Have I denied that AMD GPUs perform better than Nvidia's with today's drivers? No, I haven't. Why don't we wait until Nvidia launches another driver with further optimizations before we start losing our minds?

Also, I'm not sure if you're written that the way you wanted, but you're right, I haven't been able to find a game where the 3080 is 40% faster than a 6800XT. Max I've found is 26%. Without RT, of course.

The point is that when a game is Radeon sponsored and this isn't just me ranting, this view is shared by many tech journalists out there is the fact that AMD doesn't want to play nice with others. If we look at various Nvidia sponsored titles, the real difference really stems from when Ray Tracing is involved but as we saw with Intel launching their cards and AMD launching RDNA 3, Ray Tracing isn't Nvidia gimping their competitors but rather just a showing of the Ray Tracing capabilities of each GPU. Nvidia sponsored titles also has a trend of allowing all upscaling methods and not "missing" certain ones. There are some exceptions but there is a pretty big gap between the sponsorships. The reason is Nvidia has an open source upscaling integration api called Streamline which Intel is part of hence why we typically see XeSS integration and it also allows FSR to be easily implemented too. AMD on the other hand refused to be part of it.

So imo, AMD is very much acting like how EGS acted against Steam where Steam has all these nice features that people like such as Family Sharing, Remote Play and such. But instead of competing in the feature set, EGS would rather have the barebones feature set and bribe developers to be EGS exclusive. Cause if I want to play Starfield at 90fps on my 4090, my choices are:

a) Use FSR that makes my game look terrible
b) Use DLSS mods that can crash the game from time to time and corrupt save files
c) Just play the game how it is which is sub 60fps drops when in big cities

It's annoying because generally when it's an Nvidia sponsored title, Nvidia users can have their DLSS, AMD users can have their FSR and Intel can have their XeSS. But with AMD sponsored titles where oh it's just Raster or light Ray Tracing and have to use FSR. And sometimes after 4 months, there is an official DLSS update.

Have you even tried to play the game to see?. Also your always happy with DLSS in everything else so why be upset now?.

Also been using the DLSS mod since start no crashing or saves being messed up so far.

Heck you can even use the DLLS3 mod with frame gen since you where pretty happy with it in Cyberpunk.. That should boost your frames a lot.
