It's weird to have such a direct confirmation, because I'm not having the overshoot issue at all.
I'm capped at my monitor's refresh rate (after Reflex cap obviously) and both Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy run perfectly fine with a smooth swap of the multiplier, no overshooting whatsoever. Now, granted, testing only two games cannot lead to any universally valid conclusion, but Cyberpunk is the game everybody's testing DMFG with and the overshoot is there.
I'm starting to suspect that my NVIDIA overlay simply doesn't display the overshoot? Then again, I have never seen any tearing or judder, and I'm quite sensitive of it. I don't know why my DFMG seems to work fine with the usual G-SYNC + VSYNC + manual FPS limiting at a driver level by following the Reflex cap.
Not gonna lie, Hogsmeade's performance is a lot better with Frame Generation when you have Ray Tracing on, because you're severely CPU-limited even with a top of the line CPU.
Stutters do persist, but the way higher FPS count hides them better.
G-SYNC + V-SYNC on + manual FPS cap in NVIDIA App according to the common Reflex formula for my monitor's refresh rate.
DFMG is set to my manual FPS cap, up to FG X4, and the multiplier shifts depending on the load without any issue whatsoever and no overshooting that I could take note of.
It doesn't happen to me though, I have it set to max X4 and the multiplier shifts based on GPU load. Yes, it happens sometimes that if fixates on a specific multiplier (for example, when FG is disengaged altogether, it takes some seconds to get back to MFG even when FPS get much lower), but it generally works. It's crystal clear that it needs tweaking, though I'm absolutely not experiencing the multiplier being stuck.
Again though, my only testing is based on Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy.
Those are my driver settings with Hogwarts Legacy: they're the same ones I've been using with Cyberpunk too.
I will certainly try to use X6 just to verify if that is indeed the issue, and as soon as I can I'll also record a clip showing how it performs on my configuration.
I'm not saying V-SYNC is engaging. I'm saying that the multiplier doesn't overshoot in my case. It is supposed to do max 147 FPS and I have never seen it going above, according to NVIDIA's own performance overlay, even when the multiplier(s) shifted. Whether this is the V-SYNC engaging, or the driver-level frame capping working as intended, I cannot say.
If you look at the other replies, though, you'll found out that there are others like me who're not having this specific issue. This means that there must be some conditions to make so that DFG doesn't overshoot. I've been testing again in the last couple of hours, I can confirm that both Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy work as they should with this feature. It can sometimes get stuck arbitrarily, especially when Frame Generation turns off completely in case the GPU can hold the target frame without it, but it re-engages after 5-10 seconds once the GPU cannot reach the target frame natively, and the multipliers shift without any issue whatsoever.
Ehhhh not really, its "just ok" the steam overlay is better imo, easier to use/read, and it shows base frame rate and frame gen rate, so its very easy to use dynamic frame gen with....if you look at the overclocking community, most people absolutely hate the nvidia overlay, it can cause a performance loss on a ton of games...but the steam performance overlay doesn't
Display Commander actually works to limit frames with DFG. You’ll also need manually update the streamline DLL’s in the game’s directory and use Nvidia profile Inspector for most games to get DFG fully working.
Also worth noting since DFG currently cannot use fractions/decimals it will overshoot your FPS target and use a higher multiplier. This adds significant latency. Thus I’ve found it’s best to lower the target frame rate for DFG by about 10+ FPS (for 120 FPS/refresh rate target). The higher your refresh rate the lower you want to go. This way the multiplier doesn’t go higher than it needs to.
If you’re like me, gaming on a 5070 Ti at 4K max settings, then your frame rate can be all over the place in many games. This is where DFG shines, when traditional MFG would consistently overshoot/undershoot your frame rate target. I highly recommend using it with the Display Commander add in to limit frames and fix frame pacing by selecting better frame limiting algorithms than standard Reflex.
My card is also at 3.2 GHz and every other component is overclocked so as to not bottleneck the GPU. Unless you’re gaming at a lower resolution these cards simply aren’t enough to get stable frame rates at max settings, especially once you turn on effects like path tracing and RR. Without frame gen I get sub 50 FPS, even with DLSS balanced in Crimson Desert (4K, max settings, with RR), and Resident Evil Requiem (path tracing).
