the problem imo is that it's advertised absolutely incorrectly. they make it sound like the tech makes the game run faster. it doesn't. it leverages the free resources due to the cpu bottleneck in order to interpolate frames, like those 2010's tvs with their "9000hz motion" interpolation. it's okay for smoothing out jerky frame movement in solo third person rpgs and stuff like that, but absolutely disgusting and unusable for first person shooters. yet, following the gaming subs on reddit, people are gushing over it like it's free real performance increases out of thin air.
That's because frame gen Technology is actually pretty good right now. Even the folks at digital Foundry have had good things to say
i dont disagree with it being in a decent state. i'm just annoyed by the marketting around it, which is deceiving, if not flatout lies.
Games do "run faster" and the perceived smoothness and actual framerate are increased.
Not sure where the deceit or flat out lies are coming from.
No, the games runs at the same rate or slightly slower. The driver adds extra frames which the game knows nothing about.
And what's the end result? Game is perceived to run faster....
The animation is smoother but actions have a longer response time. Depending on the game that could be negative to your perception of "speed".
