AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ Technical Preview Driver for AMD Fluid Motion Frames 23.30.01.02 (Insider-Beta) released September 29, 2023, re-released October 4, 2023
Driver Version for Windows® 10 and Windows® 11: 23.30.01.02
Windows Driver Store Version: 31.0.23001.200710
Product Compatibility

Important Notes:

• This preview driver is intended to provide users an early first-look into upcoming features within AMD Software; feedback is encouraged and can be submitted through the AMD Bug Report Tool . If issues arise or persist during the usage of the Preview Driver, please use the AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool to revert the latest recommended AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition driver.

New Feature Highlights:

• AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) Technical Preview – Boost FPS with frame generation technology for a smoother gaming experience.
  • AFMF adds frame generation technology to DirectX® 11 and 12 games on AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 (and now 6000!) Series Desktop Graphics Cards. 
  • We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.
  • AFMF preserves image quality by dynamically disabling frame generation during fast motion.

What to know

• AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF)
  • AFMF may be enabled for any DirectX® 11 and 12 title such as Cyberpunk 2077 using the per-app settings within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™.
  • AFMF can be automatically enabled using HYPR-RX or using the Global Graphics Settings toggle for these select titles;

• AFMF can introduce additional latency in games and is recommended to be combined with AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag/Anti-Lag+ for the optimal experience. 
  • As AFMF may introduce additional latency in games, AFMF may not offer the optimal experience in fast-paced competitive titles. 
• The AFMF technical preview currently requires the game to be played in fullscreen mode with HDR disabled and VSYNC disabled. 
  • For the optimal experience, AFMF is recommended to be used on AMD FreeSync™ displays. 
  • Users are recommended to disable HDR in Windows Display Settings, or disable HDR in the game (as well as Auto-HDR). 
• AFMF features an activity monitor similar to AMD Radeon Super Resolution to confirm the frame generation status using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™’s in-game overlay (use the default hotkey of Alt-R for the fullscreen overlay, or Alt-Z for the sidebar overlay)
• AFMF is recommended to be enabled for games running at a minimum fps of 55 FPS for 1080p displays, and 70 FPS for 1440p or above displays. 
• AFMF adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside of the game’s engine. To see the resulting FPS, use the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay. Support for third-party performance monitoring tools is not available at this moment.

Whats' Next

• We are currently working on improving the overall smoothness and image quality of AFMF.

Fixed Issues

• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ may fail to install on some systems. 
• AFMF status indicator may suggest disabling HDR when it is already disabled. 
• A BSOD may be experienced during installation on certain systems (as reported by the community)

Known Issues:

• Intermittent driver crashes have been observed while AFMF is enabled and the game's resolution is changed or a task switch happens (such as alt-tab between different windows).
• Brief corruption may be observed when switching between windows with AFMF enabled on some 144Hz or greater monitors. 
• Brief stutter may be experienced after closing the Xbox Game Bar. 
• FreeSync™ displays may report an erratic FPS when AFMF is enabled. 
• Some metrics such as frame time may show inconsistent results when AFMF is enabled. 
• The performance metrics overlay may intermittently fail to appear (as reported by the community)

Note: Users are highly suggested to do a driver cleanup before upgrading to this technical preview driver
Important Notes:

• None

Notes: AMD has received reports of some games triggering anti-cheat bans on gamers when AMD Anti-Lag+ technology is enabled on Radeon graphics. To address this, we have released the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.10.2 driver that disables Anti-Lag+ technology in all supported games, and we recommend gamers use the new driver. AMD is actively working with game developers on a solution to re-enable Anti-Lag+ and support them in reinstating gamers who were impacted by the anti-cheat bans. We will provide more information when available.
