After months of underwhelming experiences with frame generation on my RTX 4090, I discovered that its effectiveness relies on a solid performance baseline. By optimizing settings like enabling upscaling and reducing ray tracing, I learned to use frame generation as a motion smoother rather than an FPS booster, enhancing my gaming experience in single-player titles.
- 01Frame generation should not be used as a crutch; it requires a solid performance foundation to be effective.
- 02The perceived smoothness of frame generation does not equate to actual responsiveness, which remains tied to the base frame rate.
- 03Enabling upscaling and adjusting graphics settings can significantly improve base performance before using frame generation.
- 04Frame generation is more suitable for single-player games where immersion is prioritized over responsiveness.
- 05Competitive games typically do not support frame generation due to the importance of input latency.

Using an RTX 4090, I initially found frame generation disappointing, feeling that the experience didn't match the impressive FPS numbers. After testing it with games like *Assassin's Creed: Shadows* and *Black Myth: Wukong*, I realized that frame generation needs a strong performance baseline to be effective. Instead of viewing it as a mere FPS booster, I learned to see it as a motion smoother. By enabling upscaling and adjusting graphics settings, I improved my base performance, allowing frame generation to enhance my gaming experience, especially in slower, single-player titles. However, I still avoid using it in competitive games like *Battlefield 6* and *Call of Duty: Warzone*, where responsiveness is crucial. Ultimately, understanding the distinction between perceived smoothness and actual responsiveness transformed my approach to frame generation, making it a valuable tool rather than a flawed feature.
