> ultimately dlss/frame gen is a hack that no one on a high end card would ever use. The irony of those technologies is that they shine best on high end cards. If you're on a low end card and say pushing the limit of a game and are upscaling 720p to 1080p, then dlss can't do miracles, there will be tons of defects due how little information about the scene the upscaler has. But if you're on a high end system trying to upscale 1440p to 4k then even not only is the upscaler less likely to make a mistake, it's also much less noticeable. Same with framegen, on a low end system that's getting sub 60fps, the framegen not only adds noticeable input lag, but often makes noticeable defective frames in between, if your system was already pushing above 60 then not only is the input lag much more bearable, the possible defective frames stay on screen for so little that you'd have to be paying attention to it to notice them most of the time. They're still useful for low end systems, they can prolong their lifespan quite a bit for current gen games, but as this tech becomes the norm, developers rely on them to hit performance targets and your card will be outdated just as fast as older cards used to.
