According to AMD, AFMF 2 uses AI algorithms, which elevate image quality while reducing latency and improving performance. These upgrades have been well-received by a select group of gamers, based on a poll that AMD said it conducted. "We polled gamers and AFMF received an average rating of 9.3/10 for image quality and smoothness," the company stated in its announcement.

"All this adds up to a significant improvement over AFMF 1," AMD said, "and because we couldn’t wait to get this upgrade into gamer’s hands, we are releasing it as a technical preview so your feedback can help make AFMF 2 even better."

The most notable improvement with AFMF 2 is the reduction in latency. In AMD's testing, AFMF 2 delivered up to 28% lower latency on average compared to its predecessor. For instance, in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution set to ultra and powered by an RX 7900 XTX, AMD recorded significant latency reduction. The company even encouraged players to check out the improvements in latency in the game, where AFMF 2 can "deliver on average 28% lower latency at 4K using the Ray Tracing: Ultra graphics preset when compared to AFMF 1."

AMD said it also expanded the compatibility and functionality of AFMF 2. The frame generation tech now supports borderless fullscreen modes when used with AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series graphics cards. Additionally, AFMF 2 works with games that use Vulkan and OpenGL, which can further enhance animation smoothness. Moreover, AMD enabled interoperability with AMD Radeon Chill, a feature that allows users to define a driver-controlled FPS cap.
