fallen Order, and recently been testing it in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered as it is also locked to 60FPS. The experience in a game locked to 60 is very hit or miss for me, NFS isn't too bad, but some games give it a sort of 'screen door affect' from the AFMF at around 60FPS, I noticed that HEAVILY when you tested Elden Ring and that is the point where I turn AFMF off personally lol. I will say that the more real frames you have, the better the frame gen looks as you noted in your video, for me the sweet spot is around 80. If you can get roughly 80 and you have a 165HZ or higher monitor, it works fairly well. I have enabled Radeon Enhanced Sync at times when screen tearing happens, but it sometimes does make it worse, so I just turn it back off. Would be interesting to see if this works well with a Freesync monitor. I basically try AFMF in every singleplayer title I play now if the game doesn't hit my monitors refresh rate at the settings I use
My experience with CP2077 and AFMF was pretty great now that I tried it again today.
It did not look like crap and I can run 3440x1440p with my preferred settings with RT maxed out without Path Tracing. Pretty close to what you were running (FSR quality, every other RT feature on, Lighting on Psycho or High) and with a 3700X+7800XT, I get over 60 FPS consistently with AFMF.
Previously I was running at about 40, which was mostly fine, since my CP2077 gameplay is pretty slow-paced and mostly photography anyways. 40-50 is as low as I can tolerate. I've dropped a few settings to optimize the experience as per Digital Foundry's guide for stuff that is pretty much not perceivable, but give a slight boost to FPS. I prefer the game looking amazing vs. high framerates, I play it for the aesthetic.
if I'm running raytracing in cyberpunk I would just use nvidia lol.
Very informative video, always hard to understand what these technologies mean and what they do so these types of visualizations help.
What do you use for your screen overlay to show the fps and other stats?
Hey boss man have your tried it with light motion blur it seems to REALLY help, cheers

AFMF turning off when motion is too fast (and it doesn't seem to take much motion to trigger that) is a real dealbreaker. It completely defeats the purpose of motion smoothing. On the plus side, modders are implementing the much higher quality FSR 3 frame gen in many games. I've personally tested the DLSS->FSR FG mod for Cyberpunk and it works very well.
Agreed, but I've also heard people pairing this with HYPR-RX, and it's Dynamic Resolution feature, that only turns on and boosts framerate when huge amount of motion is in place.
@@technologicalelite8076 That's an interesting solution though I wonder how much it would actually help. I have not been impressed with that feature at all, as it also results in a wildly variable framerate, and also greatly degrades image quality in motion since it relies on basic bilinear upscaling last I checked.
@@nimbulan2020 Right, it's not a more aggresive upscaling, which would be more interesting. This is just gonna have to come down to more testing and user preference 😅
The higher the base fps, the less often AFMF will disable itself as each frame is more similar to the next because it lasts fewer milliseconds.
Also the flickering will be less distracting because each generated frame will be on screen for a shorter time. 75 base fps instead of 60 at 1440p in Cyberpunk is a huge improvement from my testing. At 120 fps base it basically only turns off if you shake the camera left to right at max speed for 180 degree turns.
It's great if you have a 240hz monitor or higher and just want to fill out the refresh rate in every game, even those without frame gen, especially older games.
On a similar note, the more pixels you have, the more often it will disable, which is why you only need 60 fps base at 1080p, but 70 at 1440p and probably more for ultrawides.
How does having more pixels affect how often it disables?
@@carlosmann100 More pixels = more possible differences to trigger it to turn off.
Disabling itself should be optional. I have no idea why AMD thought an incredibly unstable and variable framerate was a good idea.
This has been my experience as well. It's a real shame that the highest refresh rate Daniel Owen has is a 120 hrz monitor.
I feel like this is another example of AMD marketing ruining an interesting product. They obviously "recommend" at least 60 fps at 1080p and 72 fps at 1440p because there are tons of 120+ hrz 1080p displays and a lot of 144+ hrz 1440p displays and you don't want people to feel left out. I haven't done extensive testing at 1080p, but across 5 displays (1 1080p and 4 1440p), I felt that 90 fps was the ABSOLUTE lowest fps at which AFMF felt playable. The latency felt better and it only rarely kicked off. While I say locked to 90 fps WAS playable, I much preferred locked to 110-120 fps. It felt like I was playing 1440p high/ultra at 120 fps (because I was), but with the smoothness of 240 hrz. In addition, the few times I noticed AFMF kick off (when locked between 110 an 120) it was less jarring because I was still playing at over 100 fps. Even then it was only in maybe 2 or 3 of the 12 or so games I tried it in that I would actually consider using AFMF.
