NVIDIA App update packs DLSS 4 and support for 75 games and apps, alongside a new feature: Smooth Motion driver-level frame gen, similar to AFMF from AMD.
I have a 30 series card and my experience is DLSS now is better than when it first came out. Original DLSS was pretty bad, it made things noticeably blurry. Current DLSS I’m fine with keeping on “Quality” or maybe even “Balanced” settings.
I’ve tried FSR but DLSS seems to be much better quality for similar performance.
I only have found one game that has FSR frame gen in it to try (Marvel Rivals specifically) but something went horribly wrong because it added a lot of latency and framerate instability. Tbh Marvel Rivals is probably not the kind of game you want to be using frame gen with anyway.
Nvidia is rent seeking and I don’t want to pay them rent.
There seems to be this attitude like you are supposed to upgrade your GPU every year. I don’t intend to upgrade my GPU until it either breaks or really can’t keep up with modern games. Neither is happening any time soon.

Precisely. NVIDIA tries its best to always give you less for more. The latest is selling a xx70 class card for 1160€ and calling it 5080.
As for frame gen, I’m not a framegen fan, its use case is not me or anyone else in the sub 1000€ price point. It’s useful when you’re CPU limited and want to play, single player games, at the max refresh rate of your shiny new 540Hz monitor.
For everyone else, like 3060 owners like myself, DLSS works well if you are playing a dear marketing game like cyberpunk. Use it on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and it’s a blurry mess at anything below 1080p input res (XeSS works best here for me, and more ppl, better than DLSS).
Frame gen (even just 2x) doesn’t solve the problem that the overwhelming majority of people have, which is playing the latest games at the best possible visual quality with acceptable frame rates. I didn’t invest on a PC to play The Witcher 3 (DLSS broken on older gen cards,) with PS4 levels of latency!? Plus DLSS, as of late has TERRIBLE frame pacing in most games. Perhaps it’s the limited framebuffer!?
That doesn’t change the fact that games are horribly optimised nowadays. God Of War ran on a PS4 but I need a power plant to run STALKER or Alan Wake at 60fps without it looking like a disco party with all the shimmering. Thx NVIDIA
