I feel like we should start opening threads about 2020 and 2024 in certain aspects for nvidia drivers. I see games all the time getting small fixes on these drivers im sure we could use the same
With my settings and Smooth Motion, I now have good FPS without frame generation. ( RTX 4060ti 8GB ) When I turn on FG, I get a red flickering image. But with the FPS (around 60 to 80), I don’t need it anymore.
I’m experiencing the same using TAA, and Nvidia Super Resolution. DLAA is ok but FPS takes a hit when using it. I have more testing to do before I can decide what settings I like best.
If folks are finding Smooth Motion a solution, perhaps someone might start a new thread for it, as the discussion will very likely span multiple driver releases?
Basically, Smooth Motion is like Frame Generation… except that Smooth Motion generates frames on the driver side. comparable to FSR on AMD..Frame Generation must be supported by a game…
A way around this that may help is to edit the usercfg.opt file and edit the line where it says “Frame Limiter” to whatever frame rate cap you want, in real frames. For instance, if you want to cap at 40 real frames, cap at 40 and smooth motion will still take it to 80 frames in game. That might help keep things smooth while having smooth motion enabled.
In SU3 beta the frame rate cap setting is in the sim and we won’t have to dig around in the usercfg.opt file to enable it.
I think it’s app/driver wide, not game dependent - that was the point of doing this all on the driver side where you don’t have to wait for developers to better your gaming situation. YMMV of course.
