What to Know
- AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF)
- AFMF can be enabled for anyDirectX® 11 and 12 title using HYPR-RX.
- AFMF is recommended to be combined with AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag to reduce in-game latency while maintaining a minimum in-game fps of 60.
- AFMF, must be manually enabled in the per-game settings for certain fast-paced competitive titles, even if AFMF was already enabled globally. Gamers are free to enable AFMF in these titles based on their preference and gameplay style.
- AFMF may be enabled or disabled on the fly using the default hotkey of Alt-Shift-G.
- AFMF currently requires the game to be played in fullscreen mode with VSYNC disabled.
- For better compatibility with borderless-fullscreen titles, Windows 11 users can enable "Optimizations for windowed games".
- For a better visual experience, AFMF is recommended to be used with variable refresh rate enabled.
- Users can check AFMF’s frame generation status using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™’s in-game overlay.
- AFMF adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside the game’s engine. Users can use AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay to see the resulting FPS.
- Support for third-party performance monitoring tools is not available at this moment.
- For systems setup using Hybrid Graphics (such as laptops featuring an integrated and discrete GPU), AFMF must be supported on the displaying GPU to be activated.
- Stay tuned for future enhancements and innovations coming to HYPR-RX with AFMF, focusing on elevating image quality, smoothness, and latency. Enjoy gaming with HYPR-RX.
- AMD Video Upscaling
- AMD Video Upscaling can be enabled for most DirectX 11 applications to improve image quality. AMD Video Upscaling is currently only supported on single display configurations.
- Certain applications such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge may require an additional step to activate AMD Video Upscaling.
- For Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, 'Media Foundation for Clear' must be enabled. This setting can be configured in the browser settings accessed through chrome://flags/ or edge://flags/.
- Users have the flexibility to adjust the level of sharpness added by AMD Video Upscaling using the slider located within the Graphics tab.
- AMD Technical Preview Driver
- Users had the opportunity to get an early look of AFMF through the AMD Technical Preview Drivers and provide their feedback to build and refine the feature. The feedback received through our online communities and AMD Bug Report Tool helped create a more stable experience for AFMF in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.1.1.
- Users looking for updates of future AMD Technical Preview Drivers can subscribe to our newsletter HERE.

Important Notes
- For users that game remotely with AMD Link, one important announcement is that AMD is ending support for the AMD Link software. We originally launched AMD Link at a time when there were few alternative remote gaming solutions for Radeon graphics users. Today, there are many options available for users to stream their PC content to other devices. AMD’s role is to enable and support developers, not compete with them. As such, we are ending support for AMD Link and focusing our resources on other core capabilities and features that benefit users. We will also continue to support developers with our SDKs such as the AMD Advanced Media Framework that allow them to enable streaming functionality within their solutions.
- For users who previously installed an AMD Software preview driver, running AMD Cleanup Utility is recommended before installing this driver.
- AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.1.1 will now automatically clear previously installed drivers located in the C:\AMD folder to save space.
