Testing across games like Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Hogwarts Legacy, and Oblivion Remastered shows that while MFG can significantly boost performance, its effectiveness is dependent on the game's inherent performance and the user's hardware, with competitive gamers likely to avoid it due to latency concerns.
