Anyone else have basically 0 interest in frame generation tech atm?
Same. From what I've been lead to believe, frame generation doesn't actually really do anything except make things look smoother. When it comes to actual responsiveness, frame generation doesn't help with that or can even make it worse. As such, it seems pointless unless you're wanting to record demos to videos, but how many games support demos nowadays?
Helped my single player games look better, which is nice. I only play older FPS games and don't need it there.
Yea I suppose extending the life of old cards is a pretty valid use case for AMD cards
Less so for Nvidia atm since it's exclusively 4000 series cards getting it anyway haha
FSR 1 and 2 can run in any card AMD, NVIDIA or Intel. It is possible to use it in a GTX 1660 for example. And FSR 3 will run in any card to. Which is great.
That's not frame generation, that's upscaling. Frame generation is when you make entirely new frames from old ones. No console has frame generation support as of today, and only 40 series cards on PC.
If it can help me maintain a more stable FPS that would be a boon. If I'm playing a game with unstable frame rates with a lot of stuttering I usually get a headache after one hour. So if frame gen can help my PC run games at a more stable frame rate, then I'm all for it. The first gen implementation of it may be shitty. But after a couple of generations it can be good.
Look at where DLSS is now, DLSS is objectively shit but since DLSS 2 in some cases it can improve image quality. I game on a 1080p 380hz screen, and when I'm playing games with upscaling like DLSS or FSR, I'll run the game at 4k and then run the upscaler on performance mode which is basically rendering the game at 1080p. The results are much better than just running native 1080p.
Everyone going crazy over FPS numbers and doesn't care about the downside that the tech is basically making up frames and adding latency.
Show me the real game with minimal filters.
