Nvidia says over 80% of GeForce RTX GPU owners use DLSS
You don't say. Kinda hard to avoid if it's now a requirement to run anything.
Yeah, no shit.
You present two choices: 65fps with DLSS, or 28 FPS without it, then yes, 80% of people will no-shit-sherlock pick the higher number.
Translation: We were successful into bribing our way into the development scene to have games be unoptimised, driving sales and margins up, thus pleasing shareholders. We're still shit at making server blades and connectors though, as seen by the thousands of cancelled blackwell server orders in favour of the older Hopper, given blackwell is a fire hazard. Thank you regarded gamers for buying our low VRAM trash so we will never be made to pay for our fuck ups.
Edit: added sauces
Because most of the users don't know how to turn that shit off in AAA games. It's often just defaults to being on, no?
Also I thought DLSS is supposed to help with underspecced PC-s to help run modern games. So this is a self burn in a way, either RTX cards are not as performant as hoped, or the AAA games sector is just fucked, as they cannot for the life of them pump out an optimized game.
If you buy and Nvidia card you "pay" for DLSS, since it works by using specific material hardware inside the GPU for the job.
If you buy a Intel or AMD GPU you don't neither pay for FSR and XESS
Intel has specific hardware for XESS on their GPUs which is why other GPUs running XESS have to use the DP4a path instead of XMX
Fuck Nvidia. Buy AMD and be a patient gamer. You'll never need DLSS or anything like it if you sit a couple years behind the leading edge. You'll get cheaper cards, cheaper games, and flawless performance on ultra settings.
I've operated this way since 2015 and have no plan to stop.
Can you give an actual example because it makes no sense to me if you buy (for example) 2 gens old cards to play games that released 2 gens ago and you somehow get flawless performance with the highest settings? Just doesn't make sense unless you're omitting some key information like overclocking or not actually using raytracing etc.
I use AMD now because I migrated from Win to Linux last year.
I didn't play The Witcher 3 until 2022. I had a Radeon HD 4890 until 2022 when I bought my first and last Nvidia card, a 2060. The 2060 could run it well enough that I never had to care about the gfx settings.
Because I switched to Linux and enjoyed it so much, I purchased a more modern card this time around to future-proof my PC. I got a 7800XT. I'm hoping I can get at least 6-7 years out of it before upgrading.
You are attemptijg to justify the features that you don't have so that you don't look as bad and trying to make others lower their way of thinking to try to make them give up features that you believe nobody on the planet can use since you don't use it. You're making a self serving argument trying to take away people's right to choose what they want to buy and not making an objective analysis.
For example, I use NVENC encoding for recording 4 times a week. The 50-series has a new NVENC hardware encoder and decoder. How is AMD's encoder for recording in comparison to nVidia?
I bought a 2000 Camry to drive instead of a high end GPU, so yeah I need upscaling. It'll still be useful in 10 years too.
...good call, that camry gets infinite FPS at infinite resolution and dynamic range; enjoy!..
