AFMF for Legion Go: A Request to the Bens and Lenovo Engineers

With the advent of AFMF by AMD it brings some interesting factors for increasing the FPS at the driver level instead of FSR needing to be implemented at the game level by the game developer. To put it simply, AFMF adds frame generation technology to boost FPS outside of the game's engineOften the results double the FPS of the game because it works at the driver level instead of the game/software level.

Here you can find the requirements to use AFMF as well as the results of usage in today's popular games 

Currently usage of AFMF is near impossible on the Legion Go versus the ROG Ally and additional competing AMD APU handhelds because of the following reasons:

  1. Usage of the AMD Adrenaline driver
  2. Hardware Display Orientation

Apparently, in addition to the need to use the AMD Adrenaline driver and the need to change the Legion Go display orientation from Portrait to Landscape flipped, AFMF will not function on the Legion Go see this video 

 Yet, if a Legion Go user is willing to connect an external display, AFMF will work.

My humble request is for Lenovo Legion Go engineers to work with AMD to either implement AFMF into the Legion Go display drivers or work with AMD to enable Legion Go customers to install the AMD drivers AND allowing AFMF to work regardless of display orientation. Without either, it would make the Legion Go inferior to competitive devices in terms of gaming performance, therefore rendering (no pun intended) market share to Asus, AyaNeo, GPD, OneX, and others as they enter the market with AMD Z1 and AMD Z1 Extreme PC Gaming Handhelds.

Is this something Lenovo should/would consider?
