    I’ve noticed a trend already with tech reviewers trying to sell that, actually massive AI upscaling and fake AI frames are actually a good thing! And they’re now this new metric Nvidia pulled out it’s ass that reviewers at pointing to of line a supposed 80% of users, use DLSS. No days if Nvidia turned it on (via there crap 3rd party app), encouraged it to be in by default in games, etc. no mention how they got this telemetry data either, if it’s even real. I know I personally turn DLSS in all forms off.

    I can’t help but feel like this $2000 card is now like an $800 card once you strip away the ‘AI’ bullshit.

      I genuinely believe that some AI enhancement, a la DLSS, is the future. I’m very wary of frame generation, and that said, i do NOT think it or frame generation should be used in the advertised increase.

      Personally, the AI bs makes it worth less, it’d be an $800 without, add it in and now we’re in the sub $200 range. We can only hope that since they keep overpricing their bullshit, eventually the market won’t be there, and they’ll step out of the game or make a reasonable product for a reasonable price.
