How to Use Upscaling & Frame Gen For Performance and Image Quality

October 16, 2025 Gavin Bonshor 0

Upscaling and frame generation can make a mid-range GPU feel high-end—or turn a crisp image into Vaseline with ghosting. This is the practical guide: DLSS, […]

A black slide titled “VRAM Explained (2025)” covers how much VRAM you really need for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Subtitle: “When 8 GB Falls Over.” Footer: “BonTech Labs • 2025-10-16.”.

VRAM Explained (2025): How Much You Need for 1080p, 1440p & 4K

October 16, 2025 Gavin Bonshor 0

VRAM is where your frame lives. When it’s big enough, games feel smooth; when it isn’t, frametimes spike, textures pop, and “80 fps average” lies. […]

A slide titled GPU Buyers Guide 2025 covers Bandwidth, VRAM, Raster vs RT, Power & Thermals, Upscaling & Frame Gen, and GPU to Buy 2025. BonTech Labs and the date 2025-10-16 appear at the bottom.