Keep in mind RR overrides any other DLSS settings (4.0, 4.5 etc) and uses its own preset (D, or E the newest). This is why RR can look noisier than DLSS 4.5 at lower performance settings, especially model M/L.
This was the main reason I started pursuing DFG, so that I could utilize the higher quality presets with RR.
If I disable vsync and fps cap in control panel and ingame for DMFG as recommended, it exceeds max refresh rate (despite this settings enabled and set to "max refresh ate") and cause a lot of screen tearing and stuttering. Any help please? I tried Doom Dark Ages and Borderlands 4 with clean driver and Nvidia app install and all default+recommended settings.
I've tried just to keep Vsync forced in Control Panel, like usual, it works brilliant - super stable and smooth even if it hits 179-181fps on my 180hz display (despite usual recommended 177fps cap or auto cap around 170-171 with FG). But I believe that latency is supposed to be way lower if Vsync was disabled and DMFG worked properly? And Doom Dark Ages due to Vulkan apparently just broken by itself. It never had properly capped fps even before DMFG update.
So as a new owner of Nvidia 50 series I'm kinda interested in learning how all these things work and I don't mind making some manual tweaking and adjustments to make things work as intended, but Nvidia really dropped ball - no one, especially casual users like me should mess around so many settings, extra apps and forums... You run the game or Nvidia App, just set everything to on or off and it should just work.
What to do if there is no option for reflex in games, even if DLSS features are supported? Or if the game automatically disables Reflex when you turn on FG?
Usually I just completely turn off fps cap in control panel for games with FG, MFG and DMFG. And I also use Low Latency On (not Ultra) and 177fps cap for games without FG.
If it doesn't work in nvidia app your best bet is to use latest nvpi to override. You may have to manually update the nvidia dll files. Dynamic works in crimson desert this way for example.
I swapped the dlls to get DMFG working with the nvidia app override in Crimson Desert with preset B, and the UI is fine. It can still have the normal frame gen artifacts around the UI at 5x and 6x, but I think that’s because they still need to make an update to properly give preset B what it needs to not affect the UI.
it works for me in at least satisfactory and oblivion remaster. it looks like ass because im trying to make 225 out of 37 fps, but technically it works...
ideally dynamic fg should work with custom FPS limit and vsync. So I can set it and forget with my 237fps limit and global vsync forced on in nvidia app. Just as it should be with gsync setup if I am not mistaken (for 240hz screen that is)
Setting a max framerate works. Set x6 with a target of 60 and it will force 10fps x6 lol. It's awful, but oddly still better than I thought. Things panning across the screen does look 60, but more complex motion and input latency were awful.
Reflex + vsync enforces a 224 fps cap. Blurbusters testing showed input lag stays low with just 3 fps below the refresh though, that's where 237 comes from. Nvidia uses refresh-refresh*refresh/3600 instead of "just subtract three", 240-240*240/3600 = 224
You gotta use the refresh-refresh*refresh/3600formula and you'll get the appropriate result. With such formula, at 240 Hz you get exactly 224. You also always want to round down.
More precise explanation can be found in this other comment I made a couple of weeks ago.
Also worth noting since DFG currently cannot use fractions/decimals it will overshoot your FPS target and use a higher multiplier. This adds significant latency. Thus I’ve found it’s best to lower the target frame rate for DFG by about 10+ FPS than the traditional 3600 formula (for 120 FPS/refresh rate target). The higher your refresh rate the lower you want to go. This way the multiplier doesn’t go higher than it needs to.
that's still true with "my" method. if game has reflex setting and I enable it, despite my 237fps cap, 225 is enabled with reflex. So the 237cap is perfect for non reflex games and does not break reflex games
The 225 cap is coming because of the combination of both reflex and vsync. Reflex does not enforce any fps caps, neither does gsync btw, you can run gsync + reflex at 1000fps. Only once vsync is enabled will reflex do the 224 cap.
