Does AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) really improve ROG Ally performance?

As such, I’ll be keeping AFMF on when playing AAA games in the future.

Then, I noted the average FPS when AFMF 1 was enabled versus when it was disabled.

Since AFMF 2 now also works with Radeon Chill, I had that feature turned on as well.

As such, I highly recommend using this feature when playing graphically demanding games.

AFMF 2 can make games run better on ROG Ally as long as certain other tools on and others are off.

However, you should also go into specific prefs for each game to confirm the feature is turned on.

I’ll explain how to do that within AMD Software in the next section.
