AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2: A Game Changer for Handheld Gaming?
Get ready to crank up the frame rates! AMD has just released a Technical Preview of Fluid Motion Frames 2, and it's already making waves in the world of handheld gaming. This new technology promises a noticeable performance boost, especially for low-power devices like the Asus ROG Ally X.
YouTuber ETA Prime has been putting Fluid Motion Frames 2 through its paces on the ROG Ally X, and the results are impressive. In games like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn, the Ally X saw a significant jump in frame rates, often doubling the original FPS.
For example, in Red Dead Redemption 2 at 900p resolution with low settings, the Ally X managed a solid 54 FPS. With Fluid Motion Frames 2 enabled, the frame rate soared to over 100 FPS, making the game smoother and more enjoyable.
It's important to note that this is still a technical preview, so there are some minor issues to be expected. ETA Prime encountered a few sudden FPS dips in some games, but AMD is sure to address these issues before the stable version is released.
The power of Fluid Motion Frames 2 is further emphasized by the fact that increasing the TDP (Thermal Design Power) can lead to even better performance. In Forza Horizon 5, with Fluid Motion Frames 2 enabled and the TDP bumped to 25W, the Ally X achieved a staggering 140 FPS!
This technology could be a game changer for handheld gaming. It has the potential to push the boundaries of what's possible on these powerful little devices. As AMD continues to refine Fluid Motion Frames 2, it will be exciting to see how this technology transforms the handheld gaming landscape.
