AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game

AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

What did the driver actually reveal?

Running RadeonTuner on a Radeon RX 9070 XT, the user spotted four new toggles sitting under the FSR panel. There’s an FSR Multi Frame Generation Override and a ratio that climbs all the way to 8x, alongside overrides for FSR Ray Regeneration Denoiser and FSR Neural Radiance Caching.

The 8x figure is the headline here. Nvidia currently tops out at 6x, which means five generated frames for every real one. AMD’s ceiling would push that to seven. Right now, AMD only offers standard frame generation with a single generated frame, so this is a serious leap.

Will it actually feel good to play?

More generated frames mean smoother motion on paper, but AMD will need much better frame pacing and latency handling to make it feel right. The override options might matter even more to you.

If AMD lets you force Ray Regeneration and Neural Radiance Caching on in games that don’t officially support them, features currently limited to a handful of titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Crimson Desert could suddenly work far more widely. That’s the kind of change that makes your existing GPU feel new again.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung has a new breed of OBLYX OLED panels and they should appear on your gaming laptops soon
Samsung's new OBLYX brand is all about OLED gaming laptops
Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.
