Fake frames is "frame generation" for Nvidia it's called ~~DLLS.~~
Rather than having the graphics card create 120 frames, you can crank the settings up to where you only get 60, then AI "guesses" what the next frame would show doubling it to 120 but keeping the higher settings.
This can make things blurry because the AI may guess wrong. So every odd frame is real, every even frame is just a guess.
Frame 1: real
Frame 2: guess
Frame 3: real
If the guess for #2 is accurate, everything is cool, if #2 guessed a target moves left when it moved right then #3 corrects and that "blink" is the problem.
The bigger issue is developers relying on that tech so they don't have to optimize code. So rather than DLSS being an extra ompf, it's going to be required for "acceptable" performance
To add on to this, the 5000 series now generates 3 fake frames per real frame instead of just 1.
Is “fake” being used as a pejorative here?
Yes.
