AMD is quietly building support for a new frame-generation feature that could push its Radeon graphics cards ahead of Nvidia’s in one key performance metric. Evidence uncovered in the company’s newest Adrenalin drivers points to Multi Frame Generation options scaling up to an 8x ratio, a jump that would allow a single rendered frame to generate 7 additional frames. The discovery came from a user on Chiphell Forums who was using the RadeonTuner utility and found the options hidden in driver version 26.6.2 WHQL.
AMD has not made an official announcement about MFG 8x, but its presence inside shipping driver code suggests the company is actively testing the technology ahead of a future rollout. Gamers running RDNA-based Radeon cards, along with anyone tracking the ongoing rivalry between AMD, Nvidia, and Intel on frame generation, stand to be affected once the feature reaches wider release.
What The Hidden Driver Options Reveal
AMD has been laying groundwork for Multi Frame Generation since earlier this year, when preliminary support first appeared inside the ADLX FidelityFX SDK. That early listing let developers select a frame generation ratio to balance performance and visual quality, though no Radeon GPU actually shipped with the feature enabled.
Since then, AMD has rolled out several driver updates, including the FSR 4.1.1 release that expanded machine-learning-based upscaling to more RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5 hardware. These incremental steps suggest a deliberate rollout strategy rather than a rushed feature addition, with each driver revision quietly extending the groundwork MFG will eventually depend on.
New Toggles Found In RadeonTuner
The RadeonTuner tool, a streamlined alternative to the full Adrenalin software suite, exposed several previously unlisted entries under its Graphics and FSR panels when paired with the RX 9070 XT. Testers spotted four new controls that had not appeared in earlier driver builds.
- FSR Multi Frame Generation Ratio, adjustable up to 8x
- FSR Multi Frame Generation Override
- FSR Ray Regeneration Denoiser Override
- FSR Neural Radiance Caching Override
Each option sits alongside existing Anti-Lag and Fluid Motion Frames controls, suggesting AMD is preparing to integrate MFG directly into its driver-level toggles rather than limiting it to individual game profiles. That structural choice could make it easier to enable the feature broadly once it ships.

AMD MFG 8x Compared With Nvidia And Intel
How The Competing Ratios Stack Up
Nvidia‘s DLSS technology tops out at a 6x multi-frame generation mode after building up gradually from 2x and 4x ratios, while Intel currently offers a 4x mode on its Arc lineup. AMD’s standard frame generation today produces just one generated frame per native frame, making an eventual jump to 8x a substantial leap in both scope and engineering difficulty.
This gap between AMD’s current baseline and its rumored target is significant and raises questions about how the company plans to close it without compromising image quality or responsiveness.
Frame Pacing Becomes The Real Test
Generating seven additional frames for every native frame raises the stakes for frame pacing and latency control. Smoother motion only helps players if input lag and visual stutter stay in check, so AMD will likely need to update its Anti-Lag technology alongside any MFG 8x rollout.
Nvidia has already signaled it could push frame generation ratios even higher, with a 16x figure mentioned during Blackwell-era technical presentations, showing that this race is far from settled. Both companies appear to be treating frame multiplication as an open-ended contest rather than a fixed target, which suggests further escalation is likely in future driver and hardware generations.

Current Game Support Remains Limited
Titles that currently support AMD’s neural rendering technologies include Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Crimson Desert, Mafia: Old Country, and Warhammer 40000 Darktide. That list remains shorter than Nvidia’s supported catalog, but override options could let AMD close the gap by extending these features well beyond officially certified games.
AMD has not confirmed a release date for any of the newly discovered options, and RadeonTuner’s findings represent unreleased driver code rather than a formal product announcement. Radeon owners looking to test early builds can monitor upcoming Adrenalin driver changelogs for official confirmation of MFG rollout timing.
