Graphics technology
What is frame generation?
Frame generation creates additional displayed frames between conventionally rendered frames using a supported graphics feature.
QUICK EXPLANATION
Distinguish displayed FPS from rendered FPS
Generated frames can make motion appear smoother, but a higher displayed frame counter does not mean the game simulation or input response is running at that rate.
Frame generation may add latency or visual artifacts; results and mitigation features vary by game and system.
Result: Some overlays distinguish rendered FPS from generated or displayed FPS; others may not.
How to check it
Check the game's feature notes and use a supported latency measurement where available. Try it only if the image and control response suit the game.
Check: Compare responsiveness and visual artifacts in a repeatable scene, not only the displayed FPS number.
