Hidden settings in AMD's latest Adrenalin drivers show the company is testing Multi Frame Generation (MFG) with ratios up to 8x-potentially generating 7 AI frames for every 1 native frame. This would surpass Nvidia's current 6x maximum. The feature is not yet functional, as AMD has not shipped the underlying ML models. Driver code also hints at upcoming overrides for Ray Regeneration and Neural Radiance Caching, which could allow users to force these advanced ray tracing features in games that don't natively support them.
