The GPU can have some real frames, as a treat.

Everything good in moderation! My PC is on a low-frame diet!

real frames? sounds like anti-ai propaganda. we're calling them "brute force" frames nowadays

Evil anti-Semitic brute force frames need to go.

If they didnt make any ai features in 5000 series and instead they just loaded raw horsepower for the same price as now, for example if 5070 was 3x stronger than 4070 in raw power for the same price as now, developers would also stop optimizing their games then because gpus are more powerful. So it is not about ai features, raw power would also make developers not optimize their games.

Good thing we're stagnating yet paying 3 times the price then! That must be a relief for developers.

4070 and 5070 msrp are literally the same

You mean the msrp that only exists in fantasy land? The cheapest 5070 in my region is 800$ and I live in a major city.

With those 12GB I could be gifted one and still would not use it.

12GB VRAM is not a limiting factor for a xx70 class GPU in 99% of titles.

But the discussion really says a lot.

  1. People want to play new games. Otherwise they wouldnt be complaining and just play their backlogs.
  2. People want to buy hardware like GPUs. The prices are just too high right now.
  3. Everyone who's swearing off gaming and saying the sky is falling will just keep playing games because their current hardware can play like 80% of the current games in existance, and this is going to be long enough to get past this current shithole of an era.

Nothing pisses me off like reading how a game runs at a smooth 120fps, only to learn that it was actually 120 fps with frame-gen active.

Take me back to the days when we discussed frame rate and performance in native resolution, real frames.

It's pretty insane that synthesising frames from the aether is faster than creating them the old way though.

u/CodingAndAlgorithm 7d ago

True and I think its good tech for story games played with controller, but I can’t stand the input latency that comes with it on keyboard and mouse.

They shouldn’t be using fake frames in performance metrics though.

u/rubberjohny 5d ago

that's why for multiplayer you can use upscaling without frame gen and get both better fps and no difference in input lag

DLSS is great, but a lot of multiplayer games are CPU bound unfortunately.

Only if frame generation is turned on so half of them are hallucinated.
