AMD Also Working to Bring Integer Scaling to Its Driver Suite

[Apocalypsee]

I just love how suddenly AMD fans praise this, when just few days earlier Radeon Image Sharpening was so much better than that Nvidia's gimmick. Same story as always.
I can't wait for AMD's RTRT launch.

Because these games simply don't offer 4K resolution, so scaling from 1080p is necessary.

That said, the likely reason why Nvidia added integer scaling was not because of retro games, but because of RTRT even many 2080Ti owners would decide to fall back to 1080p.
And 1080p with RTX and integer scaling looks really well on 4K monitors.
AMD is going to add RTRT in the next generation, so it makes a lot of sense to bundle integer scaling as well.

That's really funny to use RTX2080Ti forced to use 1080p just to enable RTRT, and then use integer scaling to 4k

You know why people praise this? When AMD makes this its highly likely supported for all generations of card instead of tying this to latest generation of cards.

RTRT completely changes how games look. You may like it or not - that's not the point of this discussion.
If someone values picture realism over pixels, RTRT is totally worth dropping resolution from 4K to 1080p. And integer scaling is there to keep the picture crisp and great - just slightly less detailed.
There's really nothing funny here.

Actually people praise this because it's from AMD. Because everything AMD does is good, while everything their competition does is poor or greedy or stupid. That's it.

I've tried Metro Exodus with RTRT, nothing groundbreaking there. Not worth downgrading resolution over it. RTRT is still in infancy, it will take a few iterations before we get sufficient performance with major IQ differences

Its just you and some other in this board who get worked out when AMD is mentioned. Why don't you just accept there is fans for both sides and done with it.

Yes it does change how game look but it has a long way to go with what the RT is now and what it should be (at least what I wish it to be). Cool feature but I disagree with you that RT is worth dropping from 4k to 1080p for the game to be playable (sort of, depending on the graphics card). Lets see what NV will do in 2020 to support this RT. I'm talking about the new series of NV cards. What will be the performance uplift in comparison to 2000 series and price of course. This will tell a lot about the company intentions for RT support.
