Go read any review w1z has ever made. DLSS being the superior tech is also a stated fact.
....
So...point of discussion. W1z states that there is no DLSS, then immediately launches into the "I know it's an Nvidia exclusive feature." It's almost like the defensiveness is based upon knowing that both DLSS and FSR are competing ways to do the same thing...which is inherently to guess at what frames 2-6 are when you've got 1 and 7. They are great if you're running a build that is nominally capable of the raw output you need to generate the actual frames...but it's kind of like our step-up in performance is being derived exclusively from whichever guessing algorithm you want to pretend is best. W1z inherently believes that DLSS is better...while I believe that nearly two decades on from its introduction as the mainstream anything should be able to do 1080p that is billed as a dedicated GPU...and 4k has been theoretically possible since the 30x0 series from Nvidia at playable framerates.
I personally don't want FSR or DLSS. It's a way to hoodwink the stupid, like those older shooters that "fixed" performance issues by using a narrowed FOV. I don't know about you, but those shooters wound up giving me a splitting headache over time. Likewise, the vaseline and prayers of frame interpolation to generate "smoother" motion to me is silly. This is especially true when hardware from the 30x0 generation is supposed to be way slower than the new 50x0 generation, but can still put up 144+ FPS at 2560x1440.
This is why I'm looking forward to the Nvidia vs AMD fight at the middle-high end cards....that used to just be the middle end. I don't care about the halo products because they can't justify their price for gaming, and they inevitably require so much power that the might as well be a space heater. If Nvidia and AMD can put out cards that actually perform at about the same level, for the $550 price, then maybe we've got some hope. My fear with this level of delay is that cards already in retailer hands will not remain boxed. My fear is that Nvidia setting the new pricing for these cards will mean that AMD is only confident in their product if it undercuts the Nvidia price, which means they think they aren't competing as a good product. This is already a generation where they said they want to focus on the future...but in the here and now we should be getting 3080 performance on 5060 costing. What I see is two companies playing chicken for who releases the only competing high end cards of this generation...and neither believes their card has enough inherent value to stand on its own.
Side note though, the team read and team green nonsense in this thread has been amusing to no end. I drink value brand kool-aid, so I've got another 3-6 months before these start being discounted in any significant way, unless the pricing is so wonky that either brand cannot move off store shelves. That...should not happen so soon after the last time.
