People taking a £500/£550 haircut on 4080s presumably to get a 5080 with 10% performance uplift seems pointless to me.

Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
Right lets talk everyone - are we all just been psychologically tricked into "needing" new graphics cards?

A lowly 10% performance uplift in raster but gateway to DLSS4 and moar fake framz goodness!

4080's get DLSS 4 and 2x fake frames though.

You'll get 3x with a 5080 and DLSS4 though. That's some additional appendage length for the old e-peen right there.
The great irony is that generated frames need a decent framerate in the first place. Congrats, you can do 60 real fps, lets smooth that with another 180 generated frames for a slightly smoother image with the responsiveness of 60fps.
Meanwhile the 30fps strugglers could be smoothed all the way to 240fps with generated frames and it's making the picture prettier but the game is still only reacting at 30fps...
It belongs next to motion blur.

Which is more than enough for anyone who has a monitor with 165Hz or less. Frame gen needs at least 60fps base rate to feel acceptable so you would need a 180Hz + monitor if you want to use 3X frame gen.
I can't help but feel we've stagnated in everything.
1440p and 4k have been around for a long time now, (4k TVs been commercially since 2013, with mainstream from 2016, 9-12 years) we should really be able to have decent frame rates at 4k as a minimum now.
Graphics don't appear to be significantly better than the Xbox 360 days, they are better but in terms of what they were doing with the hardware then, to what they are doing now.. seems to me that games just aren't optimized, maybe because they have lots of ram, and they have lots of compute power and capacity it has instilled laziness in the coding I don't know,
I don't like the idea of fake frames, whenever I've played with them on it feels unnatural, almost like everything is delayed.

Of course there's going to be stagnation when there's a hardware company with 90% market share. They don't need to compete with anyone. If you think it's bad now, just wait until they reach 95%.
