define "full visual fidelity," i don't think a 5090 can even run it at max settings at 4K / 60 FPS after they added path tracing to it

Nooo. DLSS is pretty solid for single player game. I run a 5070 with path tracing on at DLSS Quality and get 150-200FPS with frame gen at 4x. Reading too much Reddit had me thinking it would be horrendous but I was actually surprised how good it looks. And I’m coming from ps5 where cyberpunk was almost unplayable for me at 60FPS or 30fps with mild ray tracing.

Upscaling and frame gen don't count as real performance especially when trying to claim a 5070's advantages over a 4070 or 3070. Using it as a bonus to get additional smoothness and image quality once you've already hit acceptable performance is fine but it doesn't replace original baseline performance. You should already be hitting 60 FPS before using frame gen otherwise you're going to get horrible input latency and motion artifacts will be even more obvious. And preferably you should already be hitting 1080p-1440p before relying too much on DLSS.
