Frame generation has been great in my experience (with DLSS 3) At base framerates above around 40-50 it feels like free fps

My issue is more with the math of it. Since it requires holding your frames until you've got one in reserve (can't generate an in-between until you know what's next), it fundamentally makes the game less responsive.

That said, if you understand that, and like the visual smoothness of motion with more frames, then it's super cool tech. Not every game has to be treated like it's competitive Counter Strike, and I think it's really cool if you like it, but it frustrates me how poorly marketed and understood the actual technology and its compromises are.
