frame gen adds insane input lag???

[chlorine]

im playing w framegen off + motion blur on @ 50fps bc frame gen deadass feels awful to aim with.

ryzen 7 5800x
rtx 3060ti 8gb

Yes, frame generation technologies like DLSS 3 and FSR 3.0 can introduce additional input lag. This is because these technologies generate additional frames between the ones rendered by your GPU. While this can significantly improve visual smoothness, it can also lead to increased latency, which can be noticeable in fast-paced games.

However, there are ways to mitigate this input lag:

NVIDIA Reflex: This technology can help reduce system latency, which can help offset the additional lag introduced by frame generation.

Optimal Settings: Experiment with different frame generation settings to find the best balance between performance and input responsiveness.
Monitor Choice: Using a high-refresh-rate monitor can help minimize the perceived impact of input lag.

It's important to note that the impact of frame generation on input lag can vary depending on the specific game, hardware, and software configuration. Some users may be more sensitive to input lag than others.

If you're experiencing significant input lag with frame generation enabled, you might want to consider disabling it or adjusting your settings to find a suitable compromise between performance and responsiveness.

FG generally cause input lag but not this much for sure because it's broken atm.
This mod makes it almost playable:

yes turn it off. i have a new dlss file which ive just got and testing that as we speak.

input lag is standard with frame gen. never use it unless your base fps are above 60.
if you only get 30 fps then use fg and then you get 60 youll get input lag of 30.
im using it as it grabs me 120 fps so input lag is fine.

Odd, the latency either tech adds is very minimal, dlss3.5 frame gen is a better than fsr, but it's still so minimal it's surprising if someone can tell in a blind test.

On my 4090, nvidias frame gen latency is inpercievable tbh.
On my 3050 8GB on my htpc using dlss quality with fsr for frame gen, I didn't test it much, but, I couldn't really tell there was any notable increase in input lag.

Just how bad are you seeing it be?

ye nividia low latency mode is a must, if your screen has a low latency mode aswell, thats a god send.

[GodMan]

it is what it is

im getting about 50fps without fg and 80-90fps with it but theres like a 0.2s mouse delay which makes aiming a pain

On my 4080 with framegen at 90-110 fps it feels much worse than without Framegen at roughly 60 fps.

yeah it cuts by 50% roughly. so to feel 60 fps you need really 120 after fg

I set everything to low and now im floating at 60fps without fg and 110 with

that will make the input lag okay ish

That is not how nvidias frame gen works...

DLSS framegen is not broken in this game.

If you are on a 4090 or lower tier card with moderate settings, you're fine.

If you are enabling framegen and netting 70-90fps, framegen is hurting you more than helping.

If your total FPS with framegen on can stay above roughly 100-150+ fps you won't feel any sort of terrible input lag.

NVIDIA Reflex auto turns on if using FrameGen in a video game that supports both features.
You need the latest nvidia drivers to get the support for both in stalker 2.

If you turn framegen on in stalker 2, you'll see reflex grayed out, but its actually turned on.

The game needs to natively support both reflex and framegen for it to work though, as you're using an RTX card, it should be working just fine, if you're still getting latency issues, its more than likely caused by other things, such as g-sync or something? *shrugs i don't use or have g-sync.

I personally use both framegen and reflex, as im using a 4060, and there is no increase to my latency.
