NVIDIA made statements about the applicability of Frame Generation technology in RTX 3000 series graphics cards.
NVIDIA, RTX 3000 He answered questions about whether Frame Generation technology will be possible in series graphics cards. NVIDIA’s Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research, Bryan Catanzaro, stated in his statement on this issue that running Frame Generation technology on old hardware poses great difficulties in terms of optimization and engineering. The company said that it offers the best version of this technology in the RTX 5000 series, but they will continue to investigate what can be achieved from old hardware.
Is Frame Generation Possible on RTX 3000s?
According to Catanzaro, the optical flow calculations required for DLSS 3 Frame Generation technology are provided by hardware acceleration. However, the RTX 3000 series is not enough to support this technology in terms of the number of Tensor Cores and optical flow algorithm. NVIDIA used the Optical Flow Accelerator, which it has developed as an evolution of video coding technology for years, for this purpose. However, due to the limitations of this hardware, a completely AI-based solution had to be developed to improve the Frame Generation technology.
NVIDIA adopted this artificial intelligence-supported approach with DLSS 4, fixing the failures in the optical flow algorithm with an intelligent neural network. However, the current hardware limits of the RTX 3000 series make it difficult to fully implement this technology.
Catanzaro stated that old hardware is not completely excluded and that efforts are continuing to get more performance from the RTX 3000 series. While NVIDIA offers Frame Generation technology with maximum performance in the previously announced RTX 5000 series, it focuses on how optimized this technology can be in older series.
NVIDIA’s statements reveal an uncertain picture for RTX 3000 users. However, the company’s work on older hardware gives hope that this technology can reach a wider user base in the future. The extent to which the RTX 3000 series will benefit from this innovation will become clear with NVIDIA’s future work.
