AMD on September 23 released AMD Software PyTorch on Windows Preview Edition 25.20.01.14, which most gamers on the regular WHQL or Beta trunks skipped. Those that did grab the driver and started poking around in the AMD Software application, discovered a feature not found in the gamer-focused regular releases—Fast Motion Response. This feature is a subset of AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), the company's frame generation feature.

In the regular AMD Software driver, such as the latest Adrenalin 25.9.2, AFMF 2 offers two toggles, Search and Performance. The Search toggle prioritizes image-quality and smoothness for high-res displays (1440p and above), while the Performance toggle reduces the software overhead of AFMF on lower-spec hardware, such as mainstream GPUs and iGPUs. The PyTorch Preview driver adds the Fast Motion Response toggle with two options, Repeat Frame mode, and Blended Frame mode. In Repeat Frame mode, there is a brute interpolation of the output by simply repeating the previous frame. In Blended Frame mode, the GPU blends reconstructed frames to the output, which looks fluid in low- to mid-level action scenes, but could cause blur or ghosting in fast action scenes.
