Nvidia Smooth Motion vs Lossless Scaling 3.0 Frame Gen
Nvidia now has driver level Frame Generation called "smooth motion" which similarly to AMD's AFMF, can apply frame generation to games that don't natively support it. However, I did have some trouble getting it to work in certain games, and it is currently limited to the RTX 50 series GPUs (although DSO gaming reports that Nvidia says they will also bring support to 40 series). So I thought in this video I should compare it against Lossless Scaling, the affordable (but not free) app that can apply frame generation to any game, and offers supports for way more GPUs.
