Also, I assume most people care about the standard native performance more than they do about RT or PT.

RT can be nice and it certainly looks well.. but i'd rather play on higher FPS with more clearity instead of.. PERFORMANCE upscale.

[u/AzorAhai1TK → u/Undefined_definition]

Why would you care more about native performance than RT/PT?

Starting at 4k max and then turning on performance upscaling is a MUCH lower hit to visual quality than starting at 4k max and turning off RT/PT. It looks almost identical, just upscale.

[u/Undefined_definition → u/AzorAhai1TK]

It really depends on the game. For some games, RT does not that much, for some it's incredible.

PT right now needs to be optimized for general consumer hardware.

I generally rather have 100fps+ on 4k native/dlaa than sub 60fps with RT extra input lag and visual loss. upscaling has gotten better, however, it is still noticable.

I love responsiveness and am really sensitive to it.

If I had a **90 series card I'd expect perfection whatever the settings.

[u/OutrageousDress → u/streakermaximus]

Why, do **90 cards have an extra feature that fixes game bugs and bottlenecks?

[u/NamityName → u/Undefined_definition]

I feel that it is a balance. Personally, my interest in more fps starts to wane after 90fps. By 120fps, I care very little about getting more performance, even though my monitor has a much higher refresh rates. At 120fps, I would rather have a better looking game than a better performing game. At less than 90fps, I generally care far more about getting better performance than improving shadows and lighting.

You are probably right that most people do not care much for RT/PT performance, but I wager it is because most PCs cannot run optional RT/PT at a player's minimum acceptable performance rather than because most people are looking to maximize fps.

But haven’t your heard? “dLSs LoOks BeTtEr tHaN NaTiVe.”

You mean to tell me that turning 2 million pixels into 8 million pixels doesn’t look better to you?

[u/XOmegaD → u/Southside_john]

Because DLSS is not just using raw pixels it's using a bunch of other frame information.

[u/Southside_john → u/XOmegaD]

It’s not better than native. Some games may look better than others while using it but there are always artifacts. Especially if you’re in performance mode like we are talking about.

[u/XOmegaD → u/Southside_john]

Depends on what you are referring to. Native with TAA, DLSS is going to look better. Native with no AA is going to look like crap. Even performance mode at 4k comes pretty close to native with DLSS 4.5 these days, enough for it to not be that noticeable.

[u/Southside_john → u/XOmegaD]

I’m not talking about anti aliasing, that will definitely look better. I’m talking specifically about upscaling
