    Can anyone confirm if the broken RDNA2 HW Accelerated video playback (stutters/freezes) fix from 23.10.1 is implemented in the new 9 Nov AFMF driver? Last one didn’t have it

      Seems like it’s fixed, already using them for around 3 hours and there’s no freezes like in the past AFMF drivers, weird they didn’t mention it as fixed.

    I reported a problem with League of Legends crashing the other day, only present on the Preview driver from early October, even with AFMF disabled. It does not happen with the regular driver. I wonder if they’ve had a look at it.

      I reverted solely for league and tab-out issue – looks like this supposedly resolves tabbing out, any updates on league crashing with this driver (I’ll give it a shot myself anyway, just curious if worth it)

      I’ve just reverted to 23.10.2 because league would randomly freeze my whole PC, can play very demanding games from this year for hours and no problem, but league is a shitshow

    “We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.”

    How exited do we need to get so they support RX 5000 Cards?

      They made it clear it is not a priority. RDNA1 got DXNavi years later. AMD sold RDNA1 with very low prices for good rasterized performance. On the other hand, they asked for a premium with RDNA2 and it is only right they back it up with good feature updates.

        Justifications like this are ridiculous. Got DXNavi years later when only being one gen old is no excuse, regardless of how much it costed, tons of people own it. They need to support their cards better like NVIDIA

    It’s insane that people get excited over features that lowers image fidelity like upscaling and fake frames rather than get real features and advancement.

      I don’t notice any image quality losses with AFMF. Most people won’t too. All the videos that complain about Frame Gen are literally at 20% speed and 500% zoom as if that’s realistic during actual gameplay lmao.

      Also, the frames aren’t “fake”, they’re very real if you’re using frame gen properly, noticeable in gameplay. As real as the other frames at least.

        They’re not as real as the other frames because you don’t get the benefit of reduced input lag from the fake ones. If you have 60 FPS without frame gen and 180 with it, the mouse will steel feel as if you were playing at 60. The fake frames are great for playing with a controller since it isn’t anywhere near as input lag sensitive as mouse is.

          If you get 120 fps with frame gen and 60 fps without, sure it doesn’t feel like 120 fps but it definitely feels like 80-100 which is an improvement. That’s my personal experience with a mouse, I don’t play with a controller.

      You’re simply thinking about this entirely incorrectly.

      “fake” frames are what every frame is upscaled or not.

      What you need to ask is “is the quality good?” “is this acceptable?”

      In the vast majority of cases i’d say that nvidia’s offerings the answer is yes.

      most people don’t care and won’t even notice the difference, the upscaling tech is going to save current gen console games

        That’s the main concern for me too.

        Ever since I bought RX 7600 (specifically for CS2) it’s had occasional driver timeouts. Tried everything, even went through with an RMA with no change. Reproducible in CS2 staring at water on anubis ct spawn usually fairly quickly < 10 minutes. Only workaround was limiting the boost clock speed from 2900 to around 2750.

        I just spent ~45min testing on this driver (at a steady 2900+ mhz boost clock) with no issues. Cautiously optimistic after all of the stuff I tried. If it survives an overnight test it will be a massive relief.

    Well I just installed it because I was angry about crashes and BSOD with 23.11.1 driver. So far this version seems to be doing ok, but I’ll need a few more days without a crash for it to see.

    I just wonder why I cannot use AFMF with Genshin Impact. It says incompatible mode or so. Anyone got it to work with this game?

      You can use it with Genshin by disabling fullscreen optimizations in the exe file properties, starting the game with a shortcut with “-window-mode exclusive” as a launch option in the target file, and disabling vsync. Although, playing the game with AFMF lowers my screen contrast so much for some reason that it makes it unplayable. The first time I did it, it didn’t have that problem. It also doesn’t happen with the other games I have.

      Just a PSA, there is an FPS unlocker for genshin, but use it at your own risk

      Tomorrow I will try AFMF without the unlocker and report back

      Hey! How dare you ask them to support their GPUs! Doesn’t matter if it’s only 1 or 2 generations old or is on a very similar architecture. They worked HARD, cut them some slack.

      NVIDIA is making a big mistake supporting their cards for so long, I wish they’d stop and join AMD then I might consider buying them.

    This is awesome, I just installed this on my sons pc. With an rx 6600, we were getting 80ish fps at 1440p in re4, with fmf enabled it’s at about 180 on the same settings. It does look a little weird but nothing too bad. This is great!

        I’ll pop in here, it’s fucking great. I will admit that I’m not super susceptible to input lag and I have a hard time noticing it, the only time I do is when the frame rate of the game itself drops. I have it capped in all the games I play so it maintains a locked frame rate at whatever I set it at. Once I did that it felt really good on everything but FPS games.

    Can someone let me know if this helps with crashes on 7800XT i.e. black/green screen of death? I got my RMA ready and will ship it tomorrow if this is not the miracle I’ve been waiting for over the last three weeks…
