Steam Hardware
A place to discuss and support all Steam Hardware, including Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and SteamOS in general.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Deck] - Steam Deck related.
[Machine] - Steam Machine related.
[Frame] - Steam Frame related.
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
If your post is only relevant to one hardware device (Deck/Machine/Frame/etc) please specify which one as part of the title or by using a device flair.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
- Follow the rules of Sopuli
- Posts must be related to Steam Hardware or Steam OS in an obvious way.
- No piracy, there are other communities for that.
- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.

This is anecdotal but I don't get all the frame gen hate, I've had to tweak it a little bit toward the quality setting but everything looks normal and it's totally smooth in maxed Cyberpunk at 165 fps
If the rendered framerate is over 60fps (which I'd wager is the case for you), it probably looks great.
Interpolation isn't psychic; of course its going to look like jello "guessing" what's between frames at a slideshow pace, especially with the constraint of low latency (without any future frames to use).
But I do have issue with some devs (and some of Nvidia's marketing) treating it as a crutch. It's not going to fix 15fps, but it's a sane way to get from 60 to 165 smoothly. TBH its less wasteful than trying to hit a native 165.
Exactly. Frame gen is trash if you can only hit like 28 FPS before turning it on. But if you are already over 60, it can be fine.
But there is always a latency penalty, and that’s why if you can’t make frame rate without it, you are just digging a deeper hole latency wise.
