100 → 180 → 320 FPS is the result that interests me most in the week Jensen Huang left NVIDIA.

Those were my readings in Forza Horizon 6 single-player on an RTX 4070 Super: FG off, official 2X, then DLSSG SM86 at 4X. One PC, one route, no latency measurement: a personal test, not a benchmark.

Separate the mode from the observed gain

The useful arithmetic is simple:

180 / 100 = 1.8×
320 / 100 = 3.2×
320 / 180 ≈ 1.78×

The final reading is about 78% above official 2X in this test. Calling it a fourfold measured speed-up would be wrong: 4X is the selected generation mode.

Generated frames also need their own label. The simulation and input pipeline don't acquire 320 fresh input samples per second merely because an FPS counter reaches 320.

What the leadership story changes

The November 12 announcement puts Colette Kress in the interim CEO role. For developers integrating graphics features, the practical things to watch are the support matrix, SDK behaviour, driver releases and test coverage.

PC Gamer worries that the management change could reduce gaming's influence. That's a forecast. My preference is to judge the next published compatibility decisions.

The mod README is particularly useful here: it distinguishes claimed support, diagnostic paths and hardware that the author has actually tested. Its RTX 40 route lacks on-hardware data from the author. My own successful run adds an anecdote; it doesn't fill that coverage gap for the whole series.

What I'd put in the next test

Record resolution, render preset, upscaler mode, driver and mod version. Repeat the same route with FG off, 2X and 4X. Capture frame pacing separately from displayed FPS, then measure input latency with a method that actually covers the input-to-display path.

That would make the 320 number much more useful than a prediction about what a new CEO might unlock.
