Unlocking the Magic: How I Got 4x Multi Frame Generation on My RTX 4070 Super
Frame Rates Gone Wild!
So Nvidia tells me my RTX 4070 Super is not having any of that Multi Frame Generation (MFG) magic. Well, take that, Nvidia! I managed to unofficially crank up the smoothness, and let me tell you, it’s like playing on melted butter! MFG is all about using some nifty AI to conjure up to five extra fake frames for each real frame your GPU actually works hard for. Yeah, it’s a little bit of pixel wizardry!
They introduced the OG 2x Frame Generation with RTX 40-series back in 2022, but all the juicy frame rates are hogged by the shiny RTX 50-series. Now, if you’re lucky enough to snag an RTX 5090—and believe me, it’s harder than finding a unicorn—you can bask in the glory of a whopping 6x MFG in supported games. Those RTX 50-series GPUs are packed with spiffy Tensor cores and a fancy AI Management Processor. My poor old 4070 Super doesn’t have those cool toys, but who needs them? We are gamers; we defy the odds!
Unlocking Glory with Mods
I stumbled upon some magical mods while fiddling with the ReShade HDR Installer—it’s like a DIY toolkit for daring gamers! Though my 4070 Super officially supports only 2x MFG, these mods turned it up to 6x! But fair warning: Nvidia’s not exactly endorsing this, so expect a few hiccups along the ride. I mean, we’re already in the deep end, right?
Let’s be real. Even the RTX 50-series may give you some blurry frames sometimes, so I wasn’t feeling too optimistic about my old buddy, the 4070 Super. I was just here to squeeze every last bit of juice from what I already have, while ignoring that nagging voice telling me to fork out my paycheck for that shiny new card. Spoiler alert: I ignored it!
Not every game is peachy keen about MFG either. But shockingly, story-rich gems like “Lost Records: Bloom & Rage” and “The Thaumaturge” happily embraced up to 6x MFG. Lucky me! I dove into a pool of single-player goodness without worrying about pesky online bans since we were running some off-the-books mods. Sorry, Arc Raiders—I’m not risking a ban for you!
All my testing went down at a glorious 1440p, and I cranked everything to High settings. I pulled the Nvidia DLSS quality mode to ‘Balanced’ and turned off ray tracing, because, well, sometimes it’s just too fancy for my card. I capped the ReShade HDR Installer at 4x MFG since not all games can handle all the way to 6x. And let’s be real, I wanted this test to give a pretty clear picture!
But hey, results were pretty nice! Not all MFG magic is the same, though. For example, while “Lost Records: Bloom and Rage” wasn’t a frame-rate champion, navigating its enchanting world felt as smooth as buttered popcorn. The only shadow tweak I noticed was a softening effect way down the line—otherwise, I was in gaming heaven!
Comparatively, “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2” had plenty of frames but was a shaky rollercoaster that made my head spin! I experienced all sorts of frame hitching, and it wasn’t pretty—especially when zooming around Seattle at super speed. Artifacts popped up like unwanted party crashers while I was having my supernatural moment.
Latencies? Oh yeah, they debuted at the soirée too! The Thaumaturge had a few ghostly moments during its intimate cutscenes. You’d think AI in a turn-based RPG would keep it together easier than that, right? But nope, even digital characters had their slip-ups.
And no surprise, “Cyberpunk 2077” had its own set of problems. While it delivered some stellar frame rates, 4x MFG made it look like a flickering fairy tale. If I ever journey back to Night City, I’ll need to pull out my toolkit and do some serious tweaking beforehand. But here’s the kicker: the big RTX 4070 Super still pulls off respectable frames, proving it’s not ready for retirement yet!
So there you have it, folks! Unlocking 4x MFG on an RTX 4070 Super feels surprisingly robust. Who would’ve thought? I’ve got a great excuse to postpone that inevitable upgrade for a little while longer—at least until my wallet has smiles on its face again!
