serie S 8GB vs One X with 12GB :toast:
Correction 10GB vs 12GB with a inferior CPU and GPU

honestly I feel like this just amplifies the use of FSR and DLS. If more games implement it this wouldn’t be an actual issue.

and they work pretty well to say the least.

Uh? When did it get faster?
Release timeframes for the content, he means.

They want more, in less time. If you wanted us to program Pokemon Red or something today, we could probably do it well and quickly. But no one asks for that. They want that level of gameplay 3d and raytraced in the same release window. It just doesn't happen, something's gotta give.
