   Does anyone know if AMD Fluid Motion Frames will come to Linux on the driver level? I've been using the technical preview for AFMF2 on Windows, and frankly it's a game changer for people on integrated graphics.

   Linux gaming really needs this.

     @ReverseModule I think I need to write up an article about AFMF2 on the Framework 13. Sort of as a "tough love" piece. It's a compelling feature for Windows, and it's tough NOT to recommend it.

     But imagine if there was feature parity on Linux, just like FSR.

     @killyourfm I tried switching to Windows just for Lossless Scaling. Any kind of FG is a game changer for low end devices. And if you can up the frames of capped games as well it becomes absolutely essential for ANY kind of device.

     The Linux devs need to so seriously look into it.

     @killyourfm Probably not, just like various other app-level stuff for both nvidia and amd on windows

     @gamingonlinux But this is driver-level, AND it's open source...

     @ReverseModule Wish more people had a sensible stance like this.

     @killyourfm Absolutely. I think more people need to be aware of this amazing feature on Windows and the Linux people need to be motivated to actually implement it.

     Tech is just a tool. People should use what's best for the job. Having any bias in tech is like having a bias against a hammer. It just doesn't make sense.

     @shironeko Right, exactly. It's an open source feature, so I would assume it could maybe be added to the graphics stack, and switched on with some kind of flag?

     @killyourfm does anyone even uses AMD's driver? maybe mesa can have something similar, or someone can just implement it as a vulkan layer

     @shironeko This feels to me like something Valve would definitely want on Steam Deck!

     @killyourfm AMD's linux driver story is really unfortunate, they really should stop trying to shove their windows-esque driver onto people, wasting all that money and just work with the people that are actually doing the work in mesa.
     
     but fwiw, I think the framegen code is only open sourced this july so it's possible valve is already working on it.

     @ReverseModule Look at this. Captured on the ROG Ally Z1. (This is a link to my video on Nextcloud since it will be compressed garbage on Youtube.)

     OK, here's Fluid Motion Frames 2 in action (via AMD's preview driver on Windows 11). I captured Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the ROG Ally with AFMF2 on/off and made a side-by-side video.

     And here's another video comparison with the Dirt 5 benchmark:

     @killyourfm @gamingonlinux did they release the source for it yet? Quick search didn't yield a repo or release announcement for me 🤔
