- AMDS FSR ‘Redstone’ update could soon be here, with a new driver discovery referring to AFMF 3
- AFMF 3, a frame generation tool at driver level, could be included in the Redstone package
- Redstone could finally see FSR 4 Backported to older RDNA 3 GPUs
AMD goes after gold This generation with its Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs placed among the best GPUs on the market as the new ‘Redstone’ AI SCALCALING UPDATION To improve frame generation in the game, Ray Tracing Beckons. Fortunately, it seems a crucial discovery that the audit can be closer than expected.
As reported by Videocardz, AMD’s AFMF 3 (AMD FLUID MOTION Frames) was spotted in driver files retrieved by a user in Guru3D forums, indicating that the tool for frame generation of the driver level comes via the next 25.20 adrenaline driver update this could be included in the long-awaited ‘Redstone’ Redstone.
Redstone seeks to improve both ML (Machine Learning) frame) Frame and beam poring for Radeon RX 9000 Series RDNA 4 GPUs. This also includes upgrades to FSR 4S Super Resolution for Better Image Quality, while maintaining large image vendors when it is upscaling.
If the recent speculation is spot on, we could very well see Redstone arrive with AFMF 3 packed in a new driver update (which is likely to be available for RDNA 4 and older GPUs), and most importantly, the potential backport of FSR 4 to RDNA 3.5 GPUs.
It is not long-term to suggest that this may be accurate, as Team Red’s recent mistake of briefly making the FSR 4 Open Source has allowed Modders to use FSR 4 on older AMD hardware, and the hints that AMD can actually work on a backport in time for Redstone’s release.
Either way, AFMF 3 could bring some required improvements from AFMF 2.1, specifically to reduce the effect of ghost and input delay and fiercely compete with Nvidia’s equivalent, smooth movement.
Analysis: Redstone is the right time for FSR 4 to become available in addition to RDNA 4 GPUs
While I primarily use Nvidia’s hardware on my desktop game -PC, both my Lenovo Legion Go S and Asus Rog Ally powered by AMD’s Z1 Extreme, and many users, including myself, have been waiting for news on FSR 4, potentially finding its way to RDNA 3 Radeon 780m IGPU -and this Redstone looks like the ideal time for it.
Again, I will not sound like a broken record, but NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 is still the better option over FSR 4 thanks to its greater image quality, beam pording and frame generation (including multi frame generation) and DLSS 4 (Super Resolution) is available on all RTX GPUs.
Redstone must be the update that closes this gap between DLSS 4 and FSR 4, so the latter is at least available to a wider range of AMD hardware users and not just RDNA 4 GPUs.
While FSR 4 is technically available to spend on older hardware via optics, an official implementation from AMD will relieve any concerns with tinkering and functionality solutions. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long.
