Nvidia Smooth Motion - 590.26 preview drivers

[Raven68]

Just a question to the community and I know it's early still, but has there been any testing or review of Nvidia's incoming 590.26 drivers? I'm curious 

if it is as advertised or if DCS is not setup for this technology?

the drivers are still in beta but people with 50 series cards can use them now ...  oh and it wont work in VR

That's a good bit of info there! I was hoping for a boost in VR performance, but no joy. 

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting. So I guess the difference between this and Frame Generation is that it doesn’t need support within the game? Looks like this feature is coming to the 40-series as well.

Initial tests and comparisons suggest that Loseless Scaling still does the same job better than Nvidia's Smooth Motion.

Granted, it's a payware app (7$ on Steam) but it works with any GPU and any driver, and on any game...
....plus, it's lightweight - doesn't suffer from the extra weight of Nvidia's bloatware app.

What are your system specs, i.e, CPU, RAM, GPU w/VRAM, etc.?

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12450H

32.0 GB 

rtx 4060 8 gb 

definitely needs more testing.

installed today the 590.26 previev to enable fluid motion which is now available as well for RTX40xx cards
in expectation that it will improove FPS in VR.

In VR -> no changes at all, like mentioned by speed-of-heat.

Made some testing with screen 2d setup as well,
Fluid Motion enabled, experienced ~15-20 fps LESS in the same scene (quick mission, syria, free flight the first 30 seconds)

For ME, after really QUICK tests, result will be better leave it off.

All maxed out in DCS launcher;

3440 x 1440
DLAA
!!NO DLSS!!

Specs:

9800X3d
RTX 4080 @ ~ 3000 MHZ
