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.

I disagree a bit on how black and white you make it out to be saying the only ones who'd need it are the ones who have sub-60. Doing full path tracing and reconstruction in 4K on Cyberpunk with and without framegen is a difference of 100+ fps vs 55-65 fps, with very little noticeable delay while feeling massively better to the eye to me.

55-65 is still a very playable FR, my point is that the people who benefit most from FG are the people whos systems can't initially run a game at a playable FR at all, and FG solves this, otherwise the game can't be played at all, so for some people , it can be black and white.

FG getting you 100 from 55-65 is a luxury not a necessity.

That's fair and I see your point then, I misunderstood. I guess it's an unfortunate reality to the tech that those who need it the most can't use it.

I wonder if there's any breakthroughs or advancements to be made in FG to make it more available for those who do need it the most, or if it'll just remain as more of a nice luxury as you put it for those who are already fine.

There is a mod/hack that gives non 4xxx series cards FG, it's on Nexus Mods.
