What Is Frame Generation In The First Descendant & How Does It Work?

First Descendants - Frame Generation Setting

Frame Generation is a setting in the game that can be used to ensure that players have the best graphics that they possibly can. It is something that will increase frame rate (as long as the frame rate is set to unlimited); however, it does have some cons. It is a setting that is only available if AMD is chosen as the upscaler while playing. The upscaler can be found by going to the Performance Menu and selecting Additional Options.

Leveling up is a key feature in most RPGs, and the same is true for The First Descendant. Here's how strong you can get in this game.

The best way to see if Frame Generation is right for you is by turning it on and analyzing the performance. If the game is visibly smoother and runs better, you will definitely want to keep it on. However, if it does mess with the FPS or you see some glitches around the screen, turning it off would be your best option. It has been known to cause some weird glitches if the console or PC cannot handle it being on, so it will be obvious if you need to turn it off. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of using it.

Pros

Cons
  1. You will have smoother gameplay.
  2. It will give you extra FPS.
  3. It can decrease the power used by the console or PC.

  • If too many things are on the screen, it can lower the graphics quality.
  • It could cause ghosting and tearing on the screen.
  • If it causes the frame rate to become unstable, the graphics will decrease.
  • There could create a noticeable input delay, depending on the console and PC.

Overall, it is worth it if your console or PC can handle it. Since it is so easy to test that out, you might as well test it before deciding not to use it at all.
