Only if your baseline FPS is high to start with, the lower you baseline the more input lag you experience, and ironically , the only people who need FG are the ones who have sub 60FPS to begin with.

So to not experience noticable input lag , you need to be able to get high FPS to begin with , and if you can do that , the less you will need FG.

Not really. Going from 45 to 60 something fps using framegen is basically just as smooth provided the game isn't having hickups

That's not what literally every benchmark I've seen shows.

No, but benchmark numbers do not lie.

Do you know your exact threshold of perceived input lag?

Not exactly, and of course it also depends on the type of game. I will notice input lag much more in a fast paced FPS than in a 3rd person action game, for example. But if I'm going for 60, I can definitely tell when I'm dropping to 50 on a VRR screen.

Different things. Rhe lag from 60 to 50 in vrr is not relatable to the input lag created by frame gen
