AMD may be preparing 8x Multi-Frame Generation for a future FSR update

AMD's latest Adrenalin 26.6.2 graphics driver appears to contain several hidden FSR features that haven't been officially announced yet, including support for Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) modes of up to 8x, according to discoveries made using the RadeonTuner utility.

AMD has been laying the groundwork for expanded FSR Redstone features for some time. Back in April, the company quietly introduced preliminary Multi-Frame Generation support into the ADLX FidelityFX SDK, hinting that future Radeon GPUs would eventually let users choose different frame generation ratios for the best balance of image quality and performance. Since then, AMD has continued expanding its upscaling technology, most recently with the release of FSR 4.1.1.

Now, users have uncovered additional evidence that much more is on the way. A member of the Chiphell Forums used RadeonTuner - a lightweight alternative to AMD's Adrenalin software that can expose hidden driver options—to inspect the latest drivers. Running Adrenalin 26.6.2 alongside the FSR 4.1.1 Override Library (v2.3.0.2740) on a Radeon RX 9070 XT revealed several previously unseen settings under the FSR menu.

Among the newly discovered options are:

• FSR Multi-Frame Generation Ratio (up to 8x)
• FSR Multi-Frame Generation Override
• FSR Ray Regeneration Denoiser Override
• FSR Neural Radiance Caching Override

Perhaps the biggest surprise is the Multi-Frame Generation menu itself, which reportedly includes selectable ratios ranging from 1x all the way to 8x. In theory, 8x frame generation could multiply a native 60 FPS workload into an output approaching 480 FPS, assuming the technology performs as intended.

That doesn't necessarily mean AMD plans to ship 8x Frame Generation anytime soon. At this stage, the options appear to be experimental and remain completely non-functional. They likely require internal FSR DLLs or newer software components that haven't been released publicly. Current FSR Override features already allow supported RDNA 4 GPUs to upgrade compatible games to FSR 4.1 upscaling and ML-powered Frame Generation, with these newly discovered modes also believed to target RDNA 4 and newer hardware.

While nothing is official yet, the hidden settings suggest AMD is actively developing more ambitious versions of its AI graphics technologies. Between Multi-Frame Generation, Ray Regeneration, and Neural Radiance Caching, FSR could be in line for one of its biggest updates yet later this year.
