AFMF could be quite a boon for someone with a RTX 3080-3090 who wants to wait for, say, NVidia Blackwell RTX 5K but has the budget to go for a 'decent but value-priced' 7900XTX now, or a @LabRat pointed out , even  has an older AMD GPU. I just don't know about how AFMF works re. VRAM capacities - hopefully I 'learn AFMF by doing' soon 

 

 

 

I could be off, since I haven't used it the way @LabRat has, but from my understanding of it the "render" card is the one you need to worry about the VRAM on as you use the raster performance from that card (or even RT performance).  The AFMF is processed, pretty sure by one of the secondary "cores" or whatever on the AMD cards, like the encoding or decoding section of the card.  So no, it doesn't need VRAM, it just needs to be connected to your display with AFMF on, and that's it.  Select the other card as your render card (Windows 11 has that capability).  And that's it.  You're now rendering on a GTX 1080Ti with AFMF on through the RX 6400 for example.

And yes, it really would be a cheap way for ANYONE really to add AFMF to their system.  If your current GPU is more powerful than an RX 6400 (to get the AFMF features on), then it'd be worth it to try.  It would be "pointless" to say put a 6900XT in a system with a 1080, as the 6900XT is more powerful already.  However it "would work" in that case too.  That's also why it doesn't matter if you use a 6900XT or a 6400, you're not using the raster performance of the card at all, nor its RT capabilities.

Think of it kind of like back in the day when we'd add a dedicated GT240 or 8800GT or something to our big HD4890 / HD5870 / HD6970 rigs for the PhysX support.  Same idea here.

Wonder if we could software run afmf.

My 13900k just idling in most game

Would love to test this tech but mini itx prevent me.

 

 

Can it be run am amd apu like the 780m 8700g

 

Right now, I believe the beta driver is only for RX 6000 - 7000 series GPU's.  It probably will roll out later on to the APU's though, I don't see why they'd keep AFMF off of those, those need it more than a 7900XTX does.  They might even roll it out (way later) to older cards like the RX 5000 series and maybe Polaris too (all currently supported cards).  If they don't, I suspect the guys behind the Amernizone drivers probably will.

The price to performance of the higher end cards is at least heading in the right direction... Being Nvidia I don't plan to see them in stock anytime soon. Since they are discontinuing the existing 4070ti and 4080, I'm sure the production of the new cards will be suspiciously low until they clear out all of the existing inventory. If they had full shelves of these new Super variants, that would force them to discount the old cards.

I wonder how long of a name pny will come up with this time. Maybe  a "PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Titanium super 16 GB XLR8 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X RGB OC"

Update unrelated

 

Afmf Seem to be supported on the new 8600g 8700g the benchmark chart from amd seem to says that it was used.

 

So maybe a 8600g with a 4070 super 4070ti super could be able to do 4k effortlessly!

Yeah, the permutations and combinations that can run this are really interesting but it could affect new GPU sales...hopefully, NVidia doesn't try to block it somehow with future drivers. With my 2x 2080 Ti in NVLink / SLI, there was an undocumented 'CFR' (instead of the usual AFR SLI) feature in the drivers for about eight months, then it disappeared.
