Frame generation: multi-GPU is back!

At least some of the problem is there's a bit of a no mans land performance wise between the 9070xt/5070ti/5080 and the 5090. The first three are very close in performance and yet the 5080 costs around a grand Vs £600-700 for the XT and Ti and an even more massive leap to the 5090.

You could buy two 9070xt's for the cost of some of the 5080's on the market.
Not long ago Nvidia and AMD both had high end cards in the £600-700 price range that rivalled the 3090 but unfortunately they now only offer mid range cards at these prices, you can understand this from the market leader who don’t need to make an effort, it’s just a shame AMD can’t seem to do better and reflects in their dwindling marketshare.

Better cards at better prices and more optimisation for games is what’s needed not more reliance on frame gen just to reach playable fps.
 
As IGPU's get better over time this could be something to leverage though I vaguely remember many years ago there was some software/tech with one of my systems where it would use the IGPU to help the main GPU but the software/support for it sucked.
Yeah I think AMD had some concept like this but it was majorly restricted, like only specific combinations of GPU and iGPU would actually work. It was one of those things a manufacturer would announce as a headline feature to attract some hype but had very limited practical application like the high end gpus weren't supported or something, only helped if you had a rubbish GPU to begin with or something like that.
