AMD Driver Leaks Fluid Motion Frames 3 Ahead of Official Announcement

Just last week, AMD announced that it has enabled PyTorch on Radeon RX 7000 and 9000 GPUs, allowing users to more easily run local LLMs on Windows. Now, however, it seems as though AMD may also introduce AFMF 3 (AMD Fluid Motion Frames 3) in an upcoming driver update. According to recent posts on the Guru3D forums by The Creator and ecffg2010, there is mention of AFMF 3 in the same 25.20.1 Windows Preview testing version of the AMD graphics driver. There is, at the time of writing, no mention of AFMF 3 on the official beta driver update notes or in the AMD Software GUI, but exporting the game profiles with the AMD GPU Profile Manager revealed the inclusion of the new frame generation version.

AMD first introduced AFMF 2 in July 2024, with version 2.1 launching in March 2025, so it is somewhat expected that AMD will soon launch AFMF 3, but it’s unclear when the option will be exposed to the end user. So far, AFMF 2.1 has been available for AMD GPUs going all the way back to the Radeon RX 6000 series. PyTorch support, however, is currently only available for RX 7000 and 9000 series GPUs, so it remains to be seen if AMD will abandon the RX 6000 GPUs when it comes to AFMF 3. There is speculation that the driver will drop support for the RX 7000 series altogether, but several users on the forum note that they have installed the driver on their 7000 series GPUs without issue.
