Yea I am not too big into the whole drama when it comes to twitter/youtube etc. I think both the youtube dude and the twitter people that he mentions are all dumb in their own way. The youtube dude thinks that a 3060 was supposed to be a step up from a 2070 while the twitter people trying to justify the prices had very dumb responses.

And yea, the comment section had plenty of dumb responses too.

As for the fake frames, because it's an optional feature, I don't see too much of an issue with it. Path tracing is very heavy even for the 4090 and we are generations away from a fully path traced game so adding in an option of Ai generated fake frames is fine as long as it's optional. 4090s don't need DLSS 3 to have merit, it's Raster performance is one of the biggest generational leaps we have seen in the history of GPUs. But I agree the issue with the pricing. $1200 for 4080 is too much and the $1600 for a 4090 only really looks good because of the terrible price of the 4080.

And yea, the sub 4080s are gonna be shat too.

I just feel like there should be someone there to call ppl out on dumb shit and whenever ppl simp hardcore for something that's...well, bad.

I don't watch Alex's content all the time, but seeing a pot shot taken at PC gamers from a PC gamer is like a bit of fresh air to me, because a good chunk fo the past few decades has been "PC sucks, it's for basement dweller nerds" from console gamers and that's gotten beyond stale to see still going on, that calling that equally dumb shit has become the norm.

I know it's optional, but to me it feels like part sacrilege and part band-aid, instead of what we previously relied upon (that being brute force power). DLSS 1-2 was going alright with it's trajectory, but 3 just feels like "that thing that animators really loathe?, yeah that's do that and stick with it", because let's be honest with ourselves here, if they can get away with 3.0, why would they ever want to go back to brute forcing perf or what 1-2.0 were like?.

I'm also really, super hardcore not a fan of ppl pulling the least empathy outta their ass with shit like "you broke as fuck not to buy one", rather than being a sane and rational person and contest the price (like you do, which shows you have empathy for others). I see this with things like $70 game prices, prices for gamepads (looking at you £70 Joycons), and scalped consoles, like the world we are living in rn is def not getting better in terms of affordability (unless you look at gamepass I guess?), and I wish ppl would wake up to the fact that while we are paying more, companies aren't going broke and are making more money now than ever.

Like I really hope to god that AMD does something this gen, because holy shit are Nvidia and the less empathetic twats on social media setting a bad precedent with tossing money into a bottomless pit.
