Buying a Gaming PC

[spatular]

having never tried it i am a bit wary of the frame generation stuff especially this new one where they're using so many ai generated frames, be interesting to give it a go at some point and see what reviews make of it.

maf, we're still going to have the best graphics cards, ain't nobody getting a 5090

The one, key, advantage the 4090 has over the 5090 is at least you can fucking buy one

 

 Also watched a bit of the DF review on the 5090 today. It is soundly better from what I can tell, but also a bit disappointing? A 5090 runs Cyberpunk 4K native with full RT at about 30fps. Now I understand realistically you would always use DLSS or something but the point is i thought it would be more impressive than that? It seems like the current way they make their graphics cards is big diminishing returns? I guess they don’t care because DLSS is their baby and they want you to use it. And it’s great, and that’s fine. But a 4090 already runs Cyberpunk 4K upscaled full RT at over 100fps so…why? Just to get 200fps?
 

Huge, raw, horse power upgrade still needs AI for good performance - but the AI is turning a 100fps game to a 200fps game which seems redundant?
 

I didn’t watch the whole video. But this is what it looked like to me.

 

DF also put out a video about the upcoming improvements in things like more complex Ray tracing and other stuff they saw at CES. Maybe when that stuff is released the 5090 makes more sense but right now it looks like nearly £2000 for an extra 100 AI generated frames. 
 

You can tell by the way I talk about it this is not something I know very well. Maybe I missed something but this is how it struck me
