AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.9.1 for Windows now supports Frostpunk 2, God of War Ragnarök, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and The Sims 4 DirectX 11 Update. The version contains AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2, a significant development in frame generating technology for AMD HYPR-RX. AFMF 2 improves fast-paced gaming by lowering frame generation delay and increasing performance scaling with additional modes. It also includes quicker motion optimization, better borderless fullscreen support, increased API compatibility, Radeon Chill interoperability, optimized AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series support, and Geometric Downscaling for Video.
The driver update also provides AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 Vulkan Support for Counter-Strike 2, expanded AMD Radeon Boost Support for Final Fantasy XVI, expanded HYPR-Tune Support, and mesh nodes in Work Graphs using Microsoft Agility SDK 1.715.0 Preview. Issues resolved include 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, and intermittent in-game corruption while playing Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT with AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Record & Streaming and HDR enabled.

What to Know?
AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2
AFMF is a state-of-the-art frame generation technology exclusive to AMD. It enhances frame rates and gameplay smoothness and is integrated into AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition
- How to Enable AFMF 2
- AFMF 2 can be enabled for any OpenGLNEW, VulkanNEW, DirectX
- AFMF 2 is supported on AMD Radeon
- AFMF 2 currently requires the game to be played in exclusive or borderless fullscreen mode with VSync disabled.
- For a better visual experience, use AFMF 2 with a variable refresh rate-enabled display.
- Enabling Radeon
- Use the in-game overlay (ALT+R) in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition
- AFMF 2 adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside the game’s engine. Users can enable the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay to see the resulting FPS.
- Users looking for a way to measure the response time of games can make use of our Frame Latency Meter (FLM).
- How to Optimize AFMF 2
- AFMF 2 introduces new modes that are automatically tuned for the best experience based on your configuration. These can be manually adjusted to your preferences if needed
- AFMF 2 adds a new “High” Search Mode setting for improved frame consistency during fast motion, enabled by default for resolutions of 2560x1440 and above.
- This reduces the jittering or stuttering encountered with AFMF 1 at higher resolutions.
- AFMF 2 adds a new Performance Mode setting to reduce frame-generation overhead, enabled as “Performance” by default for integrated graphics products.
- Integrated graphics users may switch back to the “Quality” performance preset for better frame-generation quality during fast motion. The “Quality” preset is the default when using discrete graphics cards.
- Users can manually enable this “Performance” mode on discrete graphics cards to hit even higher frame rates when GPU bound to maximize the FPS uplift.
- Users can find these tuning options within the “Advanced View” of HYPR-RX.
- AFMF 2 Support for Multi-GPU Configurations
- For any hybrid-graphics configuration, AFMF 2 will use the displaying GPU for frame generation, allowing the render GPU to focus on the game.
Known Issues
- Intermittent performance when entering certain areas while playing DayZ. [Resolution targeted for 24.10.1]
- Intermittent driver timeout or crash may be observed while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the AMD Ryzen
Important Notes
- AMD is collaborating with the developers of Frostpunk 2 to resolve an intermittent issue causing in game flicker while using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Record and Stream.
- AMD is collaborating with the developers of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 to resolve an intermittent issue causing black flickering around certain water areas
