Best AFMF 2 Settings for Legion GO

AFMF 2 provides varying Search Mode settings that trade off between smoothness and image quality:

  • Standard Mode (Optimal for 1080p): Favors image quality over frame creation. Less aggressive during scenes with high motion, minimizing possible artifacts.
  • High Mode (Optimal for 1440p+): Prioritizes smoother frame creation but might slightly lower image quality in the case of fast-motion scenes.

AFMF 2 Modes

  • :Quality Mode
    • Delivers the optimal graphics and seamless playback even under fast motion.
    • Ideal for high-resolution displays and high-performance GPUs.
    • Increased GPU requirement but provides better image quality.
  • Performance Mode:
    • Decreases GPU load at the expense of marginally lower frame rate consistency.
      Suitable for lower-end GPUs or where higher FPS is more important than image quality.
      May introduce minor image distortions in fast-paced scenes.

Should You Use AFMF 2 on Legion GO?

AFMF 2 can make gameplay feel a lot smoother, but it can also add input lag. If you’re gaming in fast-paced shooters or competitive titles, try experimenting with different modes to achieve the best balance between performance and responsiveness.

By doing so, you can unleash the full potential of AFMF 2 on your Legion GO and experience smoother, more immersive gaming!
