AMD is reportedly testing FSR Multi Frame Generation for existing Radeon GPUs, with ratios of up to 8x. According to a screenshot shared on the Chiphell forums, AMD's latest Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver includes support for Multi Frame Generation, as hidden experimental settings were discovered in RadeonTuner, a third-party open-source alternative to AMD Adrenalin Software. In addition to a new Multi Frame Generation Ratio setting, RadeonTuner also includes override options for FSR Ray Regeneration Denoiser and FSR Neural Radiance Caching.

This suggests that AMD is potentially testing FSR Multi Frame Generation, with options ranging from 1x to 8x. In theory, that could boost a base frame rate of 60 FPS to as high as 480 FPS, which is around 2x higher than what Nvidia currently offers on its RTX 50 series GPUs. That said, these settings are non-functional, and there is no confirmation whether AMD has plans to roll out an 8x Multi Frame Generation mode.

The discovery has also prompted a response from the developer of RadeonTuner on GitHub, where they explained that AMD occasionally adds the names of upcoming settings to its drivers months before the actual functionality is implemented. The developer also clarified that the newly listed Multi Frame Generation ratios of up to 8x are placeholders that have been added for testing purposes, meaning that it may or may not align with the final implementation that AMD ends up supporting eventually.

Interestingly, during Microsoft's recent unveiling of its upcoming Xbox platform codenamed Project Helix, the company confirmed that the console will feature FSR Diamond (previously called FSR Next). This was touted as an AI-powered rendering suite that would include machine learning-based upscaling, ray regeneration, and Multi Frame Generation. AMD's graphics chief, Jack Huynh, later described FSR Diamond as the result of a multi-year engineering collaboration with Microsoft.

While there is no indication that the hidden driver settings are directly tied to FSR Diamond, the presence of experimental options for Multi Frame Generation, Ray Regeneration, and Neural Radiance Caching suggests AMD is laying the groundwork for its next-generation FSR technologies across the Radeon ecosystem.

Combo deals are a great way to offset today's inflated memory prices while saving money on a complete platform upgrade. One such offer we spotted at Newegg bundles an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with a Gigabyte B650M motherboard and a Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB DDR5-6000 memory kit for $519.99. In addition to saving roughly $50, the bundle also includes a free Cooler Master Elite 240mm AIO liquid cooler valued at $79.99.

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a solid budget processor featuring 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz. Based on AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture, the CPU comes with a rated TDP of 65W, which not only makes it efficient but also allows it to run at much lower temperatures. As for memory, the 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB is a solid kit offering support for AMD Expo, 6000 MT/s speeds, addressable RGB lighting, and CL36 latency with timings of 36-44-44-96.

The Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus Wi-Fi is an entry-level mATX motherboard that comes with all the essential features, including a 5+2+2 digital VRM solution, support for DDR5 8000 (OC) memory, two M.2 SSD slots with support for PCIe Gen 4.0 speeds, a quick-release mechanism for the PCIe x16 slot, and onboard Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE LAN.

As mentioned, the deal includes a free Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240mm AIO liquid cooler, which should easily handle the Ryzen 5 9600X. The company claims that the included 120mm PWM fans are optimized for quiet operation, while the pre-installed CryoFuze thermal paste should offer excellent thermal conductivity. The cooler also comes with a unique translucent hexagonal cap that sits atop the pump block and features customizable ARGB lighting.

Considering the overall value, this $519.99 Newegg bundle offers a great starting point if you are looking at a budget-friendly AM5 gaming build. Not only do you save $50 on the core components, but you also get a free CPU cooler, bringing the total value of the offer to roughly $130. Do keep in mind that such combo deals are usually time-limited and subject to stock availability.

AMD’s formerly China-exclusive Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which rivals the best graphics cards, went global last month at a suggested MSRP of $549. The GPU has now seen its first price drop since its launch, with the Gigabyte Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE available for $499 at Newegg. While the listing shows $549, customers can use a $50 promo code by submitting their email address to reveal it.

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is built on AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics architecture, and uses the same Navi 48 GPU as the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. However, it uses a cut-down version of that chip with 48 compute units. It also comes with 12GB of GDDR6 running at 18 Gbps on a 192-bit bus, offering 432 GB/s of raw memory bandwidth. Despite the scaled-down specifications, the RX 9070 GRE retains a TDP of 220W, similar to the standard Radeon RX 9070. Essentially, the card sits between the RX 9060 XT 16GB and the RX 9070, and AMD claims it delivers 21% higher average performance than the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in 1440p gaming.

In our testing of the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 GRE, we found that the card averages 120 FPS at 1080p and 86.6 FPS at 1440p across our 11-game raster-only test suite. That makes it a solid choice for high-refresh-rate gaming at two of the most popular monitor resolutions, and it offers a comfortable position over the RX 9060 XT 16GB and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.

Unfortunately, the RX 9070 GRE is not entirely impressive at 4K resolution as it struggles to maintain an average of 60 FPS. That said, enabling FSR 4 upscaling and frame generation in supported titles can significantly improve performance. Ray tracing performance remains a weaker area for the RX 9070 GRE. Gamers who prefer enabling RT effects will likely need to enable FSR 4 to offset the performance hit, particularly at higher resolutions.

At its discounted price, the RX 9070 GRE competes directly with Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which currently sells for well over $500. If you are a gamer who prioritizes raw rasterized performance, the RX 9070 GRE is worth considering, especially if you're upgrading from an older GPU such as the RX 6700 XT or RTX 3070.