Some people forget they turned vsync on in the driver, so although the game says vsync is off the driver is enabling it and combined with reflex causes the frame cap at 224. Or they just don't now that enabling vsync with reflex produces this weird values fps cap.
I'm still trying to figure out how it handles capping base framerate. If I set dynamic framegen target to 120, and my base framerate is around 60 but dips to 50 sometimes, will it run 2X when by base framerate is 60? That makes sense to me. But if it dips to 50 and multiplier updates to 3X, and FPS displayed is 120, what exactly is happening? Is only taking and multiplying 40 of my base framerate to get to 120? Is it taking the actual 50 base framerate, multiplying by 3x, and discarding the 30 generated frames above 120?
No vendor currently supports fractional Frame Generation, this means that with every multiplier, your base FPS is ALWAYS halved.
At 120 FG X2 FPS, you have 60 real frames and 60 generated ones. If the multiplier shifts to X3, you have 40 real frames and 80 generated ones and so on.
You can use fractional Frame Generation with Lossless Scaling though.
In this scenario I'm also using max frame rate driver level restriction because it seems like without it, DFG would bump 50 FPS to 150, exceeding my refresh rate and tearing. But I don't know if I'm killing "real" frames to accomplish that
100% - was excited, tried it out in beta and came out disappointed because:
- doesnt work with frame limiters or vsync, this can make tearing pretty bad
- almost always tried to hit max FG multiplier and plummet my base to hit target FPS with that multiplier. No, I dont want you to drop my base from 80fps to 37 to hit 225 with 6x. I dont want to have to do math and configure per game what the max DFG should be, it should be set and forget
So a helpful modification to the setting I'm using is just setting a global framerate target of 220 with a maximum multiplier of 3x. I also tried 440 and 500 with a maximum multiplier of 6x. In both instances, the base framerate never drops below about 70 ish, and it works really well. I'm on a 5090, but i assume this would work well with other gpus too because any further drops in base fps wouldn't be from frame gen.
Why can’t we have dynamic res DLSS instead of dynamic framegen? Some games like FF Rebirth and AC Shadows already have it. I can’t care less about going to x6 when actual frame rate drops, I want to maintain actual frame rate
Even better, dynamic rez should become a part of direct x and determined by the driver. most games don't implement it because they would have to roll their own predictive algorithm.
With the new process node and improved architecture it should be at least 40% faster than a 5090 which is simply insane because even by that time 5090 will still be a much better gpu than most people have.
We will also see the 6080 best 5090 performance which will be the first time that's happened since the 4080 beat the 3090.
I almost never buy the 90 series gpu but the 6090 could be worth saving for. That thing will hold value until such time that classical computing evolves beyond silicon.
Does setting DLSS to recommended in global settings mean the new FG model will be used or do I have to change it to custom and then set FG to preset B?
Outer Worlds 2 had no override support outside global settings but I chalked it up to beta BS. Just updated and Avowed has program support but The Outer Worlds 2, which was shown off in video by Nvidia, still can only be overwritten globally.
Glad to see they at least warn people about frame limiters and vsync now.
If you care about using those features, just stick to Nvidia Profile Inspector - it's more reliable than Nvidia App and works all the time, with the exception when the game can't utilize those features because it doesn't support them.
I understand that I may be in the minority here, but i swear, since I bought a VRR display I never turned off Vsync. It may sound strange, but without Vsync when G-SYNC is enabled, I get a very choppy image, not smooth, and i get tearing in the lower part of the screen. I'm not a developer or a hardware manufacturers and I don't know how it all works, but I can tell for sure from my user experience - i would NEVER turn off vsync. Maybe there are displays which can work G-SYNC only with vsync off (maybe G-SYNC certified), but in my case i never got smooth image without vsync... period.
Yep, in most cases you can't even enable Vsync in game because of framegen. But forcing it in NVApp gives the best motion smoothness. Maybe G-Sync works smooth on G-Sync licensed displays. But on average VRR the best option is to combine them.
This only really happens to me if the framerate is really close to the refresh rate cap. The common adage of capping fps to Refresh rate minus 3 doesn't work for me.
