On October 4th, according to Kaiji, AMD has recently introduced a new feature called “Fast Motion Response” to AFMF 2.1, aimed at further enhancing the visual experience for gamers in fast-paced scenarios. This feature is not included in the regular AMD drivers but is accessible by installing the PyTorch on Windows 25.120.01.14 preview version. This particular build is exclusively compatible with RX 7000 and RX 9000 series graphics cards.
Currently, the standard AMD Software Adrenalin Edition version 25.9.2 offers two AFMF options: “Search Mode” and “Performance Mode.” However, upon installing the PyTorch Edition 25.20.01.14, users gain access to the newly added “Fast Motion Response” feature within AFMF 2.1. This feature further breaks down into two sub-options: “Repeat Frame” and “Blended Frame,” each designed to improve the gaming experience through distinct methods.
The description that appears when hovering over “Fast Motion Response” states: “Configure AFMF’s response to fast motion, with the option to use ‘Repeat Frame’ to maintain image quality or ‘Blended Frame’ for smoother motion.”
The “Repeat Frame” option achieves its goal by repeating the last frame instead of generating a blurry frame or one that might exhibit artifacts. This approach effectively eliminates motion artifacts such as ghosting or trailing, thereby preserving visual quality. In contrast, “Blended Frame” approximates missing motion by blending two frames, aiming for a more fluid visual experience. While this can introduce some blur in extremely rapid action sequences, it generally provides a more coherent visual presentation.
AFMF’s original “Search Mode” function would disable frame generation when motion became excessively fast. The introduction of “Fast Motion Response” appears to be a direct effort to address this limitation, offering more nuanced control over how the technology handles rapid visual changes in games.
