I'm on an older version (24.4.1) which has been great for several months, but in the last week I've randomly been getting a problem which I'm pretty sure I had before...

While gaming (only happened in Destiny 2 so far), the game will randomly minimize to the taskbar, so that my desktop and other windows are shown instead.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Nice one m8, will try. You've had that XTX a fair while now (for you), been happy with it? Had my Nitro about 7 months which is a while for me and I really like it :)

Damn shame they're leaving the high-end market, but it was on the cards (pun intended) :(

Yeah I've been very happy with my 7900XTX, No issues.

As for them pulling out of the high end, It's only for 1 gen which IMO is smart, Saturate the low and mid tiers with product so then the following gen you have support of more game devs, Then reintroduce the halo product/s.

I'll likely be keeping my 7900XTX until they release the high end with RDNA5, Not like it struggles with anything that I play.

I think it'll be for longer, maybe 3 or 4 gens til they can actually gain a decent foothold. They must know how far behind they are.

They do need to get their act together though as Nvidia are like sharks, They aggressively go after the best talent while it seems AMD look for part time hobbyists.

New preview driver focusing on AFMF2 optimisations -

Preview Driver Introduction​


Welcome to the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Preview Driver, featuring new technologies and updates currently under development, including the groundbreaking AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) 2—a major advancement in frame generation technology. Explore the innovations in this driver by reading our blog HERE.


Important Notes​


This preview driver offers an early look at upcoming features. We encourage you to provide feedback through the AMD Bug Report Tool. If any persistent issues occur while using the preview driver, please use the AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool to revert to the latest recommended version of AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.


New Feature Highlights​


  • AFMF 2 Technical Preview– A major advancement in frame generation technology for AMD HYPR-RX
    • Lower Latency and Higher Performance
      • AFMF 2 enhances fast-paced gaming by significantly reducing frame-generation latency and performance scaling through new modes.
    • Fast Motion Optimization
      • Enjoy smoother gameplay and higher FPS with improved frame generation consistency during fast motion.
    • Improved Borderless-Fullscreen Support
      • Expanded display mode support for RDNA 3 series graphics products ensures compatibility with virtually all borderless-fullscreen games.
    • Expanded API Support
      • Enable AFMF 2 for any OpenGLNEW, VulkanNEW, DirectX® 11, and 12 titles.
    • Radeon™ Chill Interop Support
      • AFMF 2 now supports Radeon™ Chill, providing a low latency FPS capping option.
    • Extensive Product Support
      • AFMF 2 is optimized for an extensive list of AMD products, including AMD Ryzen AI™ 300 series processors.

What to Know?​


AFMF is a state-of-the-art frame generation technology exclusive to AMD. It enhances frame rates and gameplay smoothness and is integrated into AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™. As part of AMD HYPR-RX, our one-click performance solution, it delivers exceptional gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards.


How to Enable​


  • AFMF 2 can be enabled for any OpenGLNEW, VulkanNEW, DirectX® 11, and 12 title using HYPR-RX or the AMD Fluid Motion 2 Toggle.
    • AFMF 2 is supported on AMD Radeon™ 700M and 800M integrated graphics, AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 and RX 7000 series desktop and mobile discrete graphics cards.
    • AFMF 2 currently requires the game to be played in exclusive or borderless fullscreen mode with V-SYNC disabled.
      • For a better visual experience, use AFMF 2 with a variable refresh rate-enabled display.
        • Enabling Radeon™ Chill after AFMF will automatically set the FPS cap to reduce tearing.
      • Use the in-game overlay (ALT+R) in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ to check AFMF’s frame generation status.
    • AFMF 2 adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside the game’s engine. Users can enable the AMD Software Performance Metrics Overlay to see the resulting FPS.

How to Optimize​


  • AFMF 2 introduces new modes that are automatically tuned for the best experience based on your configuration. These can be manually adjusted to your preferences if needed
    • AFMF 2 adds a new “High” Search Mode setting for improved frame consistency during fast motion, enabled by default for resolutions of 2560x1440 and above.
      • This reduces the jittering or stuttering encountered with AFMF 1 at higher resolutions.
    • AFMF 2 adds a new Performance Mode setting to reduce frame-generation overhead, enabled as “Performance” by default for integrated graphics products.
      • Integrated graphics users may switch back to the “Quality” performance preset for better frame-generation quality during fast motion. The “Quality” preset is the default when using discrete graphics cards.
      • Users can manually enable this “Performance” mode on discrete graphics cards to hit even higher frame rates when GPU bound to maximize the FPS uplift.
    • Users can find these tuning options within the “Advanced View” of HYPR-RX.

Multi-GPU Configurations​


  • For any hybrid-graphics configuration, AFMF 2 will use the displaying GPU for frame generation, allowing the render GPU to focus on the game.

September 6​


We have updated our technical preview driver to include new game optimizations and general stability fixes, including several crash issues reported by the community.


This AFMF 2 technical preview driver includes optimizations and improvements for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, giving gamers a high-quality frame generation experience when combined with the in-game support for AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) 2.
