| Captain_Yuri said: I think the main issue is gonna be input latency which is why Nvidia didn't put it on pre-4000. 4090 already is very close to having input latency of Native in some games. Doing frame generation on Ampere let alone Turing might make the input latency too unbearable. 80fps frames with 15fps like input latency. |
Yeah thats true. Could be buggy and sub-optimal rn with current drivers. And it may be hardware limitation.
Still not convinced that it couldn't be done (well) on previous cards with some work but we're going to have to take Nvidia's word for it.

I don't know what's more embarrassing, that Nvidia decided to use a software lock to prevbent this from happening (didn't they learn a thing from what happened to their software hash-rate limiter?), or that even a 2070 card, a card from two gens ago, can make use of it. It's ridiculous. |
It isn't the first time they locked it down feature sets to new products to make them more enticing for customers. Maybe would've been better to allow Frame Generation available for all RTX users and see if its worth the hassle/trade offs. But then.. they'd have a harder time getting people to upgrade from previous gen cards.
