I have said it before but the leadership at Radeon is full of clowns. They act like they are the "good guys" but in reality, they are completely pathetic.

FSR being available on older gpus has been nothing special because all it is, is just a traditional upscaler. A step up from TAA but games like spiderman had a similar one to FSR already in their engine. XeSS being available on older gpus on the other hand is nuts because Intel is leveraging dp4a path. While not as good as having actual Ai cores, least it's something and proven to be superior to FSR.

Radeon is cheap because they don't invest on Nvidias feature set and instead produce cheap knockoffs that require very little on going investment. Even FSR4 they likely didn't fully make it themselves and likely was a partnership with Mark Cerny. Intel on the other hand did make XeSS by themselves and made it work for every gpu including RDNA2. So while Intel does have a long way to go with their drivers, I am rooting for them to be the robinhood that Radeon pretends to be.

While it was nice of them to grant support to even my GPU with FSR 1-2.1, I knew it was being used as leverage of loyalty, and I wasn't going to buy into that (I'm made fully aware of marketing leverage tactics thanks to my e-business course I took yrs ago, and how companies will use them to try detracting loyalty from their competition and push ppl towards their side by making "gestures" of goodwill that serve their own interests). 

I'm pretty sure Intel has more bank than AMD, so I'm sure they can play the waiting game better than AMD possibly can. We just have to try buying into it piece at a time, instead of just not buying it at all and seeing them leave the party early. As it stands Nvidia isn't in my range anymore, which leaves me with AMD/Intel, so I guess I'm going to have to wait a little longer to see what Intel can dish out, because I don't trust AMD without a decent feature-set. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
