Oh, my, my Nvidia!

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.

But that's a problem they could have easily solved. The pure performance of the 4090 is so high that it's able to roughly deliver 3090Ti+DLSS performance natively, something that many users will appreciatte it, even more so when you add the DLSS extra to the 4090, making it capable of delivering stupidly high fps at 4K... which some users won't be able to appreciate because Nvidia decided to skimp a few bucks and not include DisplayPort 2.0.

Also, if they added this feature to the 3000 series, that could persuade customers to not wait for the launch of the rest of Ada's lineup and get an Ampere card, solving Nvidia's other problem along the way.
