Dubbed Variable Graphics Memory (VGM). This feature enables users to convert a substantial portion of their system memory into dedicated VRAM with a click in the Adrenalin desktop application.

Currently exclusive to AMD AI 300 "Strix Point" laptops, this feature allows for dynamic memory allocation based on the system's total RAM. Under the "medium" setting, a 32GB laptop equipped with 512MB of video memory can be transformed into a 24GB system with 8GB of dedicated VRAM.

According to Verge, the practical benefits of this additional video memory vary depending on the game.

Titles such as Alan Wake II, which demand up to 6GB of VRAM, may experience significant performance improvements, while others might see more modest gains.

AMD claims that if your laptop can already manage 39fps in, say, Horizon Zero Dawn, you can now play it at a (theoretically) smooth 66fps on a 2880 x 1800 laptop screen if you combine AFMF2, VGM, and AMD’s FSR upscaling tech.

AMD is rolling out Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) for Strix Point laptops, promising enhanced frame rates with reduced jitter and lag. This technology generates additional frames and can significantly boost performance when combined with VGM, provided the base frame rate is at least 50fps.