I previously had a 300 hrz 1080p display that I now regret selling, as I think it would be fascinating to test AFMF at higher frames. Especially because a lot of games built in older engines like GTA V and Apex legends benefit from capping your framerate so that you aren't bouncing off the engine's upper limit for fps and ruining your frametimes. Even if I wouldn't use AFMF in those games specifically, I think they would be interesting case studies.
@@jorge69696 It's designed to work in tandem with Radeon boost, but yeah i agree it's silly, just give us end user the ability to enable/disable it on fast motion instead having to turn on another unnecessary feature
I've tested this in MSFS2020 and I feel it works very well in that game. Of course I get stutters if I pan quickly, which I did before as well, but in general when flying it feels a lot smoother than without AFMF.
How did you make the amd overall look like that?
You are doing good work! I think on the other hand that gamers who have 7900xt or better are that keen on this tech, there's just too much headroom to disable some insignificant setting and get 80-90fps already. For me, i have 7800xt, and some games struggle to reach over 70 with settings that i would not like to lower anymore, this tech is suddenly more appealing. I really like fps being over 90, that's like the sweet spot for my eyes to relax. Or i could have my GPU half idling and taking less power and giving less heat by limiting fps and upping it again with afmf. Hoping fsr3 will come to more games soon.
Thanks for the upload! You should check out Lossless Scaling's frame generation. There was a new release that came out that altered the way the frame generation works, resulting in a pretty smooth experience. Might be fun to do a head-to-head with Lossless Scaling FG vs AFMF, battle of the non game engine FG methods!
Will lossless scaling work on a 1080ti?

I was waiting for him to use both fg and afmf together lmao. Idk but it’s fascinating to me that they can both work together
Would you test lsfg, losless scaling frame generation that works on any gpu and any game
Great informational review. But a short answer is that upscalling or frame generation should only be used if needed, and a base frame rate of 60 is best if any of the technologies are used. I only use them if I have to use them.
So does this make a diffrence f9r red vs green or do i still get a 4070ti super
I have a 160hz monitor and 7900xtx. I cap my FPS to 79fps so I have an output with AFMF of 158fps (only on games where I’m getting about 60 - 80 fps). So for example, in the Witcher 3, full raytracing, I like the way it feels. And I use a controller and turn down the sensitivity to .75 and if I do a full camera rotation, AFMF doesn’t disable. It’s very specific, but useful and I like it.
I feel like this would only be usable on legion go or rog ally
that's only for controllers probably, mouse can turn way faster.
Got great results a with vsync. Why do you have it off?
i have followed the ancient advices to lock the frames (sum of native frames + interpolated) under the screen refresh.. ohh good is really fluid as butter
Can you enable fluid motion frames on a per game basis, or is it on for all games when enabled?
You can set individual profiles for games. 👍
How are you getting so low in AFOP? I have a similar setup and i average about 120
I have a 5600x, 3060ti, 32gb of 3200 ram and I’m debating on upgrading the Gpu only for now. Leaning towards the 7900xt over 4070 super because of price drop to 700$. What are your thoughts?
Not about AFMF but I'm looking for a monitor and I'm not sure if I should get a 4k 32" /42" or an ultrawide.
If you had to choose which one would you keep? Which one do you use more?
If you're into racing and flight sims ultrawides are nice, but for everything else I found it annoying. I borrowed my brother's when I was between monitors and it still felt like a small display with the top and bottom chopped off, not to mention some games just don't like it, and how many games limit the action to only a horizontal plane? Watching video content like RUclips or movies is just straight up annoying because so few videos are in that format .
It was easy to see why he had it in the closet and went back to a large display. The advantage of a huge display is you still have that option to go ultrawide windowed, multiple windows>multi monitor for any type of desktop work, or just plain watch a movie on a large screen without black bars everywhere. I liked the UW in Forza, but for anything else it felt like a downgrade and not worth the price premium.
