Alright kind of a big news from Nvidia rep:

"DLSS 3 consists of 3 technologies – DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex.

I don't really agree with that. Sure, the difference between the 4090 and real 4080 is massive, But I think it has more to do with Nvidia leaving a gap big enough between the different models to fit the -Ti models that will come next year, so they bring enough performance improvements to make them look good enough.

After all, while Nvidia didn't say a thing, GALAX confirmed the chipsets uded on each GPU, and they don't differ much from what they've been using these last generations, with the exception of the 4080 being AD103 when Nvidia rarely uses the x03 name.  

Ngl, the last AAA I truly enjoyed and felt like I got my monies worth was RDR 1, and that was 12yrs ago, and ever since then that's just slowly declined, to a point where I now just don't like how gimmicky and flashy AAA's have gotten, and yet with all the tech they have, so little substance.

Take for instance, Conan Exiles, yes it's another open world survival game, but it featured Nvidia's Sand technology. Where is that tech years later?, no one fucking knows, because no one us using it, and that malds me, because I thought it was so fucking cool to drag a corpse through the desert on a rope, and see my deep footprints on the sand, and seeing the corpse leave a trail that spanned nearly a mile, and I thought to myself "wow, this would be so fucking cool if AAA companies did this sort of interactivity", and here we are today and everyone and their execs are focused only on RT, no interactive water sources, sand, fire, dirt, etc, just how to make everything one big fucking shiny puddle (a puddle you can't even interact with to distort the reflection).

AAA is just all flash, little substance, and it sucks, because all the money that goes into them you'd think would involve higher player agency and interactivity, but no, it's wasted on a thing veil of pretend realism. 

Honestly, if my previous co-worker wasn't a douche and moved to the UK with my 980ti I lent to him, I would gladly hand it over to you free of charge, because it lasted me during the times of MGSV, up till 2017.

Also yeah, power bills atm are going up and even though my fan curve cannot be altered (I had to remove the middle broken fan of my 1080ti, so now the GPU outright ignores all custom fan curve modules and ramps up the fan speed to max when playing any intense 3D game), I've still had to undervolt my GPU, to not drain more energy. 

Between low availability and ridiculous prices, the idea of Nvidia putting these cards out of reach to make the remaining Ampere cards more enticing sounds more plausible.

After all, we have to remember that Nvidia tried to renegotiate its contract with TSMC to reduce it, which TSMC said no. So we know that Nvidia has the chips, and it's only a matter of willing to use them now or not.

I don't really agree with that. Sure, the difference between the 4090 and real 4080 is massive, But I think it has more to do with Nvidia leaving a gap big enough between the different models to fit the -Ti models that will come next year, so they bring enough performance improvements to make them look good enough.
