Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Yeah, turn based CRPGs is the only time I turn that stuff on.
But there seems to be two types of frame generation:
A real frame is generated, then it guesses, then real frame is generated.
Two real frames are generated, then they “fill in the gaps” with fake frames.
For 1 it doesn’t create lag, but it may guess wrong then have to correct on the next real frame.
For 2 the fake frames are going to be correct, but a lot of latency is added.
Neither is an issue for CRPG, but can be a huge issue in shooters, fighting games, and PvE like Dark Souls.
The problem is manufactures are now counting all the fake frames in their stats while ignoring every issue that pops up from that.
The way DLSS3 and 3.5 work (though not DLSS4 it seems) is they always guess a previous frame, never a next frame. They always rely on an authentic frame and guess an intermediate frame between prior to it, because they need to know the end state and interpolate backwards from it.
This is described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning_super_sampling#DLSS_3.0
I’m not sure how AMDs frame gen works, is it different?
