FSR Mod for RTX 20 & 30 Series GPUs

Old Nvidia gaming GPUs enjoy huge performance uplifts from new mod — DLSS 3 to FSR 3 mod enables frame generation to deliver up to 75% better performance on previous GeForce RTX GPUs

Digital Foundry reviewed one of these FSR 3 mods and found it can breathe new life into older RTX 20-series and RTX 30-series GPUs, boosting performance up to 75%.

I was considering returning my RTX 4070 Super and kicking up to an RTX 4080 Super, but after seeing this now I'm wondering if I should just save the coin entirely and return the 4070S and just go back to my 3070. Especially considering I didn't need to upgrade the 3070 in the first place, other than I wanted higher FPS and refresh.

And it also makes me wonder how much more clout there is with the conspiracy theories around Nvidia's practices by limiting new features to newer GPUs only, as a strategy to entice people into incremental upgrades. Up to this point it was my understanding that DLSS3 wasn't backward compatible and required "Optical Flow Accelerator", which is not included on RTX 30 or RTX 20 series cards. And yet now there's apparently a softmod for Frame Generation.
