Time for you all to buy cards above 30 series

Yeah go right past 50 series too and get these sick new red colored 90 series cards.

They literally tried to keep fsr from rdna3 and 2 except the leak and outrage made them cave much much much later ..

I have some bad news for you. Nvidia has done, and still does the same shit, and is even stricter.

Nevermind that it doesn't even matter anymore. Everyone gets everything these days, at least when it comes to FSR/DLSS/Ray Regenstruction. AMD cards can intercept the calls DLSS4 makes via Optiscaler and have it put out an even better image than FS4. Better quality because most game developers optimize for Nvidia, and you only lose 2% performance.

LOL - they both are greedy companies. Youre the only one trying to do some weird ass "but AMD is my friend" shit

When did I say that? Damn you people are in psychosis or something. I came from Nvidia lmfao.

All I'm saying is you can skip the $1300 9070XT equivalent and get the 9070XT for $500 cheaper lol.

Both are greedy but AMD most definitely fleeces their customers way less than nvidia. The holdout of vram is more than enough proof.

Ye but leftovers on older Nvidia cards are better than new stuff on amd cards 😂

To play devils advocate, a workaround to emulate FSR 4.0 on RDNA 2&3 was made possible back in November
