An AMD graphics driver preview accidentally leaked a planned feature: AMD is working on a new option for AMD AFMF 3 called “Fast Motion Response.” This allows the output behavior to be adjusted during fast movements.
By the end of the year, AMD finally wants to release the latest version of Fidelity FX Super Resolution – FSR 4 Redstone. This should offer a significantly better quality with the help of a new AI model. At the same time, the driver-supported frame generation offered by AMD is also likely to be improved once again – as part of Fluid Motion Frames 3 (FMF 3). The company has recently leaked one of the features apparently planned for this itself – namely with a preview driver.
New option for AMD AFMF 3
The Pytorch preview driver 25.120.01.14, released on September 24th, contains a new feature called Fast Motion Response in the corresponding settings panel. This allows players to choose whether the intermediate image generation should be disabled during fast movements (repeat frame), or whether the graphics card should output an intermediate image even then – despite the low information density (blended frame).
Repeat Frame prioritizes the image quality, but can lead to visible stutters. Blended frame, on the other hand, should run more smoothly, but may have to deal with artifacts and streaks. This gives players a new option to adapt the way AMD’s FMF works to their own taste.
Although the upcoming version FMF 3 is not explicitly mentioned in the driver, instead there is still talk of FMF 2.1. At the same time, the release of Fast Motion Response was apparently an oversight. Because it is not mentioned in the changelog. So presumably the feature is really only planned for the next big release, which should take place in the coming months. The first detailed technical analyses will show how much AMD’s new FSR in combination with the improved frame generation can then increase in quality and flexibility.
