I saw a meme about something of fake frames, but i don’t know what happened.
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.
What’s the point of having it in 4K if it’s slathered to hell and back with vaseline?
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
To add on to this, the 5000 series now generates 3 fake frames per real frame instead of just 1.
Is “fake” being used as a pejorative here?
I was just using the term that the previous commenter used to keep terms consistent.
Yeah not sure if there’s a better word to use without coming across as pedantic.
Fake certainly implies these are worse (which they of course are), but I’m not sure if they’re that much worse. I think in many scenarios the proverbial juice would absolutely be worth the squeeze, but naysayers seem to disagree with that sentiment.