I've been thinking on upgrading soon, and I've been thinking between the recently released 4070 TI Super, and 7900 XT. Given there aren't that many games, that have good RT implementation, but given I'm a fan of Cyberpunk, AND am revisiting it, 4070 TI Super giving good performance at 1440 PT, while 7900 XT is a cheaper option with better raster performance, but I doubt that it would be a better option to get a bit better raster performance, given that the other card would be sufficient enough in that department. Could you give me some thoughts on that?
i have problem,i have newest version of drivers my horizon forbidden west is on exclusive fullscreen and vsync is off and software says that afmf is not compatibile woth game display mode,same this is for red dead 2 i have rx 6600 and ryzen 5 5500
I have tested afmf in Alan wake 2 with the preview drivers and the 24.1.1 and i have noticed an improvement in motion. In preview drivers I could notice the desync while Moving fast, now with the latest drivers I can barely notice. I'm playing With a rx6800 at 55-60 fps without Afmf , and 110/120 with afmf.
Can you also test lossless scaling frame generation? Thanks daniel
at 9.:02 I noticed you were using Borderless Fullscreen with AFMF, AFMF recommends to be used on Exclusive Fullscreen setting. Not sure if that matters a lot but AMD recommends it.
What happens if you enable frame gen in a game and in the driver?

I wonder whether this might be more useful to someone with a super high refresh monitor - so they get to 150fps in normal ways using their XTX, and then turn on frame generation to hit 300fps? That way they would have a lot more real frames to help keep the image stable.
I have an 7900XTX/5800x3D, 34"QDOLED. I tested the preview driver with a 6800XT back then and i turned it of vwry soon. Now it is much better with the latency but it realy depends on Base Framerate. You can feel it even with 70FPS+ BaseFPS but you just increase Mouse sensetiviti too and boom. Its fine now.
Daniel is never wrong..
I'd love for you to test FSR 3 in Modern Warfare 3, they just added it in the last update and I don't really know how I feel about the generated frames
What overlay are you using to get temps, fps etc? My Adrenaline overlay still isn't displaying CPU temps; it hasn't for months now.
What cpu you have? I believe adrenalin gives more stats on AMD CPUs only.

I had 1 issue. My steamvr does not work with my Vive pro 2 after driver update.
It would be interesting to test it without knowing whether or not AFMF was on. If you were unaware of whether or not you were currently testing with it on or off it then it might give a better idea of what it feels like to play with since you might be expecting to feel latency with it on so you perceive a higher latency
Seeing random drops from 120 to sub-60fps is going to be _very_ noticeable no matter who you are or what you think is enabled. Maybe if you had a 120 baseline boosting to 200 I'd believe you might not notice it and chalk it up to a placebo effect, but everyone can tell the difference in 60-120 in both looks and feel.
There was definietly tearing on Elden Ring i actually noticed before you said it :D It's cool tech but it was expected results.
It is a good thing PC gamers can start to add FSR3 to games as they see fit with the FSR3 Frame Generation MOD. So when Nvidia supported game developers refuse to add FSR3 we just do it ourselves.
Please try AFMF with boost enabled. Boost increases performance during mouse movement, so maybe it balances out the cons of AFMF
Boost increases your performance by degrading the image. If AFMF already has issues with a still image, a moving image that is rendered at a lower resolution is going to look like Vaseline.
Useful and Interesting...
Have you considered the effect of high fov due to using a widescreen format on afmf?
You can see , especially in a plague tale, that the side of the image warps more because it's moving relatively faster when you rotate the camera.
I expect the majority of people ( using 16:9 ) will have a better experience with afmf
I like afmf, but only really in single player experiences. The screen tearing is an issue, but I can overlook it in the use case I've run it in because most of the gameplay is not high speed or fast paced. Also, I've noticed capping the in game frame rate to slightly below half the monitor refresh rate with afmf on produced the best result.
AFMF is supposed to only working on exclusive fullscreen, Also you can activate/Desactivate it in-game with ALT+SHIFT+G
I love it. I love that it works on such a game as, Star Citizen!
It works great for me on SC with my RX6600, i have fewer stutters and the game feels smoother.
@@dazlian3432 I'm using a 7900xt but my cpu is a 3950x and my ram kit is 3600 64gb. But I can only get stable ram at 3466mhz.
If I go up to factory 3600 I get stutters on audio and the pc crashes...
hi,may i know what that monitor is?
