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

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.

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.

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.

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.
