2. 🚀 The Evolution of AI Upscaling and Frame Generation Technologies
· DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling)
· First introduced by Nvidia in 2018, this technology renders images at a lower resolution and uses AI neural networks to upscale them, boosting FPS and improving image quality.
· While early versions (1.0) required game-specific training, version 2.0 became more universally applicable.
· It only worked with the Tensor cores found in RTX 20 series GPUs.
· FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution)
· Developed by AMD as a response to DLSS, its initial version (FSR 1.0) did not use neural networks, offering high compatibility but lower image quality compared to DLSS.
· FSR 2.0 utilizes previous frame data to deliver quality comparable to DLSS and is compatible with AMD and some Nvidia GPUs.
· DLSS 3 (Frame Generation)
· Released in 2022, DLSS 3 added a 'Frame Generation' feature in addition to its existing upscaling capabilities.
· It inserts artificial frames between actual frames to maximize visual smoothness.
· It only works with RTX 40 series GPUs and initially caused confusion due to the integration of anti-aliasing and frame generation.
· FSR 3.0 & Intel XeSS
· AMD responded with FSR 3.0, and Intel introduced XeSS to compete in the frame generation space.
· However, these latest frame generation technologies are not supported in Rust.

3. ⚠️ Why Frame Generation Technologies Don't Work in Rust
· Frame generation technologies require a DirectX bridge between the game and hardware that supports DirectX 12.
· Rust, however, operates on DirectX 11, meaning it currently does not support native frame generation technologies.
· That said, there is a DLSS option within the game's settings, but this is an AI-based anti-aliasing feature, not frame generation.
· When DLSS is enabled, the game renders at a lower resolution and then upscales, resulting in approximately a 15% FPS increase and potentially a slight decrease in image quality (e.g., shimmering, ghosting).

4. ✨ Driver-Level Frame Generation: Smooth Motion & Fluid Motion
· Smooth Motion (Nvidia) / Fluid Motion (AMD)
· These technologies are frame interpolation techniques that operate at the driver level, independent of the game engine or DirectX version.
· They use AI to create intermediate frames between two existing frames, increasing the number of frames displayed on screen regardless of the actual game FPS.
· They can slightly reduce native FPS due to the added load on the GPU.
· Nvidia Smooth Motion Test Results
· Test Environment: RTX 40 series GPU, Windows 10
· Results: Average FPS increased from 101 to 160 (approx. 58% increase)
· Drawbacks: Actual frame rate decreased by about 20%, input lag increased by 8 frames (approx. 28%)
· Lowering graphics settings showed a similar FPS increase, but the input lag increase persisted.
· Test with an older GPU (GTX 570 Ti): Average FPS increased by 75%, with an 11% loss in actual performance.
· Visual Artifacts: Potential for distortion on thin, sharp objects like UI elements, crosshairs, and wires. Double vision on crosshairs during fast movements and image blurring were observed.
· AMD Fluid Motion Test Results
· Precise numerical comparison was difficult due to challenges in measuring FPS, but visual artifacts tended to be more pronounced than with Nvidia.
· Excessive sharpening and distortions were observed even during motion blur effects.
· Using DLSS + Smooth Motion Simultaneously
· No FPS improvement was observed; in fact, the image appeared blurrier.
