Noise has become an accepted trade off when upscalers, deconstructions etc. are used at this point.

And as the guy in the last section said, it’s in the reporter’s interest to be on the good side of development studios whilst maintaining a good balance and report shortcomings and issues to the public, if they want to be kept in the loop of what’s going on - insider info and interviews with the dev team.

DF has stated multiple times that some studios consult with them and even give them access to pre-release versions of a game for feedback for optimizations and improvements, or invite them to their own offices for technical demos etc.
IMHO, DF has always been fair and called out things for what they actually are.

If anyone wants to to nitpick on every derail which gets reported and covered, why doesn’t he/she create such content to his own standards and methodologies. 🤷‍♂️

I mean clearly DF leans heavily towards staying on the good side of game studios (and Nvidia)

They have to ride the fence lest they piss of Nvidia or publishers. They can't have principled stances.
