I had a peek at the RTX 4060 reviewer guide. NVIDIA tells reviewers to focus on DLSS + frame gen/hallucination, that's where their GPU shines & justifies its price tag. Also NVIDIA: Refusing to pay studios to add RTX DLSS in PC ports. 👌 RTX consumer: It's AMD's fault! 🤡

@HardwareUnboxed I think your commentary is spot on, particularly for mid-range GPUs. RTX is nice, in all of 3 games. Sadly, perf hit is still far too great. The solution isn't just DLSS 2.0 btw, it isn't perfect either, lots of visual artifacts, that reviewers tend to also gloss over.

I am one of those people who bought a 3700X and cheap AM4 MB. At the time, the 9900K + Intel board price total was about 2x. The 9900K was ~10-20% faster @ 1080p. Tuned, it can get up to 25% faster at 720p. But was it worth 2x? Nope. The nice thing, I can slot in 5800X3D..

None of this would be an issue if Jensen wasn't so fixated on planned obsolescence. We've had mainstream GPUs with 8GB vram since 2016. Polaris, RX 480. The 3070Ti is massively more powerful, yet still given 8GB vram. Worse, are consumers so blinded, they defend NVIDIA.

NVIDIA consumer: AMD paid developers not to include NVIDIA proprietary tech!! It is so incredibly stupid given the fact NV's revenue & profit margins allow them to play this "sponsor" game far better. The question begs, why isn't NV paying more $ to get exclusive RTX PC ports??

@silkyjohns0n420 If it's a matter of paying off devs, do you realize NVIDIA has much more cashflow to play this game? A game they used to excel at, for those with short memories.

Was it a common sentiment back then that 2700X would age better than 8700K? How is that logical? 6c/12t with more IPC, more clocks, lower latency vs slower 8c/16t, assuming full utilization (rare), the 8700K will still be slightly ahead given its latency advantage in gaming.

What people still don't get, is if AMD had designed RDNA3 to be excellent both raster & RT & efficient, they would NOT be charging much lower prices than NV. Thus, there will be little competition on perf/$, little incentive for Jensen to lower price or SKU naming.

It's hard to argue the RX6500XT isn't one of the worse GPUs.. It's supposedly a leap from last-gen RX 5500, but ends up slower, massively with gen3 bus which most gamers are on. Overpriced, poor current perf, 4GB vram offers zero longevity. Nothing redeeming.

You could say the same for 12900K/S. The majority DIY will buy 5600, 5700X, 12400, 12600K etc. Even these CPUs are overkill for gaming when the avg GPU is 3060. Flagship CPU & GPUs are not high volume. It's high margins & bragging rights, or in corporate speak, mindshare.
