I love ray tracing and path tracing when they’re done right. Ik fully ray traced scenes are hardly playable even on high end cards without upscaling but like if one has a powerful enough card, why not utilize its potential? Yet most people don’t seem to care about RT.
When it comes to upscaling though, I hate it, and I’m not even talking about frame gen. It makes things look blurry and causes annoying artifacts. I think playing on lowest settings with clear textures is more enjoyable long term than maxed out in 4k with a consistently blurry image. Also this new technology makes devs care less about optimization (which will backfire btw as we’re approaching the physical limit of transistor size).
I do like upscaling, it lets me my poor 6650xt reach 75fps (my monitor refresh rate) on games where it can only get 60fps on native 1080p.
I don’t play those games that need upscaling to barely run ok. They aren’t getting my money, at least until they fix their shit.
