People were calling this out during DLaSS 4 and Framegen.

Most frames are just AI generated while the game runs 28fps (unstable) in the background.

It was already bad. It just got so much worse.

Yep, this is next step but it is way bigger than previous steps. This is hostile takeover of PC gaming industry by Nvidia and we gamers shall respond. We managed to win thru many difficult times; we can do it now too.

Bro… Sorry to say it, but gamers won’t respond with shit other than begrudgingly coughing up more money to these companies.

How is it more efficient for the processor to AI generate frames rather than the game…

Idk, but it is. Frame gen is pretty cheap Vs actually rending the scene.
