Quantum Amiga Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) Hi Folks, Just in case anyone has missed the discussion around Frame Generation for practically all modern GFX cards. For the uninitiated there's a utility available from Steam that performs this function making for pretty smooth vsync'd simming by literally trippling your frame rate. Yes ... sounds like snake oil ... that said this particular snake oil does do what it says it will do and out of all the various software based frame rate improvements over the years, this one is literally like a new GPU. https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/ Whilst it's not all peaches and cream it's very close. Some discussion threads over at AVSIM https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/645554-jumped-on-the-frame-generation-bandwagon/ https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/645513-a-miracle-lsfg-lossless-scaling-frame-generation Cheers Edited June 17 by Quantum Amiga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 It's always the same. The placebo effect makes everyone ooh and aaah but it's only making it look like fps has gone up, in reality it's still the same CPU bound coding and apparent fps gains are just copied inserted frames. But what would I know I've only been seeing this for over 30 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 2 hours ago, John Dow said: The placebo effect In fact, there are a couple of ways to multiply the apparent frame rate that do exactly what it says on the tin. I have tried one and discarded it because of the artifacts, though it does indeed double the frame rate. The fact that it does this by inserting frames between frames does not mean that it is some kind of trick that does nothing. In fact the only way to increase the frames per second rate is indeed to insert more frames into each second. Looking at the reviews of both, no one suggests that they do not work, only that there are unwanted artifacts in some cases. I understand both "snake oil" and the "placebo effect" to be perceptions that something works when in fact it does nothing. In this case the previous mod and this app seem to do exactly what they promise but with drawbacks that are acceptable, or not, to those who choose to use them.

craigeaglefire Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 & frame generation does not work in VR, still using the AutoFPS mod - helps a bit on my system… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
