Strip away all the fake AI garbage and what you’re left with is something that is only marginally more powerful than the previous generation.
When I spend a fucktillion money on a powerful card, I expect it to be powerful, not have a whole lot of tricks up its sleeve to make it appear powerful.
Precisely this. Nvidia has crawled too far up their own asshole, drank a pint too many of their own marketing snake oil, and made a top-tier flagship product that nobody fucking cares about.
I’ve noticed a trend already with tech reviewers trying to sell that, actually massive AI upscaling and fake AI frames are actually a good thing! And they’re now this new metric Nvidia pulled out it’s ass that reviewers at pointing to of line a supposed 80% of users, use DLSS. No days if Nvidia turned it on (via there crap 3rd party app), encouraged it to be in by default in games, etc. no mention how they got this telemetry data either, if it’s even real. I know I personally turn DLSS in all forms off.
I can’t help but feel like this $2000 card is now like an $800 card once you strip away the ‘AI’ bullshit.
And yet it will be impossible to get one.
5090 -> Gen Z’s Fermi. Change my mind!
