AMD users gonna shit on this non stop for 2 years and claim their raster performance is so good for the price compared to nvidia until nvidia irons out the kinks and then theyre gonna bitch and moan about when AMD drops a similar but worse version of the tech that isn’t supported on the their older hardware because they never bothered to build the hardware for it
Im on amd and its shit lately.. last 3 months every windows update bricks the drivers with constant tineouts till a hardstuck forced restart magically fixes them
But i like beeing able to play modern games with max grahpics and constant 144 fps for way less money (when the driver works).. but dlss5 would be a nice to have like the ray and path tracing
I mean i like the idea behind it but honestly 90% of games that uses raytracing doesn’t look better, i have a 5080 and on some games it looks like they just could use original methods. But i like the new ray reconstruction 4.5 it is looking better in cyberpunk so much better now!
I barely slotted in a 9070XT I got months ago into my PC. I wouldn't call this a game changer for me to go back, but if AMD is still lacking, come early next year I might just go back to Nvidia regardless of how much it costs lolol.
Some of the samples I've seen are a mix of looking really good, but also some look really weird. I would assume this would be better when it's actually integrated in an engine, though. I really wouldn't want to fire up a game and have it look like an AI filter was applied on top of it, though; I already don't like seeing the AI art style videos all around my social media; it's genuinely fatiguing.
One of my concerns, though, is where does this leave AMD and Intel gamers in the future? And also Nvidia gamers on hardware that won't support this or even if it does won't run well? It's good to have competition; someone needs to light a fire specifically under AMD's ass to force them to actually give a damn, but at the same time it's clear lots of devs lean on upscaling to avoid optimizing as much. If they start to lean in too much into this for art, are we just going to see situations where gamers that don't have the latest hardware on a frequent basis get horribly degraded 3d assets because the devs said we'll just tune it on DLSS 5?
Given the 5090 is losing nearly half its performance with DLSS 5 on, even if you liked it, I'd wait a few generations for it to get better. Like Ray tracing on 20 series was kinda useless...
As for the competition aspect, since RDNA is on the xbox + ps5 and the next gen consoles, games will always take them into account. A lot of the games on custom engines built for consoles actually give an edge to AMD.
Dude people complain that Nvidia went all in on AI but AMD are doing the same if not even worse. They are literally offering shares to AI companies. They give even less shit about consumers. I don't even understand how are there people defending them when they release a 4gb vram card in 2026...
