On September 12, AMD unveiled a preview driver update for its Ryzen AI HX 300 series mobile processors, adding support for Radeon 800M integrated graphics with AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) and Variable Graphics Memory (VGM) technologies. This update promises significant improvements in gaming performance, with the latest benchmarks showing up to a 78% boost in frame rates for titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
AFMF 2, AMD’s frame generation technology, enhances game fluidity and responsiveness by increasing frames per second (FPS). The second generation of AFMF, released in July 2024, offers reduced latency and smoother gameplay, supporting a wider range of games.
VGM dynamically allocates up to 75% of system memory to the integrated GPU (iGPU) based on the demands of 3D applications, ensuring that gaming performance remains unaffected by excessive memory use.
Benchmark results from third-party tests show that enabling both AFMF 2 and VGM results in average frame rate improvements of 30-50% in AAA titles like Far Cry 6, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, F1 23, and Horizon Zero Dawn. These features are manageable through the performance tuning options in AMD's software.
