Now here is something that came out of nowhere. NVIDIA has just included a new setting in its NVIDIA App, called Smooth Motion. Smooth Motion appears to be a form of frame generation that PC gamers can enable in every game. In other words, it’s similar to AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames.
From the looks of it, Smooth Motion may be exclusive to the RTX50 series GPUs. I haven’t tested the new NVIDIA App on the NVIDIA RTX 4090, so I’m not 100% sure about it. So, if you have an RTX30 or RTX40 series GPU, comment below if you get the option for Smooth Motion.
UPDATE:
As suspected, Smooth Motion is indeed exclusive to the RTX50 series GPUs. You cannot enable it on older NVIDIA GPUs.
You can find Smooth Motion right below DSR. Right now, Smooth Motion supports both DX11 and DX12 games.
As with AFMF, Smooth Motion may be ideal for games that do not support DLSS (or for those that only have support for DLSS Super Resolution). For instance, you can use Smooth Motion in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which only supports DLSS 3 Super Resolution.
Interestingly enough, NVIDIA never mentioned this feature during the review cycle of its RTX50 series GPUs. It simply came out of nowhere. So, that’s a pleasant surprise.
What’s also interesting is that Rivatuner can force NVIDIA Reflex in games that don’t have native support for it. So, NVIDIA owners may get better and more responsive controls with Smooth Motion than AMD users got with AFMF.
I will take a closer look at Smooth Motion this weekend. So, expect an article with my impressions this Sunday.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE #2:
NVIDIA told us that support for the RTX40 series GPUs will be coming in a future update.
“NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a brand-new driver technology and requires time for validation and QA across multiple products. Support for GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs will be coming in a future update.”

Just booted up my old 3770k/3080 system. Smooth motion is locked to the 5000 series, the app tells you this.

AMD WON THIS GENERATION 5080 CLASS CARD FOR 70 5070 SERIES PRICES.
GOOD GAME RETARDS.
This is why you shouldn't do drugs kids.
you will see 9070 XT very close or better than 5080 and much less money amd won lil delusional fanboy lol.
You are right they have won and confident in their product that why they keep delaying the release and wait for nvidia to copy prices…
Ah you're more ret*rded than i thought…
What do you expect from someone who calls themselves Billy Bob?
Its obvious check his avatar.
Where's RDOA4? I don't see it.
Where's ShatFSR4? Nothing but a "project" lol
Cope.
We all loose this generation and the previous. Only john won with his free cards
Thanks John. I look forward to your impressions of this.
Meh about 50 series, I will stick with my 4080 until 60 series.
nvidia obsessed with getting their mcm/chiplet gpu's to work as one giant chip intel was with 285k arrowlake processor instead of using bridge i/o dies.
its gonna cost them tho in the end and make them fall years behind lol its gonna be more expensive and harder to get working its why it took intel so long to finally get a working chiplet.
NVIDIA GONNA FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP STUCK WITH A MORE EXPENSIVE PACKAING TECHNOLOGY THAT IS HARDER TO GET WORKING AND GONNA TAKE THEM MORE YEARS TO FINALLY GET ON THE MARKET MAKING THEM FALL BEHIND LOL.
It's locked to the 50 series prolly cuz it's using flip metering for proper pacing.
Remember, when Nvidia do something they don't half-4ss it.
If you want something like the garbo that is AFMF (artifacts, disabling with fast movement, awful latency) there's already Loserless Scaling.
It is locked because they have no other way to market their product, their improvement are so so, nothing special, their software also have nothing new, MFG already done by LSFG since a semester ago.
Thanks to deepseek, their share down one billion, make them step their feet in the ground again after a couple of years AI fad, soon they will kneel before us, gamers, begging us to buy their GPU

Upgrading to a rtx5000 is a waste of money. This is the worst nvidia generation since ever. Gonna wait for the next one if china doesnt wreck tsmc by then
That's the FX 5 Series. But yeah this comes in 2nd place.
Years of silicon shrink race, and their hardware have hardly any improvement in gaming, just their software … Thankfully Deepseek came and wreck this AI fad, their shares down almost one Billion in a day. Soon, they will begging to us, gamer again

They should have code named this architecture "Disappointment"!
So it's useless to the super-vast-majority of gamers for the next 7 years. I'll stick to my 3080 that I overpaid couple years ago , no thanks. These articles over the years (performance, price, everything else) makes me want to fire up the POS ps4 that's been sitting for years.
Smooth motion is greyed out on my 4090.

Smooth Motion
Important Information
• Enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling from Windows display
settings to use this feature
• RT X 50 series GPU is required to use this feature
Description
Uses Al to deliver smoother gameplay by inferring an additional frame
between two rendered frames
Typical usage scenarios
Turning on Smooth Motion for games that don't support DLSS
Thanks thanks, updated the article to reflect the RTX50 exclusivity.
That's strange, it's working just fine in Lossless Scaling on my 3080 x-D
what's the difference with frame generation ? XD
Yeah, NVIDIA have themselves claimed that smooth motion is exclusive to the RTX 50-series GPUs.
I can't enable it on my RTX 4060 Ti either.
"NVIDIA Smooth Motion can be applied to games running at native resolution, with super resolution technologies, or with other scaling techniques, typically doubling the perceived frame rate."

NV continues pushing their agenta nullifying their older products in favor of their new ones.
You mean like AMD is doing with FSR 4 that will only work on 9000 series GPUs? Well maybe it will work, after all the 7000 series has AI Cores too but they are either defective or AMD just can't figure out how to make them work
Everyone that bought a 7000 series AMD GPU got ripped off because they paid extra for something that just doesn't work. Millions of transistors that you paid for are wasted
You mean like pretty much every single company since the dawn of time has done?
you can use CPU that are 3/4 generation old old without missing big feature
you can have coffee machine that are 2/3 generation old old without missing big feature
you can use cars that are 2/3 generation old without missing big feature
you have smartphone that still old up without missing big feature at 2/3 gen old
na not "pretty much every single company" just release a new product intentionnally outdating his 1 gen old product that bad
50 series gpus don't have any special hardware that accelerates this specifically as it just uses Tensor cores. I believe this will be available in future for other rtx cards, either by modding or official support.
"What’s also interesting is that Rivatuner can force NVIDIA Reflex in games that don’t have native support for it"
Sorry, John…but what does Rivatuner have to do with this? Did you mean Nvidia App?

RivaTuner and Special K allows you to force Nvidia Reflex in games.
I'm not even going to bother with trying this, lossless scaling is doing a pretty good job.
I'm 100 percent sure you have the v-sync turned on but you'll come back here and lie about how you had it off but there's still input lag because you're a brain dead low IQ f4ggot who like most people can't even operate a simple software.
Seriously, WTF is wrong with you? Do you even have a clue what the hell you're talking about? Highly doubt it you uneducated chimp…
Yes, you have a very low IQ (because you're a sh*tskin sp*c), you can't figure out how to use a software.

AFMF 2 already work way better than lossless scaling that not even close how garbage it is in comparison
In what way?
Smooth motion for Smooth brains
Totally!
"What’s also interesting is that Rivatuner can force NVIDIA Reflex in games that don’t have native support for it."
You can also just use Nvidia's Ultra Low Latency setting.
I have the RTX30 and get smooth… Now that I have your attention!!! Give it up NVIDIA, AMD are always ahead and are pioneers in the tech. Just give it up…
