Honestly, it was only a matter of time. AMD has added options for Multi Frame Generation, or MFG 8x mode, in the latest Radeon drivers without much fanfare, along with a few more FSR tweaks. The features are not publicly highlighted in the Adrenalin software, but were discovered through the RadeonTuner tool.
AMD has been preparing FSR Multi Frame Generation support for Radeon graphics cards for some time. A previous FSR Redstone update brought early support in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK package, but MFG is not yet officially available for users of Radeon GPU models.
The new revelations come from the Chiphell forum, where a user through RadeonTuner checked the options available in Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers. The tool was used with FSR 4.1.1 Override library version 2.3.0.2740 and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card.
AMD Radeon drivers detect FSR Multi Frame Generation 8x
In the Graphics section, more precisely in the FSR panel, options that were not available before appeared. Among them are FSR Multi Frame Generation Ratio up to 8x, FSR Multi Frame Generation Override, FSR Ray Regeneration Denoiser Override and FSR Neural Radiance Caching Override.
ChiphellThe most interesting detail is precisely the MFG 8x. If this option is indeed activated in future drivers, AMD could generate seven additional frames for every frame originally rendered. That would be more than NVIDIA DLSS MFG 6x mode, which generates five extra frames per actual frame.
Such an approach can significantly increase FPS and make the display more fluid, but at the same time it raises the issue of latency and proper frame distribution. The higher the number of generated frames, the more important it is that the system maintains good frame pacing and as low an input lag as possible.
AMD currently offers standard frame generation, where one generated frame is added to each real frame. NVIDIA has expanded its MFG gradually, from 2x and 4x modes to the current 6x level, while Intel already offers 4x MFG. With the 8x mode, AMD could leapfrog the competition in terms of the number of generated frames, but the quality of the implementation will be crucial.
In addition to MFG options, RadeonTuner also displays FSR Ray Regeneration and FSR Neural Radiance Caching Override settings. If AMD makes it possible to manually turn on these features in a wider variety of games, it could be very important for Radeon users.
Such an approach would resemble the NVIDIA override options for upscaling and frame generation, which can improve the experience even in games that do not have full official support. AMD already has a similar philosophy through Anti-Lag, Radeon Upscaling and Fluid Motion Frames options in Adrenalin software.
Among the games mentioned with Neural Radiance and Ray Regeneration technologies are Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Crimson Desert, Mafia: The Old Country and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The list is not yet as large as the competition, but override options could expand the use of these technologies. For now, everything should be seen as a sign that AMD is seriously preparing the next step of FSR technology. MFG 8x in the drivers does not mean that the feature is immediately ready for public use, but it clearly shows the direction in which the Radeon team is developing AI frame generation, latency reduction and AI graphics effects, reports Wccftech.
