NVIDIA deliberately limited frame generation on RTX 30 and RTX 20 — MFG Unlocker enables DLSS Frame Generation
Independent testing showed that DLSS Frame Generation can work on older RTX 30 and RTX 20 cards through the open-source MFG Unlocker tool.
NVIDIA deliberately limited frame generation on RTX 30 and RTX 20 — the feature was enabled through MFG Unlocker.
The company claimed that DLSS Frame Generation does not work on older cards due to hardware limitations. Independent testing showed that even on previous RTX generations it works without serious issues: GPU load and image smoothness remain at the level of RTX 40 and RTX 50.