You have good eyes man, I’m getting older and I have a hard time seeing differences in graphics
Hey Daniel, isnt lossless scale FG better implementation than AFMF. And it works with all GPUs and doesnt turn off on fast movement.
I'd like the ability to keep it on all the time, even if there is alot of motion on the screen. I can't say for sure I'd use it that way, but would like to choose for mhself
the jitters you see in plague tale requiem is the reason why I don't play with HDR enable. When enable, HDR tends to make everything too bright, jittery or too dark sometimes. Maybe it's just my personnal experience.
Hey Daniel ! If you want a category of games where afmf is a no brainer, you should try some sim racing games, such as ACC, BeamNG or F1 23 (even dirt rally 2.0, got the game at over 250fps with afmf and it looks nice)
My god, Daniel, I'm so sorry Nvidia and AMD are cramming all those releases into such a narrow window but please make sure you're getting enough sleep.
Amazing work and very informative.
"Trust me bro..." Daniel we do trust you brother. Keep being a legend in the RUclips space!
I Have a 7900XT and a LG 4K 120HZ TV. Is AFMF useless because I have to set above 60FPS , but then i am above my max FPS of my TV?
Upscaling though transparent hud elements would look worse in the FSR3 implementation than in the AFMF one. With AFMF the motion frames are generated based on what the resulting image actually looks like, meaning hud elements that are static will also end up looking mostly static in the motion vectors with AFMF. FSR3 however would instead get the motion vectors of the background, and apply those transformations to the HUD which would completely garble it
Are the frames generated by AMD’s FSR3 real frames?🤔. I tested it in a BR game and fps jumped from 200 to 330fps and I could not tell that there was an improvement at all to the frame rate other than the frame counter. Using a 240hz monitor.
Had a little play around with the settings earlier and tried in a couple of titles and RDR2 and got a massive uplift in frame rate im using a 7800XT and will be testing it out in other titles over the next few days
Number go = better? Not always. Not in this video.
Makes you wonder if there was some confusion between FSR3 and AFMF for those commenters you mentioned? Dunno I haven't turned it on yet, just like to have real frames I guess
Real frames are better unless you’re used to high fps, and then trying to play at 60-70. Like with RT.
While not perfect, I get way better RT experience with AFMF so I kinda like it.
On MC bedrock RTX I get around 50 fps with my rx6800xt but using AFMF I'm definitely getting a smoother experience
Yh bro...but I do understand that it is objective to each gamer, however I definitely believe people wasn't giving it a fair chance because AMDs name is attached to it. Afmf plays really well in some games, it definitely shocked me at how good the latency felt also how the image quality was. I do get a little screen tearing but that's only when I was panning the camera around slowly to see it, but playing the game without a FPS counter and just normally, I really couldn't see the downsides that most people were claiming.
@@tristngrHave you modded in FSR 2? It’s a pain to get working, because Bedrock is installed in a folder you can’t access, but it was game-changing for me. Upscaling was greyed out for me so it was just native and rly slow by default, so the hassle is worth it
@@bearpuns5910 I didn’t even know it was possible but yeah I’ll definitely look into it, thanks!
@@DwaynedaGamer Just get an nvidia card
I have been using it in jedi survivor at 4k Epic settings with max RT and getting a smooth 120 fps like experience with hardly noticeable drops during fast movement. It's on my channel. I could not run jedi survivor like that before and it kinda fixes the issues the game had for me. I love it.
I love it. While 35 frame image with AFMF don't really look like 70fps is sure looks a lot smoother. The artifacts does make high speed objects look a tad bit less clear tho. But I'm talking 35 fps base with AFMF. 60fps or above you probably can't tell.
My experiences were basically the same as your early access review. It turns off during motion where it's most needed if the base frame rate was lower. With high frame rate it feels ok though, but not really needed at that point.
If you're using AFMF you need to have Radeon Boost on as well to help with the fast motion stutter and tearing.
Those Micro stutters are very noticeable with AFMF. Using DLSS 3 and FSR 3 are dramatically better than the driver level implementation.
From what I understand, you should use Radeon Boost for camera panning and the like to help with the facst motion issues.
It's not helping at all. I tested it and FMF disables itself the same in mid to fast movement.
