Understanding Frame Generation in The First Descendant

Taking down the Vulgus in The First Descendant may prove challenging without utilizing all the power your PC can muster. One way to do this is through Frame Generation, a feature in the game that can significantly improve its performance and your playing experience. This guide will help you understand and effectively use Frame Generation in The First Descendant.

Importance of Frame Generation

Frame Generation is a helpful trick in The First Descendant that can give you extra frames in your game, leading to a smoother, more buttery visual experience. This boost in the game’s visual performance will allow you to dispatch your foes in an efficient manner, taking full advantage of the game’s action-driven gameplay.

Enabling Frame Generation

To enable Frame Generation in The First Descendant, follow these steps:

1. Go to the game’s menu and click on options.
2. You should land on a graphics page with other settings. Navigate to Additional Options.
3. Select Nvidia for the Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction options.
4. You can now select the performance mode under the DLSS option or opt for Quality, based on your needs. We’d recommend the Performance mode for the extra frames, but if you wish for a superior visual experience, Quality is your go-to choice.
5. Turn on Frame Generation to benefit from the extra frames and enhance the smoothness of your game.

Do note that Frame Generation might trigger some odd performance issues due to the extra frames, depending on whether your PC can handle them without compromising your game’s overall performance. If the game becomes choppy, you are advised to turn off Frame Generation while employing DLSS in performance mode.

Optimize Performance with NVIDIA Reflex

An additional feature that could prove useful in conjunction with Frame Generation is NVIDIA Reflex. This feature reduces latency, improving your system’s response to your inputs. Efficient utilization of NVIDIA Reflex can significantly enhance your gaming performance and speed up your decision-making in heated battles—a crucial edge provided the game's servers are on your side.
