The ROG Ally boasts significant performance improvements with the new AFMF technology

With the new and improved frame generation tech, the ROG Ally can now deliver even higher framerates than before while being more power efficient. As per AMD and Asus, AFMF is supposed to increase FPS by 200-250%, which is a massive improvement for devices with weaker GPUs like the Ally.

However, you'll have to factor in the added latency and visual artifacts. Although rare, there can be graphical glitches with AI-based upscaling and framerate-boosting technologies like AFMF.

Performance gains reported in some demanding titles by YouTuber Quick Expert Reviews are as follows:

	AFMF off (FPS)	AFMF on (FPS)
Helldivers 2	37	78
Fallout 76	42	100
Cyberpunk 2077	34	62

Overall, AFMF 2 is a welcome addition to the ROG handheld. It is widely supported across multiple games and can even be turned on in games that don't officially have support. This adds some extra shelf life to devices like the Ally that are already limited by their rendering potential.
