J4MES OX4D 10,149 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It's powerful granted, but I wish they would stop using so many artificial elements to inflate performance figures. I miss the days when a card could be tested in its basic form and it would get 60-120fps and a 50% performance boost on the last gen and everyone would be happy. Nowadays its all DLSS + Frame Gen and other factors and sure, a game like Cyberpunk may push out 300fps at ultra settings but with all the back-end upscaling on the card, it's literally just 1080p upscaled 4 times to buggery and the image may end up looking blurred or of a lower quality than if you just ran everything maxed out on a 3080 with all upscaling factors turned off and the resolution flat-native. Yeah, the frames may be cut by two thirds and Nvidia's marketing gets blown to shit but at least it's an honest depiction. Literally going the same way as the iPhone and these gimmick performance bolstering elements exclusive to cards are actually covering up bad optimisation or giving a false experience just to convince users the card is better than it is. I always turn off all this shit even if it means getting XXfps less because I know the image quality will be an accurate representation of the game and not hardware bloat.

phil bottle 9,917 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It's entirely possible that I'll go with something like Geforce Now in future, instead of buying over priced hardware. Nvidia's cloud service let's people play their own games, ie you can access and play your Steam library. Which is massive imo GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11047-geforce-gtx-50905000-range/#findComment-160465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
