But it bears no relevance to me when deciding on a GPU purchase.

If there were only 1 game that supported it, but it was a game I wanted to try then it would factor in to my purchase decision.

Thankfully I'm not purchasing until there are cards from both vendors in plentiful stock and prices stabilised, which I'm guessing won't be until well in to next year, so hopefully by then AMD will have released their FX Super resolution,so we can see how it improves RT performance against NVidia

TBH i think the reason we will see it more games is because AMD are so close to Nvidia. Had AMD dropped the ball and delivered a GPU that barely beat the 3070 (as some where hoping) Nvidia would have just continued to trickle in the games with DLSS. but if they had dropped the ball we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Why would Nvidia be purposefully trickling DLSS into games? It's in their interest to get it in as many major titles as they can.

The fanboys still comparing dick sizes I see. Why can't people just be happy with their own choice without trying to rain on others' parade? All it does is show just how insecure you are in your own choice.

You hit the nail on the head. The Radeon branding has won a lot of mind share. And it's hurting them in the feels. At this point it will come down to pricing and availability. Nothing more nothing less.

With reviewers like Steve from Hardware unboxed telling his audience to stay clear of the 3070. Due to the vram limitation and lack of performance you know it's bad for ampere. Even though the 6800 still cost more.

They really do believe now people will still wait for ampere become available and pay more for the privilege LOL.

Because if AMD had dropped the ball, Nvidia would be the only option for high end consumers. If that was the case why would Nvidia spend money implementing it in more games than they need to, when they are the only option?

Now that AMD bumping shoulder with them they have more of an incetive to differentiate their products and drive DLSS home as a selling point. I expect that when RDNA 2 was announced Nvidia were one the phone to developers trying to hammer out more deals and we will soon see them announce even more games with the Nvidia seal of approval.

I imagine they meant on both sides. The fanboys are no better on either side.

Fair enough.:)

I think it's a reasonable question to ask when considering a GPU purchase based around a feature.

I did a bit of Googling and came up with the answer.

I dont see it that way. This is rdna 2 thread. You expect to see people who favor or want to buy radeon here.

People are entitled to have positive view of the rx6000 series without being attack by off topic nvidia propaganda in this thread. Its so egregious it doesn't relate to current discussion about the rx6000 series.

It only reveals how fustrated and disheartening they are. :D

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing AMD, the new cards are great, especially in raster performance, and its great to actually have a choice at the top end now. I'm brand agnostic.

However, when spending what I personally consider a lot of money on a single component I have to take everything into account, including what games I'm likely to try and how they perform on said GPUs, and some of the games that are currently out and some that are yet to be released have both RT features I'd like to try out as my current GPU won't allow me. Those games that are out look like they require DLSS type implementation to get playable frame rates at the resolution I require.

Hopefully come purchase time AMD will have their DLSS equivalent up and running so I can see which offers the best for my money in the games I'd like to try

I honestly don't understand brand loyalty on either side, Nvidia or AMD have no idea who any of you are and give less fk's.

It's also possible to favor one brand without bashing the other and have good spirited conversation without agreeing.
Both AMD and Nvidia have shortfalls in their GPU's and their business practice, but what a great time to own either one ehh?

To be fair and objective, the number of DLSS will increase a lot next year given the success and the universally good critical reception it is having, that is clear. People need to be thinking about how the situation will be in 6 months time and not just snapshotting how it is now.

AMD will get their own AMDLSS but it will likely take a while to catch up with Nvidia.

Well since Microsoft and probably Sony are involved in the development of AMD's version of DLSS, I reckon it's will not only catch up but surpass DLSS very quickly. It's Opensource too so most devs will implement it.

Yer and it's great news, I really want AMD to uplift their software stack asap, ofc it's gonna be same thing done differently back to the apples and oranges analogy.

Take SAM as an example, it forces nvidia to improve its product as well when AMD does something right.
 
Getting Valhalla to work with SAM is a pretty significant feat IMO. Open world games have always been a struggle with Radeon. To actually see them reverse course with a performance improvement like that and again with SAM shows the potential AMD can extract from it with their setups.

I'm not convinced that reducing IQ to "upscale it" for a performance increase is as impressive as getting SAM working in an open world game. It's going to be interesting to see what GTA VI will offer. I seriously doubt it will be a repeat of GTA V with Radeon on the short end.
