/r/funnyandsad people are living in smaller homes than ever before because they cant afford to buy large ones so they are forced to downsize to smaller space saving Christmas tree.

Ya it's good for low end I agree with that, but should be avoided for high end. If I spend 1000+ on a video card I want high performance and true high quality.
You don't see photographers asking for upscaling, you do see photographers asking for higher resolution, less compression, hdr, and ai for auto focus and other things.
I think highend photography and highend graphics have alot in common and the graphics is guided by photography

lol? You sound mad. "Making progress" isn't very useful to someone who needs a GPU today.

You act like FSR isn't making progress as well. Oh well, can't help if you already drank the Kool Aid! Enjoy your overpriced fire hazard.

DLSS isn't perfect, but FSR is even worse. And DLSS keeps getting better with each revision. They're nowhere near close in image quality or features.

This is from July of this year. Driver issues haven't been a thing for AMD in quite some time, bub.

I spent $1500 on a 4MB graphics adapter (Fujitsu sapphire 2) when I was 16. It was 1995. Do you know how many lawns I had to mow? The industry hasn’t gone this way, it’s the way it’s been. Consumers are just dumb 16 year olds that value the dumbest things.

FSR is a competitor to DLSS, as much as some don't want to admit it, the quality differences are minor (and getting slimmer with each revision).
CUDA matters not at all to gamers. nVidia keeps trying to walk the line between a consumer (gaming) card and "Pro" cards...and the consumer cards never fail to fall seriously short when it comes right down to it.

We had something kind of like that for diesel cars called the scrapped scheme. Its the reason Jeremy Clarkson was able to get a Volvo for £1 in a Top Gear Challange.

upscaling lets you render at much lower resolutions and still maintain most of the quality of rendering native. I am NOT on board with DLSS 3's frame generation BS, though. But the ability for a mid range card to render in "4k" with raytracing is a huge benefit!

Just bought a new MacBook. The PC world is out of control. For what you get, Apple is the better bargain...

Just pick up a 30 series card on black Friday and you'll be fine. The performance per dollar on 40 series is stupid bad. Let the scalpers waste their money. You can easily play any game 144fps at 1440p with 30 series.

I would love to buy a 7900XTX in December, but realistically speaking the scalpers are going to make that borderline impossible just like the 4090 has been since launch

Reply to Split-in-half artificial Christmas tree proves a festive hit by diacewrb
That's kinda neat. In the small ass studio I used to rent my sister came to visit around the holidays and was very disappointed in my lack of decoration
Bought a $5 string of lights and used thumb tacks poked into the wall to create a "2D" Christmas tree looking design zig zagging the lights back and forth. Was surprisingly festive
