I tested AMD's new AFMF 2 tech in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 — extra FPS with "Performance" mode on ASUS ROG Ally

AMD recently updated its graphics drivers for compatible devices, including PC gaming handhelds like the Windows-based ASUS ROG Ally, with a generational improvement on its 'Fluid Motion Frames' (AFMF) technology. Increased framerates are the main benefits of using a ROG Ally with AFMF 2, though the feature expands beyond the mobile-centric Z1 Extreme APU to desktop graphics cards like the mid-range Radeon RX 7600 XT and modern laptops using AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip.

AFMF 2 is a driver-level process that applies 'in-between' frames to any game running on supported hardware, regardless of its developer inclusion of AMD's in-game FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) image upscaling method. It's similar to the 'motion smoothing' effect that you disable on your parents' television over the holidays because it makes everything look like a soap opera. However, the effect is far more pleasing for PC gamers and can push from a low 40 FPS count to a steady 60 FPS and beyond.
