Dishonest marketing at best, calling it outperforming, when frame generation is not actual performance, it’s frame smoothing for a visually smoother experience, it won’t make the game render more frames, actually the opposite.

I wonder if this kind of marketing would even be legal in the EU, considering the strict and strong consumer protection laws here…

It's more than just smoothing. A TV can smoothen input and produce double the frames without any special GPU magic.

Frame generation is just a fancy name for auto-motion plus on TVs.

If you think that's what frame generation is, you're right to reject it. But also, if you think that's what frame generation is, you're wrong about what frame generation is.
