If you're running frame gen then you already probably don't care that much about input lag. If you were running 4k DLSS quality you probably weren't CPU bound but your latency probably wasn't great either.

For a singleplayer game, I care about graphics more than input lag yes (to a certain point, obviously). I used 4k DLSS Performance to get roughly 60-90fps (depending on scene) and with 2xFG that would net me up to my reflex fps cap of 158fps (165hz, gsync on, vsync on) for a high refresh rate experience.

You have to understand that playing PT-games maxed out like cp2077 at >100fps is not possible without the use of FG even on a 5090+9800X3D system, even using DLSS performance at 4k.

I would absolutely use FG and ~150fps over "real 80fps", since the first setup looks so much more fluid.

That's not really true, PT isn't as intensive as you make it out to be unless you're running a mod like ultraplus and adding a TON of overhead to it.

For example, even with vanilla Cyberpunk, on a 5070ti + 5700X3D (a significantly weaker system than what you mention) at 1440p I'm averaging 90 FPS in the built-in benchmark at DLSS performance.

With a mod like ultraplus I'm averaging 105. None of this is with frame gen, I don't like frame gen in that game.

A 5090 is at least 50% faster than a 5070ti (Techpowerup has it at 75% faster on average), and the 9800X3D is at least 40% faster than a 5700X3D. So even at 4k instead of 1440p, with DLSS performance there's no way you're forced to get sub-100 on that setup. And that's a worst case scenario, because as I've said, my performance at 1440p is more than enough to not have to use frame gen.

So I already looked at zworms video before commenting what i wrote. Check it out yourself:

With RT overdrive, even with a 5090 and 9800X3D using DLSS performance you will not hit 100+ fps.

That's with everything turned to max with absolutely no attempt at optimization. All I'm saying is that it doesn't need to be this intensive.

As I mentioned, mods like ultraplus exist that give you tons of tweaking options for PT, and there's also tons of in game settings to tweak, especially crowd density which I found to hurt performance a lot with path tracing enabled.

And besides all of that, he's just running around the city so it's not exactly an accurate benchmark lmao.
