Support NeoGAF

[Bernoulli]

Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station has now teased an interesting new feature that could potentially change the mobile gaming landscape. Apparently, the Adreno 830 will support frame interpolation, allowing it to run Genshin Impact at 1080p 120 FPS.

Frame interpolation, popularly known as DLSS/FSR Frame Generation is a relatively new feature exclusive to current-gen Nvidia and AMD GPUs. It essentially increased a game's framerate by inserting artificial frames. While this does give the impression of better performance, it comes at a cost of extra input lag and visual artifacts like blurring.

DCS adds the feature won't be exclusive to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. There is a possibility of it tricking down to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 via a firmware update. Of course, it won't work with all titles and will require developers to bake the feature into their titles. If implemented correctly this could pave way for AAA PC/console games like Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed: Mirage to land on Android, and maybe even help the Snapdragon X Elite run games better.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: Adreno 830 GPU rumoured to launch with DLSS Frame Generation-like feature

A new leak says the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could launch with frame interpolation which essentially increases FPS by inserting frames. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could get it via a future update.

Sounds good, but gaming performance be bad right now fam.


Probably needs more performant drivers or translation layers to speed up games that are usually build on x86.

I'm sure publishers are salivating at those mouth watering numbers of 7000 copies of RE4R and 11,000 units of Death Stranding being sold on iOS, a closed ecosystem, and thinking that "let's port these to Android, the most open source mobile OS, to sell millions!"

The only "AAA" title that's even in the top 100 paid games on Android, is GTA: SA. It currently sits at 5 million+ downloads (not sales), and it was given away with Google play pass sometime ago. No real sales data available publicly. It's second biggest paid app after Minecraft. Everything else is mobile curated or mobile first games like Monument Valley and Getting Over It or famous Indies like Limbo/Terraia/Super Meatboy Forever/Dead Cells etc.

Apart from Square's SNES-PS1 ports, no AAA publisher takes the platform seriously for fully priced games modern AAA games. Capcom won't be another exception like Square.

The tech is cool though, would definitely watch a digital foundry video if they do one, I mean, if a publisher ports to Android and then they do an analysis.

it's not limited to AAA but mobile gaming is bigger than console and PC

As LSFG shows, you don't need fancy hardware to do frame gen, so why not give it a go on mobile

 

[Rudius]

It will be good for the Quest 4.

It will be good for the Quest 4.

That’s actually a great point and would be quite a jump from current Quest.

For games like PUBG, Genshin and other shooters
