Frame Generation technology impacts input latency in gaming

Technical analysis of frame generation technology indicates that while interpolated intermediate frames typically increase input latency, certain methods can mitigate this effect. Benchmarks from titles such as Control Resonant and 007 First Light suggest that frame generation can actually improve input latency through specific techniques like Reflex.

Frame generation works by enriching conventionally calculated images with interpolated frames to improve visual smoothness. While this does not provide the same response time as a true doubling of the frame rate, recent advancements have addressed previous concerns regarding artifacts and latency.
