There is this trend after the 50 series announcement that people who are fed up with badly optimized games, blame features like dlss and framegen for it.
So what is the solution? Make bad GPUs so Devs are forced to optimise and use workarounds like the old days?
The whole dlss suite (and other companies' equivalents) is a great tool when used correctly and bashing it because of Devs not optimising their games( for a plethora of other reasons such as deadlines, shareholder expectations etc) is in all honesty . For better or for worse Nvidia has no competition at the top in the GPU space. They have no real reason to make huge advancements on hardware side. No one can compete with their top of the line GPUs especially when they are accompanied but the best feature set of any competitor.
What they do is invest in technologies that improve the user experience and of course that is going to translate in a more expensive product.
I understand the uproar about the 5070=4090 thing. Nvidia understood it too, that's why they slowly released the benchmarks they did. But if I can play a game like cyberpunk at 1440p at 240 FPS using 220w at a price point that is kind of affordable( 550 for a GPU is still a lot of money especially in countries outside the US where it's more expensive) , then I will take that everyday.
I like the dlss suite and I think it's one of the best things to have happened in the gaming space. I have a 4070 super and just got a huge free upgrade. I play god of war Ragnarok with lossless scaling at X3 and get 240 FPS. ( New dlss and frame gen give me around 200 too). And all that with a undervolt that runs the GPU at 150w. It's a great technology and I can't wait to see where it goes.
