There are two kinds of “smooth” in a game.
The one your eyes see. And the one your hands feel.
We tend to assume they’re the same thing. They’re not, and modern GPUs have quietly built an entire technology on the gap between them.
We just put out Part 2 of Beyond the Frame on what frame generation really does: how your GPU fakes smoothness, when that’s a gift, and when looking smoother and feeling smoother quietly part ways.

Frame generation is a GPU technology that creates artificial frames to make games appear smoother visually, but this perceived smoothness doesn't always translate to better responsiveness or feel. There's a fundamental distinction between visual smoothness (what your eyes see) and input latency smoothness (what your hands feel), and modern GPUs exploit the gap between these two experiences. The piece explores how frame generation works, when it genuinely benefits players, and when the illusion of smoothness diverges from actual gameplay feel.
