AMD's AFMF 2 Nearly Doubles FPS on Radeon 890M, Breathing New Life into Gaming
Gamers rejoice! AMD's Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) technology is here, and it's bringing a massive performance boost to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370's Radeon 890M integrated graphics. Early tests by YouTuber ETA Prime show nearly double the frame rates in popular titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Elden Ring.
Here's the breakdown:
- AFMF 2, now available for the Strix Point lineup, leverages AMD's new Variable Graphics Memory (VGM) technology to dynamically allocate resources and boost performance.
- Testing on an Asus ProArt P16 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Radeon 890M revealed impressive gains:
- Forza Horizon 5 (1200p, Medium): 86 FPS without AFMF 2, 136 FPS with AFMF 2
- Elden Ring (1080p, Medium): 45 FPS without AFMF 2, 85 FPS with AFMF 2
- Fallout 4 (1600p, Ultra): 54 FPS without AFMF 2, 84 FPS with AFMF 2
- All tests were conducted at a 45W TDP, suggesting even higher performance is possible with increased power limits.
What's even better? AFMF 2 is also compatible with last-gen RDNA 3 iGPUs like the Radeon 780M found in devices like the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, potentially giving them a new lease on life for modern gaming.
AMD's AFMF 2 technology is shaping up to be a game-changer, unlocking impressive performance on integrated graphics and making smooth, high-framerate gaming more accessible than ever.
