What is AMD Fluid Motion Frames?

Rog Ally AFMF

Those familiar with Nvidia cards will have recognized it as a “simple” frame generation technology designed to increase frame rate and motion fluidity. In fact, it’s the same operating principle as Frame Generation on Nvidia’s DLSS 3. This technology can be used with all products based on RDNA 2 architecture or later, as well as APUs based on the 700M Series. The Rog Ally SoC is therefore eligible now. In early January 2024, AMD announced the imminent arrival of this technology, aimed at significantly improving the number of frames per second in games.
