AMD VGM (Variable Graphics Memory) Will Let You Run Games With Higher VRAM Requirements on iGPUs, AFMF 2 (Fluid Motion Frames) For Boosted FPS

AMD's Ryzen AI 300 APUs launched in July and have slowly been entering the retail markets from various OEM partners. These new APUs are equipped with the latest RDNA 3.5 architecture which offers a good uplift in performance over the RDNA 3 SKUs. Since its launch, the Ryzen AI 300 APUs got two driver releases, the 24.7.1 which is also considered the launch driver, and the most recent one, the 24.8.1, which introduced new game support, Anti-Lag 2 and HYPR-Tune & a range of AI enhancements.

Today, AMD is releasing a new Software: Adrenalin preview driver with support for Ryzen AI 300 APUs, and that comes as a technical preview package. With this new technical preview driver, the Ryzen AI 300 APUs will be able to leverage two technologies, the first of which is AFMF 2 of Fluid Motion Frames 2.

AMD introduced Fluid Motion Frames 2 at the end of July which is geared at RDNA 2, RDNA 3, and RDNA 3.5 dGPUs and iGPUs. The feature is part of the HYPR-RX feature suite which is now entirely available on Ryzen AI 300 devices and users can now enable it through the gaming tab in the AMD Adrenalin application. Turning on Fluid Motion Frames 2 will also enable Anti-Lag, ensuring lag-free and smooth gameplay. The option to enable Radeon Super Resolution is also available to the Ryzen AI 300 audiences.

In one example, AMD shows Cyberpunk 2077 running at up to 100 FPS by enabling AFMF 2 (Fluid Motion Frames 2) at 1080p and using a Balanced FSR preset. That's a 78% FPS gain compared to non-AFMF 2.

The other big feature coming to AMD Ryzen AI 300 APUs is support for VGM or Variable Graphics Memory. This
