AMD has expanded AFMF 2.1 (Fluid Motion Frames) with a Fast Motion Response option designed to improve generated frames in fast-moving scenes. The feature isn’t yet present in the standard AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, but it appears after installing PyTorch on Windows Preview 25.20.01.14 for Radeon RX 7000 and RX 9000 GPUs.
In a default Adrenalin 25.9.2 installation, AFMF offers two modes: Search Mode and Performance Mode. After adding the PyTorch Preview, a Fast Motion Response switch appears with two settings: Repeat Frame and Blended Frame. Repeat Frame reuses the previous frame to preserve image quality, while Blended Frame mixes frames to produce smoother motion.
In practice, Repeat Frame reduces artifacts from aggressive interpolation (smearing and ghosting), whereas Blended Frame visually smooths animation, though it may introduce slight blur in extremely rapid scenes. This differs from earlier modes that simply halted frame generation during abrupt movement—sacrificing smoothness for stability. Fast Motion Response addresses that compromise.
AMD has not disclosed detailed information in the official Preview notes, but the goal is clear: to enhance AFMF performance in high-motion scenarios. For now it’s an enthusiast-focused option, but it could become a useful tool for players whose games often drop frames during sudden camera movements.
