AMD explains why it’s being cautious with multi frame gen while Nvidia and Intel go full speed ahead

Even with the introduction of FSR Redstone in late 2025, AMD still doesn’t have an exact equivalent to Nvidia’s Multi Frame Generation (MFG) technology. Intel joined the party by adding MFG to XeSS 3 a few months ago, and the AI-accelerated tech has made its way to the new Panther Lake laptops, making them viable for gaming on integrated graphics.

While Nvidia continues to push Multi Frame Gen further by bringing it up to 6x MFG in DLSS 4.5, AMD chose to upgrade its FG tech with a new ML-powered model to “effectively double your frame rate” – in other words, continue offering 2x frame gen; one rendered frame and one AI-generated frame. Nvidia’s 6x mode, in comparison, generates five extra frames using AI.

In a recent interview with Gizmodo, AMD executive David McAfee touched on the topic of Multi Frame Generation. The PC gaming community hasn’t taken as kindly to frame generation as it has with AI upscaling, especially as many PC gamers feel developers are relying on it too much, which is a valid concern given that frame gen works best when you already have a decent base framerate.

“We will proceed very cautiously and listen to the gaming community and the reaction that they have to these multi-frame gen capabilities. I think a lot of gamers feel…
