There's nothing I want less than multi-frame generation. I guess some people want to feel like they're getting their money's worth from their 240 Hz monitors.
boyter•13m ago
If you have a high frame rate to start with it’s pretty nice and feels smoother. But a low frame rate turned into a high one looks good but feels laggy.

So arguably you never need frame gen for a game, since it only really works when it’s already pretty nice.
