Nvidia says my RTX 4070 Super isn’t capable of Multi Frame Gen, but I’m surprised by how smooth this unofficial unlock actually feels. That’s the whole premise of a new report, and it’s a practical demonstration of what unofficial modifications can do.
The story comes from a writer who has unlocked Multi Frame Generation (MFG) on an RTX 4070 Super using unofficial mods. MFG is a feature that uses AI to generate extra frames between the ones the GPU renders, smoothing out the motion. Nvidia first introduced the original 2x Frame Generation with the RTX 40-series cards in 2022, but the higher rates of frame generation are reserved for the RTX 50-series.
What MFG Actually Does
MFG works by creating as many as five generated, or ‘fake’ frames for each one actually rendered by the GPU. The RTX 50-series GPUs have more powerful Tensor cores and a dedicated AI Management Processor (AMP) that works alongside Flip Metering to deliver frames as smoothly as possible. Older cards, like the RTX 4070 Super, lack that hardware.
Officially, the RTX 4070 Super supports up to 2x MFG. The report’s writer used the ReShade HDR Installer to download unofficial mods that unlock higher rates, testing up to 6x MFG with the same card. Since Nvidia does not officially support more than 2x MFG on RTX 40-series cards, the writer expected some quirks ahead.
The Setup
The writer tested single-player games only, since the MFG unlock mods are not officially supported and can trigger in-game anti-cheat detection systems. That means multiplayer games like Arc Raiders were left out entirely. The tested games included Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, The Thaumaturge, Cyberpunk 2077, Pragmata, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and Black Myth: Wukong.
Games were tested at 1440p resolution with High graphical settings. Nvidia DLSS quality mode was set to ‘Balanced’, and ray tracing and similar tech were turned off where applicable. ReShade HDR Installer was capped at 4x MFG because not all games support the full 6x rate.
Why Games Support Different Rates
Not all games support even the standard 2x MFG. The writer was surprised to discover that story-heavy games like Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and The Thaumaturge both support up to 6x MFG. Nvidia keeps a full list of games that support MFG, and the writer’s testing leaned heavily on that list.
The result is a somewhat non-traditional roster. The writer explains that more PC gamers might be interested in testing 4x MFG on an RTX 40-series card, which is why the cap was set there rather than pushing to the full 6x.
The Results
The writer found that not all MFG support is created equal. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage felt consistently smooth to play with MFG active, with the only visible difference being softened shadows on a distant character model. The game remained gorgeous throughout.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, by contrast, was not the most stable thing to play. The writer experienced noticeable frame hitching with MFG active, and saw a bunch of artifacting while traversing snow-capped Seattle at speed. The problem was subtler when moving at a Masquerade-maintaining jog; it showed up instead when breaking into a supernatural sprint or gliding between rooftops.
Artifacting also appeared in The Thaumaturge, though not chiefly while pelting around Warsaw. Instead, it showed up in conversation-based cutscenes and during combat. The effect is more subtle than the ghosting seen in Bloodlines 2, but still present.
The Ghosting Problem
The writer has already mentioned the latency issues with Multi Frame Generation, and suggests the ghosting may arise from a similar source. The artifacting in The Thaumaturge is more subtle than the ghosting seen in Bloodlines 2, but still definitely there.
The clip below captures the effect as ne’er-do-well Marian enters a cutscene, and every time either Wiktor or his friend from the other side performs a focus-reducin.
What We Learn From This
The report is a reminder that unofficial modifications exist for a reason. The RTX 4070 Super is capable of handling more than its official rating suggests, at least in some games. The writer’s testing shows that the hardware can handle 4x MFG in single-player titles without crashing, though the visual artifacts are real and worth watching out for.
The writer’s honest admission that the RTX 4070 Super isn’t officially capable of Multi Frame Gen is the heart of the story. They didn’t let that stop them, and the results are surprisingly smooth. The ghosting and artifacting are real, but the smoothness is real too.
Key Facts Box
- RTX 4070 Super: Officially supports up to 2x MFG
- Unofficial mods: Unlock up to 6x MFG
- DLSS quality mode: Set to ‘Balanced’
- Resolution: 1440p
- Games tested: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, The Thaumaturge, Cyberpunk 2077, Pragmata, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Black Myth: Wukong
Test Sequence
| Game | Setting | Rate Tested |
|---|---|---|
| Lost Records: Bloom & Rage | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
| The Thaumaturge | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
| Pragmata | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
| Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
| Black Myth: Wukong | High, 1440p | 4x MFG |
The writer’s approach is straightforward: test the limits, document the results, and let readers decide for themselves. The report is a reminder that unofficial modifications exist for a reason. The RTX 4070 Super is capable of handling more than its official rating suggests, at least in some games. The writer’s testing shows that the hardware can handle 4x MFG in single-player titles without crashing, though the visual artifacts are real and worth watching out for.
The writer’s honesty about the limitations is refreshing. They know the mods are unofficial, they know the potential for anti-cheat detection, and they know the hardware isn’t officially rated for the work. None of that stops them from testing the limits anyway.
That’s the kind of curiosity that drives the PC gaming community forward. It’s a small experiment, but it answers a real question: how far can an older card go when the software pushes it?
The answer, it turns out, is farther than expected.
