    It allows more resolution by cutting the fps. Fake frames are inserted into the gaps to get the fps back.

        What you’re thinking of is “DLSS Super Resolution.” The other commenters are right, nVidia insists on calling all of their various upscaling schemes “DLSS” regardless of whether they’re image resolution interpolation or frame interpolation. Apparently just to be annoying.

        There is a marginally handy chart on their website:

        All of it is annoying and terrible regardless of what it’s called, though.