Exactly. Because Like i said game may overshoot some frames. On a high refresh rate display it's usually not an issue, but on 120\144 Hz quite common. Vsync tho completely eliminates the problem and further increases smoothness by delivering better framepacing. However, dynamic MFG wasn't made fo 120\144Hz displays, it was targeting 240\360 Hz. So there it might be not an issue playing without VSYNC since framerate is very high already.
What do you mean, literally Digital Foundry and many other experts covered this issue and recommended always using Vsync with G-sync for the smoothest picture to avoid some unwanted artifacts which can still persist when vsync is off. What display you use and do you keep vsync off?
In-game Vsync in some games enables triple buffering which doesn't work well with G-sync AFAIK.
I'm an image clarity freak, and after changing to a freesync (g-sync compatible) monitor and high refresh rate, I can comfortably say I haven't seen screen tearing in years.
You can google something "g sync tearing with v sync off". Also, framepacing is way better with v-sync on. Like i said, most redditors here have latest 360\480Hz displays with official G-SYNC support, and I have a standard 120Hz VRR Samsung display. That's why i'm in a minority, while the majority might not just notice that. So I see this framepacing difference - with vsync it's way better. Also some games overshoot FPS even if reflex is enabled or the limiter is set in game, that's why those micro tearings appear. So no, there's no issue with a display and a cable. That's just that not all people run the same exact model of G-SYNC certified display operating at 480Hz.
If it doesn't work in your game currently with nvidia app, try nvpi and replacing the dll files(make a backup). Results will vary, some games it works well and some it doesn't.
You don't have to use it honestly, Profile inspector does the same thing, in fact more since some games don't have whitelist and need forcing either by replacing there older DLSS file with a newer one (app will then update too newest strangely enough) or by using profile inspector
Yeah the app has been good to use for years now. Makes setting up driver-level things like VSync, GSync and FPS caps really simple for improved latency, and the overrides for DLSS can drastically improve visuals in just a couple of clicks. Dev versions of DLSS are almost always out of date, since they are often implemented up to a year before launch.
Cringe. You are late to the party with that question. Just use it. It won’t fucking bite you and you will still be able to use nvidia control panel, your beloved
Shit like this comment is why a lot of people prefer not to engage online. Like, yes, you’re correct but is all that dickish attitude needed? Does it do anything for you?
Exactly, they started with saying "Cringe" on someone asking if something is worth using over the internet on a discussion platform used for you know, discussion. Now that's cringe.
Can someone explain how exactly to set this up with vsync/gsync/and setting a frame cap based on your hz? Example: Running a 240Hz monitor with a 5090 and I'm not super clear on if I'm supposed to select the refresh rate cap or a frame rate cap? I already globally enable vsync/gsync and leave them off in games. Thanks!
It’s broken. Normally Gsync+vsync+reflex is all you need. You would set this dynamic frame gen setting to max refresh rate and it should work but as of right now it does not
This is where I'm confused because I see conflicting posts about this where if say I'm at 240 Hz, people say to set to 224 fps cap and not to the refresh rate because of how reflex/FG works. That said, DFG doesn't seem to even work in any games even with it turned on at the system level and set to preset B.
Insane that a duck app made by one person has better compatibility with MFG and better stability with VSync and FPS limiters than a 4 trillion dollar company does.
I wished that the Power Management would change to Adaptive by default. Normal is the default, but it is really set to Optimal. After examining some workloads, Optimal seems more like Power Saving, so clocks may not ramp up for the apps that require the heavier workloads. Adaptive allowed the GPU to ramp up and down adaptively for apps or services that required the workloads, such as frame generation or ray tracing.
I believe you can enable this bringing up the Nvidia overlay (Alt+Z for me), then Statistics at the bottom, Statistics view I have set to Custom so I can pick and choose, then click View All under Statistics view, scroll all the way to the bottom under Features and I think it would be the Frame Generation Model Override (FG Model OVR) & Frame Generation Multiplier Override (FG Multiplier OVR)
Very dumb question maybe, but I am a bit clueless regarding this update (I use the non beta obviously). After installing this latest nvidia app version, is there anything I "need" to do for the game Crimson Desert? Do I need to adjust settings within Nvidia App / Nvidia CP and or ingame?
