This gonna be my go to channel. I just got into pc gaming especially handheld gaming navigating through windows is a pain for me because I’m a Mac user which is similar to Linux I haven’t used windows in so long
so is this better than lossless scaling? I have the old model of the rog ally x and I have been enjoying the performance it’s delivering but this is a game changer thanks for covering this and letting us know what we will get in the future!
@@nophacetech yeah, the "garble" in the artefacts in AFMF are much more noticeable, people say AFMF have better latency in the other hand, but i use the allow screen option that reduces a lot the latency and honestly don't feel it ( i also have around 80 fps of base frame and that influences a lot)
@@DesocupadoXtremo lossless scaling adds over 80ms of input lag, vs 10-15 in AFMF 2, its useless to run a game in 100 fps with the input lag of a 15 fps game.
@@SrUnr3al don't know where you took that, but i use it in a 165hz QHD screen, pushing those frames native is quite hard, i use LS and honestly don't feel that much you said, thats worse them Vsync
@@nophacetech yessir I did!! I also have lossless scaling but its a little more convenient to just run the game and AFMF2 kicks in. Stacking RSR was nice but I found it better to stack AFMF2 with Integer Scaling. dial up the graphics and still hit consistent frames at a lower TDP. Try it out and let me know what you think. In MW3 with IS and AFMF2, graphics set to basic, I have it locked at 72 fps which really is 144 due to AFMF2 and its around 20W
A bit misleading to show a static area in Elden Ring where of course the FPS will be high. It would have been better showing it off during some action or fighting.
Little bit challenging on Ally, the system likes to revert back to the original drivers after the restart. I've done it again and now I'm just putting it into sleep, don't want to need to do it again and again haha
yeah it will be better when its actually released.. i have already had to reinstall it. But make sure you have auto update switched off in your system settings.
Did you follow the guide I posted in the links it's not just a quick download and install you have to force install and do some stuff to make it work. The guide I posted worked for me.
NGL this is the first video I've seen that's making me consider the ROG over by Steam Deck OLED. Especially with Valve confirming SteamOS for the Ally. Valve also confirmed their working on the Dual Boot windows support. I wonder if that would allow for AFMF2 a little easier. Either way. You're right. AFMF2 is the future for handhelds in particular
We might need to wait some time, but AMD definitely is trying to give users good things, while Nvidia introduce also good things, but you have to pay all the time
to be honest i just copied over what was on my PC from like a year or two ago and jumped right into it without looking at it all hahaha i spent a lot of time back then dialing it in but i would have to go look.
I’m more curious about how you got TotK to run without those weird visual rainbow artifacts happening in the textures on the Ally. I was researching this and it apparently has something to do with RDNA 3 architecture. I’ve tried on the original Ally and the X. Similar results.
@@nophacetechI am also interested in knowing which mods you have enabled and what update version of TOTK you are running. If you could look at what mods are enabled in Yuzu settings and which game update version is installed/enabled and let us know here, that would be awesome!
I plug it in sometimes next to my couch, on my bed, the airplane has an outlet so I plug it in... Feels like the real world to me. But you can always skip that if you don't ever play plugged in. 🤙🏼🤘🏼
I thought with super resolution you're supposed to leave the display's resolution setting at 1080p (in command center) and then set the in-game resolution to 720p? Otherwise you're still going to have a 720p resolution because that's what the device's display is set to.
@@nophacetech so you recommend waiting for official? I just bought my Ally X today and in the process of setting up. Worried I won’t have good experience without doing this since so many videos saying this makes it better
@@KillahX669 if you are comfortable Seidel loading force, loading beta drivers, then follow the guide and try it if you're not comfortable doing that I would recommend just waiting. The Alex is amazing without it and they will officially release it at some point where you'll just be able to click update and then start using it, it's up to you I can't make that decision. There's always a risk involved when you're messing with drivers and stuff like that with windows and it would void the warranty if they wanted to be annoying and historically they have been that way.
Yes. But I didn’t like the result in the games I tested. Nevertheless I installed the driver and Windows 11 insider program (24H2) and without using AFMF2 the games I tested worked better. I use RSR+FSR. Don’t like lossless scaling either. Here is a tutorial of how to install the driver ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vfEXkV2dDfE.htmlsi=REq5jEWAT2xo6i9F
Can you please show how to install it ??? Like make a video,I’ve been looking for days now. And no one can just explain how. I’ve used the link and it still keeps showing me to regular one
I had a decision to make. I already have steam deck oled. Wanted to play Zelda tear of the kingdom on it. But it lags alot. So it was between buy the new rog ally x to play it or just get switch oled. Fyi. I went with the switch oled. Loving Zelda on it
I know it gives you "more frames," but does it feel smoother in terms of game feel and responsiveness? I have the ROG x and want to know if it's worth the trouble of installing this preview driver or just wait for the official updated driver.
yeah it feels way smoother I'm pumped and will always use it on games like this. As far as going through the install.. idk man hahah that's a do at your own risk.
