I saw a meme about something of fake frames, but i don’t know what happened.

    Fake frames is “frame generation” for Nvidia it’s called DLLS.

    Rather than having the graphics card create 120 frames, you can crank the settings up to where you only get 60, then AI “guesses” what the next frame would show doubling it to 120 but keeping the higher settings.

    This can make things blurry because the AI may guess wrong. So every odd frame is real, every even frame is just a guess.

    Frame 1: real

    Frame 2: guess

    Frame 3: real

    If the guess for #2 is accurate, everything is cool, if #2 guessed a target moves left when it moved right then #3 corrects and that “blink” is the problem.

    The bigger issue is developers relying on that tech so they don’t have to optimize code. So rather than DLSS being an extra ompf, it’s going to be required for “acceptable” performance

    A saw a graphic the other day that was comparing the number of frames generated between the 4x and 5x, and people in the comments were saying that the 5x uses AI frame generation to speed things up

    People in the know would know that AI is largely hype, and the generated frames probably don’t look as good as if they had been properly rendered

      Yeah, but if you have a high refresh rate monitor and you want 4k plus 240 hz then you probably need this.