IT SEEMS TO WORK ONLY IF YOU ARE INSIDE monitors freesync range !! So for example for 120hz freesync panel you would have to limit framerate to 59 in for example rivatuner and then enable it to double framerate to 118 . In that case it only seems to work correctly for me . If I let it go over that 120hz it feels worse than without it . 144hz monitor limit to 71 etc .. that being said it breaks up bit too easily but still seems to be pretty nice feature but only with controller imo
I think if you have a really high refresh rate monitor like 240 it will be worth using. But i have a lg c2 so I can only get 120fps so I need to lock my fps to 58fps and then use afmf to get my frames below 120fps. If afmf gets above your displays refresh rate you will get stutter. So targeting 120fps using afmf is not ideal you have to run at a lower fps therefore more lag and more artifacts. Fabio put out a video today and tested it with a 1440p 160hz ultrawide, It seems good there because he locks his fps to 78 fps. giving him more real frames for better latency and less artifacts.
I think the frame generation gimmick works decently for midrange users in a very specific scenario, I was running Alan Wake 2 at 50~55fps, then I used the FSR3/frame generation mod, I was able to reach +- 85fps, so I turned v-sync on, locked at 60fps on a 60hz TV, it's working fine thus far imo didn't noticed input delay, artifacts, etc.. there was some "ghosting", but I got rid of it after turning off those stupid "filters" that simulates a movie picture (grain, lens distortion, etc). So, for high end users with 120hz monitors and beyond, they can follow your tip, for midrange users, I guess this tech will work decently in these scenarios, let's say Horizon 2 running at 50fps, turn on frame generation and v-sync, lock at 60fps, the GPU will work at 80% or so, saving energy, etc.. it's a win-win scenario in my pov, but it has to be implemented "professionally", not something the end user has to figure it out, using mods, messing around with the driver, etc.. nope, the game should have FSR3 and frame generation implemented by the devs, it's the bare minimum really. We can mess around with "older" games like Cyberpunk and so on, but the current games should have this option by default
@@RRRRRRRRR33 FSR3 is better I used afmf for ark survival ascended and after using afmf. The grass appears like it has a afterimage affect because theres too much detail for the afmf to reproduce correctly, I think daniel was seeing this for plague tale. I imagine older games afmf would better because theres less complexity in graphics.
If your monitor displays 120 frames per second.
The game generates 58*2= 116 frames.
What do you think the monitor displays instead of the missing 4 frames?
Clue:
When the monitor has finished outputting a frame and a new frame is not yet ready. All the video card can offer is to display the previous one.
(of course, if you don’t have FreeSync, if you have it, the technology will work well, but it will be smooth without it thanks to FreeSync).
What do you think will happen if the frame is 2ms late?
The monitor needs to output a frame, but it doesn’t, it starts outputting the previous frame. And after 2ms a late frame arrives.
So the game will start making a new frame, if it manages to make it by the time the monitor asks for a new frame, then the late frame will be thrown out, and if it doesn’t have time, then the late one will be thrown out, but by that time a lot of time will have passed in the game :)) )
Yes, the limit of 58 will really save you from tearing, but at the expense of the fact that there will always be late and discarded frames. Which will lead to an increase in input lag. It will be even worse than playing with VSYNC.
Plus one more question.
To make an intermediate frame you need 2 frames.
The first frame is the one that was shown.
Where can I get the second one?
It's simple.
You see the game one frame later :)))
There is always the last (current) frame that will not be shown to you.
@@12coco100 Depending on the "old" game, maybe is not even worthy to give it a shot. I am thinking about replaying Horizon 1, at my current setup I can run it at 1440p, max settings, locked at 60fps, etc.. so really, frame generation would be overkill in scenarios such as these (unless you go overboard just for the laughs, like 4k resolution, "extreme" settings and so on). I don't think this tech will perform miracles, like AMD users running ray tracing at 25fps, suddenly it catapults to 60fps, etc.. (unless AMD can replicate that "ray reconstruction" gimmick from Nvidia, who knows). But in specific scenarios were the game is already running well, 50fps and so on, you can force the FSR3 + frame generation to make it smoother. Now to reach 120fps, damn... it's overkill on your finances, lol it's already expensive to buy a monitor with that kind of frame rate (for TV users like myself, the prices are even more absurd), then your hardware has to be strong enough to go over 60fps already, only then you use the frame generation gimmick to simulate some "fake" frames... idk, seems too much of a hassle, unless the 120fps is really extraordinary (some people say that, others are not impressed, etc)
Just reach 120fps and use BFI if you have a C2
