Interesting in those techpowerup benchmarks that the RTX 3050 8GB comes ahead of the RX 6500 XT 4GB at 1080p but falls behind it at 1440p. Not what I would have predicted.
I really don't think it's deliberately done to force upgrades.
It's a case of trying to add more and more features to an ageing, creaking engine that desperately needs replacing and then throwing pointless DRM on top to cripple performance even more.
And what on earth is going on with the GTX 1660 ti results at 1440p and 4k?!Hadn't noticed that, what the hell is going on there?