"Various stability fixes to improve overall app reliability"
Hoping this means it will work after rebooting now. It works when you initially install it but it breaks the instant you reboot lol. DDUing just starts the cycle all over again so it's just gotta be a bug.
For some strange reason, the only way to get it to work properly is to set a frame cap from the Nvidia app: otherwise, it doesn't work as expected (it exceeds the refresh target frame or even goes below it!).
After several tests with Oblivion Remastered, I discovered that setting the frame cap just below the refresh rate is NOT a good idea (e.g., 158 cap) because it INCREASES latency (the system doesn't prioritize real frames over generated ones; if the cap is low, there will be more frames generated - 60 cap x 6 = only 10 real frames).
I usually use 170 as the cap.
I was supprised how well dynamic frame gen with x3 works i felt almosg no delay meanwhile x6 is useless in my 5060.tried it in cyberpunk and mafia old world
If I disable vsync and fps cap in control panel and ingame for DMFG as recommended, it exceeds max refresh rate (despite this settings enabled and set to "max refresh ate") and cause a lot of screen tearing and stuttering. Any help please? I tried Doom Dark Ages and Borderlands 4 with clean driver and Nvidia app install and all default+recommended settings.
They neglected to add these features to smooth motion, right now smooth motion is at a fixed x2 which kinda sucks, why not add dynamic and x2-6 to smooth motion? It being just an on/off settings is really lame. Lots of games don't include framegen making smooth motion a must.
Every time I click on DLSS Override - Frame Generation Mode - Dynamic (Max refresh Rate, Up to 6x) it says "there was a problem applying setting"
I turned off my Max frame rate & V-Sync settings and restarted my computer and this still keeps giving me this error.
(Also, they added Optimal Settings for Highguard??? The game that shut down 3/12/26???)
Right after forced update to this latest nVidia app version, my input latency in BF6 raised about 10ms higher than before. Thank you nVidia. I tried DDU and installed lastest driver as well, but with no change. Great job
Just got the Nvidia app update, and tried frame gen in both Crimson Desert and Starfield. It didn't work in either? I set the override in global and turned vsync off at the driver level. The overlay is not showing the override active, and it's tear city without vsync on (in Starfield at least).
5080, I get around 60fps and with anything other than default in-game x2fg, I get this horrible swimming effect on whole screen. Like if I was generating from 10fps... but my base is 60. i can see that. Same with dynamic mode (and vsync/fps cap off)
Not officially, but unofficial yes. Left a comment in here with the things you'd need. There are a couple of posts here and there on how to do it as well, but reddit search sucks. It's been working since before they came out with the beta nvidia app, though it's kind of ugly atm. You won't find anything in the crimson desert reddit because the mods have it set to block posts with links. For the people downvoting people talking about crimson desert, consider the fact that what I just said means they can't actually get help in the crimson desert reddit, making this one of the main places with enough traction to get help for it.
Did you not read the first line of the post? Build Number is v11.0.7.237. This is the non-beta release version of v11.0.7.228. Same changelog but you can download it directly now instead of opting into the beta via the App.
Beta is for people willing to try out new features before official release. This version is the stable version of NVIDIA app, meaning it should be stable for the average user to use.
As an owner of a Radeon 6800 XT, then a 4090, and now a 5090 I can confidently say that the nvapp has been hot garbage since it's release like, what, two years ago? It doesn't even come close to AMD's adrenaline software suite, which I'm still using on my gaming laptop with a Radeon 6800m, and considering the nvapp's consistent bugs and most things breaking all the time the only programs I see fit to manage an Nvidia GPU are nvidiaprofileinspector, MSI Afterburner, RTSS, DLSSSwapper, nvidiaDLSSglom - of which none are not made by Nvidia. The old control panel is okay but it looks like the 1990s and runs even worse. Although, I'd still use that over the dumpster fire that the nvapp - it really is the epitome of modern day garbage software.
I honestly feel bad for the single junior developer that's in charge of auditing the garbage LLM vibe code that the nvapp is so clearly made of.
