The newer variants of both AMD and Nvidia have really cut down on the input lag. For example Hollow Night, Monster Hunter and No Rest for the Wicked all had acceptable levels of input lag (10- 25ms added latency) while having a much smoother experience, and even action games can run Great with it, but of course that's also more of a Personal comfortability issue. I would argue the trade-off is worth it, AFMF 2.1 also has way less artifacts in those faster paced games compared to FSR.
Particularly the Z1 chip has many 3D games where you're just shy of 60fps or 30fps mark, that's where Framegen really shines.
That's Interesting to hear, but what i meant was AMDs AMFM 2.1 which is their currently best driver level Frame gen technology , FSR is mainly for Upscaling but also has older Framgen modell
but has both performance and quality wise worse Framegen performance.
The mods mostly only change the upscaler aka FSR4 that runs after the generated frame is produced which is of course also important but wasn't my point.
I personally own the older but almost identical version of the Legion Go and while i really think Steam OS is the defacto better operating system for Handleld gaming i still don't switch because what the article missed is the big buzzword Named Frame Generation. Yes windows has worse performance if you count Frame Gen out. Steam OS saddly had no Framegen on launch and now a relatively Old version of it. I think for handheld gaming this really is the killer feature. You get double or even triple the frames in those More demanding 3d titles, added smoothness for the 2d indi games, and the normally occurring downsides like graphic artefacts are a lot less of a problem because of the smaller screen size. Even on windows Lenovo is slow to update their official Drivers but you can either go directly to AMD or get the asus Handheld drivers instead, if you are willing to jump through the hoops that its. This feature which currently has a lot of bad press(rightly so) really is perfect for Handheld gaming and Valve should be staying on top with the updates more.
Honestly this article lost me right at the start. How can anyone in their right mind think that every Newer Game production works that way and only lists the worst examples of the AAA industry when in fact there are many smaller studios and even indigames rival sales of the biggest studios with mod support and no microtransactions? I just feel like the person hasn't really played any newer non AAA games. Then he goes on to make really uniform claims about integrated graphics today, which quite literally are able to play the newest Call of Duty. It just strikes me as a rage opinion post, which has some underlying truths but overall is just poorly researched.
Particularly the Z1 chip has many 3D games where you're just shy of 60fps or 30fps mark, that's where Framegen really shines.
