Fuck Nvidia. Buy AMD and be a patient gamer. You'll never need DLSS or anything like it if you sit a couple years behind the leading edge. You'll get cheaper cards, cheaper games, and flawless performance on ultra settings.

I've operated this way since 2015 and have no plan to stop.

Translation: We were successful into bribing our way into the development scene to have games be unoptimised, driving sales and margins up, thus pleasing shareholders. We're still shit at making server blades and connectors though, as seen by the thousands of cancelled blackwell server orders in favour of the older Hopper, given blackwell is a fire hazard. Thank you regarded gamers for buying our low VRAM trash so we will never be made to pay for our fuck ups.

Edit: added sauces

You don't say. Kinda hard to avoid if it's now a requirement to run anything.

Yeah, no shit.

You present two choices: 65fps with DLSS, or 28 FPS without it, then yes, 80% of people will no-shit-sherlock pick the higher number.
