AMD appears to be laying the groundwork for its own Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) feature as part of its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) ecosystem. Hints of this next step have surfaced in recent additions to the FidelityFX SDK, suggesting AMD is moving closer to the kind of selectable frame generation ratios that have become a major performance talking point in modern PC gaming.
The timing makes sense. AMD’s latest FSR-focused push, often referenced alongside its newer “Redstone” improvements for Radeon GPUs, has already expanded the company’s AI-assisted graphics toolkit. Recent updates have centered on better upscaling quality, improved frame generation behavior, and support for techniques such as Ray Regeneration, all designed to increase performance while keeping image quality competitive in demanding titles.
One capability AMD has notably trailed in, however, is Multi-Frame Generation. Traditional frame generation generally targets a 2x style uplift by inserting generated frames between traditionally rendered frames. Multi-Frame Generation takes that idea further by letting users choose higher ratios, which can significantly increase perceived frame rates when GPU workloads get especially heavy.
Right now, AMD’s widely discussed implementation has been limited to standard frame generation (commonly described as up to 2x modes). Competing solutions have pushed deeper into MFG-style options. NVIDIA introduced multi-frame approaches starting with its RTX 40-series, offering higher ratios, and expanded those options further in newer generations. Intel also entered the conversation with its own approach through XeSS 3, bringing selectable ratios to supported Arc GPUs and some integrated graphics configurations. The end result is that all three major GPU vendors are now converging on similar goals: more flexible frame generation options that can be tuned for performance, smoothness, and visual stability.
What’s interesting with AMD is where the clue appears. Preliminary support has reportedly shown up inside the ADLX FidelityFX SDK through a new option labeled “IADLX3DFidelityDXFrameGenUpgradeRatioOption.” In plain terms, it sounds like a control point that would allow users (or game developers via graphics settings) to select a preferred frame generation ratio. That is effectively what MFG is about: not just enabling frame generation, but choosing how aggressively it should scale.
If AMD follows through, this would be especially useful as more games lean into expensive rendering features such as path tracing and other advanced lighting techniques. These effects can be visually impressive, but they also push hardware hard, making adaptive performance technologies increasingly important for keeping gameplay fluid at higher resolutions.
The potential benefit isn’t limited to future GPUs, either. A ratio-based frame generation option could help AMD’s current Radeon lineup as well, depending on how the final feature is implemented and which products get support. It also fits into the longer-term direction of FSR, with talk continuing around more advanced next-generation solutions intended for upcoming hardware cycles, including future RDNA-based GPUs and console-class platforms.
For PC gamers watching the upscaling and frame generation race, AMD bringing Multi-Frame Generation into FSR would be a major milestone. The remaining questions are the ones that matter most to users: what ratios will be offered, how well it will maintain image stability and responsiveness, and whether AMD targets something like 4x modes, 6x modes, or potentially even higher options to compete at the top end.
