Perhaps maybe you should look at the facts rather than attacking people.
A. Reviewers make build choices that may negatively impact performance, most of this is not purposefully slanted. That said, a good read of the reviewers guide should show which systems setups a vendor prefers to make theirs shine.... might be worth having more than 1 platform to test on to make sure you are not accidentally biasing. It's a shitton of work and I wouldn't expect it out of day 1 reviews. The performance engineer in me always wants to ensure validity of test cases.
B. RTX is cool but early, DLSS is... fuck I turn off motion blur why would I want this shiite.
C. This is a RTX showcase title... They delayed the game to make it a game works title, this game may not have made it to production without nvidia money.
So yes it is definitely going to be AMD deoptimised... but we probably wouldn't get to play it without that money.
D. there is a reason why you shouldn't rely on a single site, but you should definitely take anomalies with a grain of salt and try to identify why they are different. Never start with the assumption of fudging numbers... Reviewing is hard work. If I recall... there was a site giving amd (cpu) much better numbers because they turned off high precision timer or something which boosted amd a touch and was very detrimental to intel... so once again, configs are VERY important.
E. Plenty of reasons to wait a year for this game... /thread.
I am happy to see my 1080ti will still have a great experience tho.
And the other rig with vega64 on freesync will also be okish.
Much akin to popular digital music with exaggerated bass and trebel to make them sound better of the $15 sound systems on phones, Budget MoBos and boom boxes ... played in a hi end audiophile system, they and people are almost runing outta the room holding their ears. It's "uncomfortable to say the least". So it's not just that devs have to adjust how they render images to use the ray tracing as a feature, they have to rethink the artificial adjustments that they have been using over the years to make scenes look better ... because the scene was not rendering properly with regard to lighting effects, that scene would be overly bright. Now by only allowing light effects to be painted from transparaent surfaces, much of the light coming in that scene is now blocked by opaque surfaces. It really shows further down in thet shed scene ... but I like what the review did there showing the pimples along with the clear skin. With accurate lighting effects it's ging to matter where and how big your light sources are and faking it to get desired lighting levels won't work anymore.
