A bunch of options for AMD’s forthcoming multi frame gen tech have appeared in a third-party driver tool, suggesting that work on the frame rate boosting feature is currently in progress. The settings appear in Radeon Tuner, which gives you access to extra features that are hidden by AMD’s official Adrenalin software.
Over on the Chiphell forums, a user called Mouse tried it out on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, and found several options for FSR multi frame gen (MFG) after enabling the software’s ‘Show Experimental Settings’ option. None of it works at the moment, but Radeon Tuner developer Dumbie has said that the feature is there because the names of these settings now appear in AMD’s driver. It’s just that the “code to make the setting work” isn’t there yet.
Mouse also spotted that there are settings to push AMD FSR multi frame gen all the way to an 8x mode, which would beat Nvidia’s top 6x MFG option. However, while this apparent 8x mode has grabbed a lot of headlines in the tech press so far, there’s an important note about it from Dumbie on GitHub.
“I added the MFG ratios up to x8 as placeholder to be able to test it once AMD decides to release MFG,” says Dumbie. “I cannot confirm the actual final ratio range MFG will be released with.” That means there’s no reference to an 8x mode in AMD’s driver, it’s just that Radeon Tuner has added it for testing in case such a feature does turn up in future.
AMD has already officially announced that its forthcoming FSR Diamond tech will feature multi frame generation, and that it will be based on machine learning as well. However a comment from renowned tech leaker Kepler_L2 at the time of FSR Diamond’s announcement suggested it would only work on RDNA 5 GPUs.
If true, that will make competing with Nvidia hard for AMD, given that the GeForce RTX 5000 series already supports MFG, and RDNA 5 isn’t due out for a while yet. AMD has since managed to get FSR 4 on RDNA 3 GPUs running reasonably well, and the fact that MFG is now being mentioned in current drivers, even if the feature doesn’t work yet, gives us hope that MFG may at least come to RDNA 4 GPUs.
A bunch of other features are also shown by Radeon Tuner, suggesting they may come to future AMD drivers. These include on/off override toggles for AMD’s Ray Regeneration denoiser, as well as FSR Neural Radiance Cache. There are override options for upscaling, frame gen and MFG as well.
