1. MSRP of the 2060 is $400 USD.
2. You aren't going to get it at the price regardless
3. $350 is not budget
"RTX2060 is the 5th most popular GPU on Steam with 5% of steam users"
Incorrect, it sits at 3.51%, far less than half the 1060.
"DLSS is the best feature that any FineWine lover could wish for, impressive performance uplift in current day AAA games."
Precisely, "wish for" because it's likely not in the games you are playing.
"In fact if you have the 2060 in an HTPC, you can enjoy games at 4K with medium settings and DLSS Performance mode (well maybe low settings in CP2077). I have transitioned to using 4K 120hz OLED TV for my main PC as well."
DLSS performance mode does cause a degradation is visual quality. So yeah, you can achieve the same with most TV's built in upscaling regardless of DLSS. The difference is that LG's and Samsung's AI upscaling built into their new models aren't limited to a handful of games. I don't know a single person that would purposefully build a HTPC to only play DLSS games. That's just pandering to find a reason to use a feature that's hardly in any games.
"Yes I know that you can actively avoid DLSS games and still have fun, but the opposite is also true, you can look for good games with DLSS support and enjoy them even more when you have DLSS capable hardware, I have played over 10 good games with DLSS already (Control, Crysis Remastered, CP2077, Death Stranding, F1 2020, Ghostrunner, Mech V, Mount&Blade 2, Nioh 2, The Medium, WD Legion)"
Or I can just continue to do what I do and buy games that I think will be fun. That's what gaming is about, maybe you should try it instead of trying to justify a purchase. If a game I play just so happens to have DLSS, that's great (although so far that's only 1). If not, I could not care less.
Do your research better because you are using false information to argue there
1. 2060 MSRP has always been 350usd
2. I got one for 300usd in Jan 2021
3. Budget is whatever the amount you are willing to spend.
4. 2060 is 5.04% in Steam Mar 2021, actually the 2060 is the 4th most popular GPU on Steam and the most popular RTX GPU.
5. I have never seen such mis-informed user, TV upscaling tech in games , yeah right.
6. I can play whatever games I choose to do, whether they have DLSS or not, DLSS just make the gaming experience better because I can use higher graphical settings (like RTX)
7. Like I said I have played over 10 highly rated games with DLSS already, if you can't find any DLSS games to play that's solely on you since you are actively avoid them anyways. I don't have to look for DLSS game specifically because I only play 8/10 or above games and there are plenty of DLSS games that are rated 8/10 and above.
8. DLSS is the future whether you don't like it now, saying so little games use DLSS is like horse riders mocking Karl Benz for making slow car in the beginning .
