Nvidia Smooth Motion has actually been modded onto RTX 3000 series GPUs
Modders continue to discover brand-new methods to execute Nvidia’s newest innovations on older hardware, and now it’s been finished with Team Green’s driver-level frame generation.
As reported by WccftechNvidia Smooth Motion has actually been unofficially made to deal with RTX 3000 series GPUs, with a brand-new NVSmooth30 mod readily available on GitHubvalidated to deal with an RTX 3050 laptop computer and an RTX 3080 desktop GPU.
Nvidia’s Smooth Motion performance is basically similar to AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames, indicating that it allows frame generation in video games that do not have main assistance for it– a tool that is most beneficial for older video games or video games running in emulators.
The mod works by customizing Nvidia’s driver-level frame generation DLL(Dynamic Link Library) file, identified NvPresent64, bypassing the typical compatibility checks that would stop it from dealing with Ampere GPU hardware, aka RTX 3000 series GPUs. It likewise works by “conservative metadata retargeting” from Ada Lovelace (RTX 4000 series) and targets Ampere rather.
The developer states that all users require to do is position the DLL file into the appropriate video game’s folder and utilize the Nvidia Profile Inspector app to allow Smooth Motion. The procedure is really basic, however this is a speculative task, so it risks of video game bugs and crashes, or possibly other problems– and should not be utilized in online video games utilizing anti-cheat (doing so might lead to a restriction).
Players desire brand-new functions, however brand-new GPUs are unaffordable
(Image credit: Future/ John Loeffler)Nvidia has actually been rather remarkable with its most current innovations, significantly with DLSS 5 Neural Rendering(which I saw at Gamescom 2026), and Smooth Motion has actually been among lots of over the last couple of years.
The GPU market remains in total chaos due to the RAM crisis, which implies rates for GPUs for both AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce GPUs are way expensive for the majority of people to think about an upgrade. Functions like Multi-Frame Generation, Dynamic Frame Generation, and Smooth Motion are those that PC users would enjoy, however can’t utilize on older hardware.
Register for breaking news, evaluations, viewpoint, leading tech offers, and more.
Modders have actually regularly shown that these functions can be backported in some method, with some even reaching porting DLSS 5 onto the RTX 4080 (regardless of the efficiency hit).
DLSS 5 Neural Rendering pertaining to older hardware in the instant future is impractical– however Nvidia has actually formerly informed me that it does intend on including in reverse compatibility at some point, though it’s most likely to come to 4000-series designs initially, and after that we’ll need to wish for 3000-series later on in the future, if it’s even possible.
It feels as though functions such as Frame Generation, and particularly Smooth Motion, are worthy of backporting attention now more than ever, as users are stuck with older GPUs.
Doing so would put Team Green in the great books of lots of PC players, and keep gamers from counting on informal mods to attain much better efficiency and delight in GeForce hardware to the maximum level.
