    Frame generation objectively reduces motion blur and frame consistency.

    Neural network-based upscaling is a far better alternative. Previously, in the time of the dinosaurs, we’d get better frame rate by turning the resolution down and letting the monitor handle upscaling. This looked bad but higher frame rate often is more important for image quality than resolution. Now we get the same performance boost with much less loss of visual clarity, and some antialiasing for free on top of it.

    Upscaling and frame generation are good technologies. People are upset at the marketing of graphics cards which abuse these technologies to announce impressive FPS numbers when the hardware isn’t as big of an upgrade as implied.

    Marketing departments lying about their products isn’t new, but for some people this is the first time that they’ve noticed it affecting them. Instead of getting mad at companies for lying, they’re ignorantly attacking the technologies themselves.
