Frame Generation still broken

[RasAlGul]

Can you please say me why frame generation is not working on my best optimized RIG?
I7 14700K / RTX 4070Ti Super / DDR 5 7000 / M2 SSD.
I saw videos on youtube where it runs flawless but the game instantly freezes when activated.
What may be the difference between those RIGs?

Could you post the content of your TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML (just open it with notepad and copy&paste it)
That file is in \steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\Settings

[Mr. Bufferlow]

Your rig is pretty close to mine and I am having no issues. Just open up Nvidia GForce Experience, let it optimize your game settings and run with that. I have had trouble with that feature in the past, but seems to work pretty well in most situations now.

Hi sorry for the late answer:
These are my settings, i dont use NV Experience. I use the Nvidia Inspector for changes manually since years.

Nvidia Inspector or Nvidia Profile Inspector? I had a problem with another game recently, Satisfactory, also with Frame Generation and even DLSS not working, and I suspected it was because I used Nvidia Profile Inspector to tweak some game profile settings. I used it for years too but it has not been updated in over a year (March 2023 to be exact) and NVIDIA drivers have changed quite a lot in a year, and it seems abandoned as the dev isn't responding to anything on Github.

I've done a clean driver reinstall and never used Nvidia Profile Inspector again and DLSS and Frame Generation work since then. I have no proof as I didn't care to dig deeper into this, just a suspicion, it could be just a coincidence, by perhaps it's worth looking into it.

BTW, I have a 13900K and RTX4080 (566.03), Windows 11 and FG works for me in NMS.

[RasAlGul]

Nvidia Profile Inspector but in Starfield no problem exists.
Also when low latency mode is on i get only 75 fps.
I play with DLAA and solid 110fps also in my big base.

Can you pls share your Nvidia Profile Inspector settings.
Maybe this is a problem at my side.

[Zak]

But I don't use Nvidia Profile Inspector any more. When I had issues with Satisfactory, DLSS and FG worked in Cyberpunk, so this was not a global issue, just that one game. I didn't have NMS installed at the time, so I can't correlate.

Just saying that maybe Nvidia Profile Inspector messed up the NMS profile? You can try resetting the NMS profile, though that didn't work for with Satisfactory. I had to do a clean reinstall of NVIDIA driver and then all was good, but I have not used Nvidia Profile Inspector ever since.

[RasAlGul]

I did it and with negative result. I tried every setting and for 6 seconds i got it to work.
So ridiculous. My Rig is not able to get FG to work on NMS....
Ok it is how it is and i am lucky to have 110fps in all scenarios lol.

It works fine on my 4090/7800x3d build. If it's failing, this points likely to a driver issue. I'd recommend trying a reset of the NMS Nvidia Profile from Nvidia control panel (not NvInspector) first, and if that fails, you'll want to do a clean install of Nvidia drivers which will reset all game settings. Also make sure that you're running the latest version of Windows 11 and DX12 drivers, as these are needed for DLSS3 to work correctly in all games.

If you're still running on Windows 10, note that the latest GPU/API feature such as RTX and frame gen are not always fully supported on Win10, as a lot of the newer features have been locked behind 11. If that's the case, I'd highly recommend you upgrade to 11 -- I had a ton of weird, similar issues getting RTX and frame gen working while I was still on Win10, and haven't had a single issue since migrating to Win11 across a wide array of games.

For me DLSS Framegen is stuck at monitor refresh of 60hz. Using 566.45 drivers and Win 11 24H2. I have no idea why but in Control panel i must force Vsync OFF then it will work. But it just doesn't work well and never has. So not worth using until or unless they do something about it.

Some areas negligible with 10fps improvement some like at my settlement a lot better. But Framegen Off gpu use is low. With it on gpu use goes up so it better get more fps.

Or as below DLSS Framegen On was a loss in fps.