If you’re struggling to get 60fps to begin with it won’t feel as good or do as good. If u want a good experience cap your fps at half your refresh rate or whatever fox you can run stable and then amble to fmf2. An fps cap will help with any latency and having the game capped gives headroom for afmf2
it just pushes more power to the CPU so for most games it will make them worse because now less power can go to the GPU.. but emulation is very CPU heavy so it can help in that situation.
I used AFMF 2 on my system. It’s a system-wide setting that optimizes frame rates for all applications, not just specific games, so it runs smoothly on Yuzu as well. here is a long chatgpt breakdown : AFMF 2, or Advanced Frame Management Framework 2, is an enhanced system for managing frame rates and improving overall gaming performance. Here’s how it works and its benefits: How AFMF 2 Works 1. System-Wide Frame Management: • AFMF 2 operates at the system level rather than being confined to individual games. This means it can optimize frame rates across all applications and games running on the system. 2. Resource Allocation: • It dynamically allocates system resources to ensure optimal performance. By balancing CPU and GPU workloads, AFMF 2 helps maintain a smoother and more consistent frame rate. 3. Adaptive Synchronization: • AFMF 2 employs adaptive synchronization techniques to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. It matches the frame output of the GPU with the refresh rate of the monitor, creating a seamless visual experience. 4. Performance Monitoring and Adjustment: • The framework continuously monitors performance metrics and makes real-time adjustments. This proactive approach helps in maintaining the best possible performance under varying system loads. Benefits of AFMF 2 1. Broad Compatibility: • Since AFMF 2 is a system-wide setting, it can be used with a wide range of hardware and software configurations. It is not tied to specific games or applications, making it versatile and easy to implement. 2. Consistent Performance: • By managing frame rates across all applications, AFMF 2 ensures a consistent gaming experience. It minimizes performance dips and spikes, providing a more stable frame rate. 3. Reduced Latency: • AFMF 2 reduces input lag by optimizing the frame delivery process. This is particularly beneficial for fast-paced games where quick response times are crucial. 4. Improved Visual Quality: • The adaptive synchronization and resource management techniques help in maintaining high visual quality. Reduced screen tearing and stuttering lead to a smoother and more immersive gaming experience. 5. Ease of Use: • As a system-wide setting, AFMF 2 is straightforward to activate and use. Users do not need to configure individual games, saving time and simplifying the optimization process. In summary, AFMF 2 enhances gaming performance by managing frame rates at the system level, offering broad compatibility, consistent performance, reduced latency, improved visual quality, and ease of use.
yeah i didn't even know what that was haha been messing around with it the last couple days since you left this comment. Ill film some more vids this week and check it out.
@@nophacetech I figured it out in the instructions he says get the ryzen 7840u or w e download and that mislead me it just kept giving me the none preview update. In your description if u could to help others tell them to just go to the link u posted about afmf2 and scroll to the bottom and add update from there and then follow the instructions that’s on the other link . Ignore ryzen 7840u completely
@@nophacetech I did everything mentioned, but AFMF 2 always disabled in every games although I have definitely active them in the commend center. Do you know what should I do to fix it? It have already set full screen without V-sync…
You gotta be more specific man I know it says 45fps but it lies to you your eyes see the crazy stutter and it drops down to 17fps and goes up to 51fps. What is your yuzu version? What is game version. Please elaborate and make a video on TOTK. Please please please.
This may be a dumb question but do you happen to knoe why my RSR option in command center is not showing up? I went to add more things to my command center and the rsr option is greyed out and i cannot add it to CC. Anyone know why? Lol
@nophacetech honestly I just ended up doing a could recovery on it and the fresh install pretty much fixed all the issues. Not sure why out of the box it had a messed up install but eh whatever lol
its not for the steam deck.. not sure if it will i need to do some research on that. ChatGPT says" AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology is currently not supported on the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck uses custom RDNA 2 APUs, and the AFMF feature, which is designed to enhance frame rates by generating additional frames using AI, does not support these custom APUs as of now
Unfortunately I have my doubts about the usefulness of AFMF2 on Steamdeck, functions like interpolation require a lot of GPGPU compute and that is specifically what RDNA3 is good for (8Tflops on the Z1E vs. the 1.6Tflops of Steamdeck). Once we have Strix Point APUs and the 11.88Tflop 890M GPU these features will work even better.
@@phillipsjuan3871 the problem is, AMFM doesn't run well on the Steam Deck with windows. Apart from a few games with FSR 3 frame gen built in like Ghost of Tsushima, stutters a lot on other games. RDNA 2 just can't handle frame gen well.
These people installing experimental betas are the same people that end up complaining that their devices are buggy and windows sucks. Lol. Afmf2 looks great, I will wait patiently for it
Windows was buggy without this… because, well, it’s Windows. Trying to defend Windows as if it’s stable and user-friendly on a handheld gaming PC is obviously far from the truth. The beta drivers haven’t introduced any new issues over the last week-just the same old Windows quirks. But customizing and trying to get the best performance is kinda the point of PC gaming.
@@nophacetech I find that people who say windows is buggy just don't really know how to use windows. It's rock solid for me. The hate on Windows is just a narrative.
