Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement

  I’m pretty sure its 1 real frame every X frames so 6x would be 1 real, 5 generated.

    This is how I understand it too. It is 6x frame generation means 6 times the amount it had before. If it had 10 frames before, then 6x means 60 frames in total, which are 50 of them fake frames. Note to anyone reading this: Frame Generation is also adding lag. So anyone saying Frame Generation is increasing performance just because the numbers go higher, did not understand what it is. In fact Frame Generation is decreasing performance.

    Now imagine you use DLSS and RayTracing, and to feel good you add Frame Generation. What an abomination is this?

      A marketer’s dream (but garbage to everyone else).

      What the hell is even the point of that? (Other than to sell graphics cards…)

      Frame generation is for when you can play at native 60 FPS but want more. More native frames don’t give you less noticeable input lag. But more (fake) frames still feel smoother. That’s the sweet spot for frame gen: playing at 120 FPS when your card can only do a little more than 60 FPS native (some native frames are sacrificed to the AI gods to get the fake frames to interleave with the real ones).
      The advertising is ridiculous though.
