We’ve done a lot of testing on DLSS4 and FSR 4 (and 3.1) to inspect image quality frame-by-fake-frame in addition to upscaling image quality. At times, these technologies serve their purposes well; DLSS in particular has gotten a lot better with its transformer model and FSR has substantially improved with version 4. We have a lot of criticisms of the fake frame technologies – especially benchmarking them on normal charts – but they do have a place in some situations. Now, we’re looking at Lossless Scaling and Lossless Frame Generation (sometimes called Lossless Scaling Frame Generation, or LSFG). This tool is highly versatile and does more than just upscaling for select games (and frame generation), but we’re really only focusing on those two core use cases today. It’s not as good as the tools built by multi-trillion dollar companies, but for something basically independently built and sold on Steam (and for $7), it’s not a big loss to try.

    Fake frames, as opposed to the real life pictures other frames are…

    You remind me of people how kept posting that the human eye can’t see frames past 30. Where are they now lol

    Mark my words: you will use frame generation someday and you will not come back. Maybe from a future nvidia feature (eg DLSS), maybe from a monitor, in VR (been a thing for a while but it’s not good yet). You will like it.

      Yes, as opposed to real life rendered images other frames other.

      And you don’t need more than 30 fps if it’s not some fast paced game. And you don’t need more than 60 fps if its not a twitch shooter. And frame generation is just… Sub-par in every way imaginable. It’s only useful if to get some semblance of frame stability if your hardware isn’t up to snuff.

      And that’s the only thing that matters; a well rendered stable framerate.

      People like you are the reason why corporate entities are trying to push for all this ugly shit into newer games and GPUs.
