Except that's not true. To max out quite a few modern games even on a 4090 you need DLSS

GMostly due to games offering some ridiculous total path tracing mode granted
Pdid you miss the very last 3 words of this sentence
DNot yet, 4090 is still the highest. And in 5 years, we get to finally use the Vegeta DBZ meme.
Pand this is full of shit. nvidia didn't "create this problem". the reason we need these stopgaps is because artists are looking for a solution to lighting problems that are fundamental to how renderers have been developed for the last 30 years
Praytracing isn't some new fancy shit
GThe next years?
Pdon't be intellectually dishonest

www.qwrt.de - Video of a ray traced version of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars. The ray traced port has been done by the Intel ray tracing research group.
KReal-time frame rates, 16 years ago
KGranted I think this was on larabee
KAnd that died to death
KAnd took project offset with it, Intel I'll never forgive you
Pthe entire fucking point is that modern day artists want their lighting model to work naturally and not require 500 hours of fucking around to make every scene look acceptable
GThat water looks crazy for the time.
Pwe are developing the hardware capabilities to do this
Pnvidia's raytracing cores are not some kind of special proprietary shit either, all they do is run simd operations
Pamd are on the backfoot because instead of dedicating space to that they will just use regular compute operations to the same effect
GDamn that really sucks, because modern gamers want to not need a 800 dollar GPU to play games
Pright
Pso play different games
Por buy a machine that can handle games that you will play ten years from now
Plike a playstation 5
Pthere isn't some irony in this
KRetracing will be here one day, I just find it to be dishonest we're running games at a quarter or less the resolution on $1,000 GPUs to get playable framerates
ZGames that requires ray tracing stuff doesn't feel like is done to last
Pyour ten year old hardware is still fine for 99% of games and raytracing isn't some boogieman
KOr, worse, implementing half measures where only some effects are ray traced
Pit's too early but you can't fault artists and developers too much if they're going to end up being forced into learning to work with the tech anyway
Pwe're not talking about 30 years away anymore
BI never really used the ray tracing thing 
granted I don't think it dramatically improves the games I typically play anyways.
granted I don't think it dramatically improves the games I typically play anyways.Pit's like ten years and we're going to have the same cycle we have every other ten years
Pwhere "oh wow the GPUs are getting OP omg guys!!!!"
Peverybody shit their pants over the titan and the 1080 and the 2080ti super or whatever tf they call them at this point'
Pare we really gonna act like shit isn't picking up speed
MI like upscaling tech I don't really care much for framegen tho
Pi find upscaling is ok to play around with when i don't like the AA some games provide
Pi prefer to just run stuff at native 4k though :v
Pno AA
GYeah I think this was the major issue. Like I don't care if people want to include ray tracing but if it decimates performance to such a degree then what's the point
Pthe point is they're doing it for their own good this time around
Pat some level you have to pick a team and if they want to pick team "not learn 30 year old shit if i don't have to" then fuck yeah why not
MOf course native all the way and I usually play native 4k but sometimes flipping on the quality setting just works for my eyes if the fps is that bad
Pa reminder that we went from doom 1 to doom 3 in about ten years and people had the same problems when doom 3 came out where the entire reason it was called doom 3 is because only 3 people can run it
MI love buying a new gpu just to play old titles and emulated games 
KI love to run my old games at 4K
KI live to get 200+ FPS at all times
Bnothing better than some SNES at 4k
Pguys it's finally time
Ptime to play half life 2 again
Pin amazing quad HD resolution
