FSR 3 Frame Generation Performance

On this page, we are going to evaluate the smoothness advantage that FSR 3 Frame Generation adds to the games that support it. *Note* that while we are reporting the average FPS (Frames Per Second) on the graph, to represent the advantage, this is not really indicative of what Frame Generation does, as it does not contribute to the input of the game, it doesn’t factor into actual performance, but rather motion smoothness. It’s not a performance booster, it’s a smoothness booster. Please keep this in mind as you read the graphed results.
