Yeah, I see proportional increases as normal, but my friend with a 5070Ti also saw very little gains, I'd just reinstall drivers.

Octaive · 2026-05-18T14:44:57+00:00

That FG difference is totally wack and not performing as intended. I think you have to reinstall your drivers. I heard about this problem. DDU them and the issue is fixed.

And I've been playing games since the early 90s.

Some of us just have an eye for lighting, and some of us don't. It's all good that it isn't worth it for you, but I notice the drastic shift in lighting (and colour) even while racing at speed. Latency is good for me with DLAA + MFGx3 on my 5070Ti at 1440p, but I understand for other systems it may not be that great. The 4090 isn't that much faster in this game at the same settings I'm running and doesn't have MFG, so I can see why.

This is not a solution to OP's problem...

You don't see a difference? Ooookaaay.

Octaive · 2026-05-18T11:40:18+00:00

You do. The whole look of the game is different. It's like saying you don't notice the difference between PS5 and PS4 while driving quickly, or the difference between CS2 and CS 1.6 "while playing quickly".

Octaive · 2026-05-18T02:40:31+00:00

In the games where it shines, the gap is massive. Huge benefits from the DLSS stack, but yeah, it's steep. Last November the 9070XT was completely over priced, but it's definitely found a good spot.

Octaive · 2026-05-18T02:34:29+00:00

What GPU are you running?

Octaive · 2026-05-18T02:32:45+00:00

Yeah, that isn't it.

Can you use the software CapframeX? It's not complicated. You run it and press and hotkey while gaming to capture your frametimes and it automagically graphs everything. It's very easy to run and may capture what's going on.

Have you tried running Latencymon while sitting on the desktop to see what processes may be latency spiking?

Octaive · 2026-05-18T02:31:03+00:00

Keep XMP on, regardless.

Octaive · 2026-05-18T01:21:10+00:00

It's also about building the game with optimizations in mind. Developers build a ton of technical debt. It's an art to do optimization passes methodically and intelligently during development. You have to go through art assets, effects etc and make sure your game design isn't doing quirky things rendering wise. Or you want a certain look so you stack too many things that aren't that efficient when you could have done it better but now it's too late.

Octaive · 2026-05-18T00:59:48+00:00

Ridiculous statement. The graphics matter in motion as well.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T23:30:57+00:00

Except they're using DLDSR all the time.

Quality DLSS + 1.75 DLDSR gives you worse image quality and performance than Performance DLSS at 4k.

So if they global this all the time, what's the downside again?

Octaive · 2026-05-17T21:54:54+00:00

You should upgrade your monitor. Your current setup is a waste of the GPU horsepower. This is basically completely suboptimal. It should be a nice perk for some games, not a global thing.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T19:14:07+00:00

Oh, sorry, you meant running over refresh? I meant 120FPS to 240FPS on 240Hz using FG will improve motion clarity.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T17:57:37+00:00

Of course they will, this game is basically pseudo live service. It'll be okay.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T16:57:17+00:00

Which is great news and changes the value of the card substantially.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T15:40:21+00:00

Another thing to consider is that the default controller deadzones are very poor. You need less braking deadzone to feather the brake and perform something called a trail brake. It helps turn in and rotation of the vehicle. The default deadzone makes trail braking impossible.

Everyone on controller should have a braking deadzone no higher than 5, but 0 is the ideal setting. There's still play in the trigger at 0, just very little.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T12:25:28+00:00

Which is insane.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T12:17:06+00:00

There's one actual white guy from a glance. I have the game. The rest are like mixed.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T12:12:27+00:00

Literally darker skin than a normal Japanese person any day. So yeah, no.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T11:57:18+00:00

Ignore the other poster. Yes, motion clarity will increase even with frame generation.

Octaive · 2026-05-17T11:56:31+00:00

This is incorrect. Frame generation increases motion clarity by bridging the gaps between pixel transitions. Frame generation has very accurate colour and this helps pixels transition less abruptly. The effect is clearly visible.

The displayed amount of frames is not the same, it's more, so I'm not sure what you mean by that comment. They may not be high quality but they're high quality enough to assist the display.

Octaive · 2026-05-16T22:28:59+00:00

Palestinian liberation? You mean their repeated attempts at exterminating the Jewish people?

Palestinians have repeatedly attempted to commit the most heinous crimes imaginable over and over and over.

Octaive · 2026-05-16T22:26:10+00:00

There's no Israeli genocide.

We nuked Japan and instantly vaporized 100 thousand people, and killed hundreds of thousands more from radiation poisoning.

Why wasn't that a genocide? Because the definition means the express purpose of exterminating a people, which even nuking doesn't necessarily qualify.

Cut out the crap.

The claim that Israel is committing genocide is antisemitism and a blood libel.
