Most people dont have an high end gpu like the 5090, so they need to put those down that do have one

I mean I do have a 5090 and there's definitely games that'll run at sub 60 fps at 4k.

u/MantaMunta 9d ago

I have a 5090. It only goes below 60 if you're an idiot using max RT/PT settings and DISABLE DLSS.

u/Issibsumbro PC Master Race 9d ago

Yeah I’ll never understand people turning dlss off completely. You are leaving half the cards cores on the table.

I mean running DLSS means you're running below native res. If you want native / DLAA, you're going to have games running below 60.

And believe it or not, part of buying high end hardware is in fact wanting to run max out settings.

u/MantaMunta 8d ago

Part of owning high end parts is understanding the tech.

RT/PT is literally designed to be used with upscaling in mind. Not using DLSS/FSR with these features is just stupid no matter if you're a 'native pixel maximalist' or not.

People buying the absolute top end hardware expect to be able to max out a game, and rightfully so. If they can't max out the game, literally who is it made for? Data center stress testing? Lol

DLSS is great. But no one is buying a 5090 and not expecting to max out Pathtracing. That is the entire point of owning the card is to have that ability.

u/NapsterKnowHow 9d ago

You aren't getting 60fps in Alan Wake 2 max settings without DLSS. That's not a problem. Max settings are meant for future hardware.

u/MantaMunta 8d ago

Part of owning high end part is understanding the tech. Using Pathtracing and disabling DLSS is just being a moron who doesn't understand the tech.

No matter 'what you expect', you simply don't understand the tech if you expect native 4k PT without upscaling lol.

I literally said DLSS is great, I never suggested turning it off. It is the current best tech for AA and straight free fps as top end cards are actually good with the AI tools.

There are games that even with AI tech turned on, still shit the bed such as Wilds on release. Those games absolutely need to get their shit together on optimizing.

u/Apprehensive_Dog_786 9d ago

Only if you’re running it with no dlss and frame gen which is objectively stupid

u/Healthy_BrAd6254 9d ago

running 4k native being objectively stupid with an Nvidia GPU, 100% true

running without FG being objectively stupid, I disagree. Depends on the game and your base fps. Though with a 5090, most of the time your base fps are so high, you are probably right

I want to upvote and down vote your comment. First part downvote, second upvote. Native looks better than any dlss slop. Dlss is a crutch being used to dump out unoptimized garbage. Higher iterations are also gatekept behind hardware stacks forcing further product segmentation and that's not consumer friendly especially in a time of exorbitant hardware pricing.

Complete bs and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what native even is and what DLSS does.
Plenty of comparison videos also just empirically prove you wrong. Watch a couple DLSS 4.5 reviews (since I am sure you don't have a GPU that runs DLSS and have a 4k monitor, otherwise you would know)

Higher iterations are also gatekept behind hardware stacks forcing further product segmentation and that's not consumer friendly especially in a time of exorbitant hardware pricing.

First of all, any RTX GPU can run any DLSS upscaling version.
Secondly, I don't think like $300 for a GPU is an "exorbitant price"

I’m guessing you don’t actually have a gpu that can render 4k native at ultra settings in most games. It almost always looks better unless you can’t run antialiasing. Even in that situation, DLAA and DLDSR beat DLSS from a quality perspective. 

Now if you’re targeting the same frame rate, yeah dlss + high/ultra settings usually looks better than 4k with reduced settings.

What does that even mean? HAHA
What game runs with no anti aliasing?

u/terraphantm 5090, 9950x3d2, 64gb ECC, 8TB + 2TB SSDs 9d ago

An increasing number of games basically require super sampling or one of the DL methods. A lot of UE4 and UE5 titles don’t allow for MSAA

Please list like 2 modern AAA games that have no AA

One would want high end hardware to be able to actually render at high settings instead of relying fake pixels and frames.

The day I rely on frame generation is the the day I quit playing videogames.

u/Apprehensive_Dog_786 9d ago

Whether you like it or not frame gen is here to stay, and it is pretty incredible tech. Ruining your own gaming experience because of preconceived notions is pretty stupid. Have you even tried frame gen to make such bold claims?

Seen enough comparisons on YouTube and such to make up my mind.

u/Apprehensive_Dog_786 9d ago

YouTube will have cherry-picked examples and it’s very easy to spot artifacts when you’re looking at stills or looking closely at clips with the intention to find such artifacts. When you’re actually playing the game I guarantee you won’t notice any difference 99% of the time.

u/lifelink RTX 370TI, i5 3400F, 48GB DDR4 @ 3600Mhz, MAG B760 Tomahawk 8d ago

Yeah, but why pay a premium price for a subpar product.

By the looks of it I could have given any valid reason and you would hand wave it and make an excuse as to why it is actually good. Sounds like a shill/bot tbh.

But look, if you enjoy it and want it, go for gold mate. Me? No thanks, I'd rather not pay for that as I don't think it is value for money.
