Good job intel. Thx for software locking my 3 months old 13th gen CPU.
After this, I don't think i will buy a team Blue solution ever again.
At least with Nvidia FG lock exclusively to 4000 series, there is a hardware reason so it's swallowable.
Software locking is not.

Frame gen could be used with older gpus just a question if nshitia wants it, looking at you far 3 hoping you finally release

Nope.

Nvidia and AMD's frame gen work completely differently, AMD for the most part uses software, Nvidia's is mainly all hardware based.

The optical flow accelerator inside Ada is roughly 4-5 times faster than the OFA in Ampere, Using the OFA in Ampere to do FG wouldn't give any performance uplift, It would infact result in a performance penalty. An Nvidia engineer spoke about this when frame gen was first shown and said eventually they may be able to make it work on 3000 series but the uplift would be absolutely minuscule to non existent.... but as per usual with lunatics on the internet he was called names, Threatened with violence, Murder etc etc.... which is why we generally don't have experts interacting with the public anywhere near as much as we would like.
