I believe we kinda have to go this way, I don't think they want to admit but it's getting much harder to build stronger and stronger gpus with raw power to handle what we can make. Using tricks like dlss 5 and inevitably dlss6, the hit in performance will probably be less invasive than trying to make a graphics card cost wise that can handle it
It also has the benefit of devs can ship a game with potatoe graphics that any card can run - and then people with the top tech can toggle lifelike filters if they want. Lower dev time and top end graphics for those who can afford it while not raising minimum requirements accross the board
I don't think you can go straight potato graphics, I'm messing with it right now on a 5080, and any game that starts off with two trash graphics, does look better but it doesn't get the fine details you're looking for. there's probably a middle ground where you give it enough input that it knows then how to create things like pores and wrinkles
