  33. I believe that the problem with RTX, and why more developers don't implement it, is that it's Nvidia exclusive tech, this means it's extra work being done only for Nvidia card users, the AMD customers won't get to enjoy it even if they have cards powerful enough for it, and also, perhaps most damningly, it cannot work on any platform other than PC, and a lot of games get most of their players from consoles making it a wasted effort. Additionally, further down the line in the future where we don't know if people might even end up gaming on integrated graphics (I mean AMD's integrated vega series was a pretty huge thing since it allows you to play a lot of games decently well already and I imagine this will only improve over time), there won't be any forwards compatibility with any such advances because of the nvidia exclusivity. RTX is great technology. However making the software/engine end of things Nvidia exclusive as well is a huge fuckin mistake; what's more, it makes them look like complete jackasses, especially since AMD has a strong tendency to do the exact opposite and make all software solutions open (even going as far as open source a lot of the time) and not directly dependent on their own hardware (e.g. works on nvidia cards too). As for DLSS, DLSS is also great technology but it is severely limited, it's a bit of a pain in the ass to implement, more of a pain in the ass to maintain said implementation and is potentially incompatible with modding (e.g. things like texture replacers or model replacers in particular, or new added content via mods; DLSS requires a deep learning AI to be trained to do the (honestly amazing) upscaling on a per-game basis and it needs to be accordingly retrained if any textures or models change or new content gets added, which is why I call it limited) I understand how they like to advertise their cards at their best with DLSS enabled, but it's honestly misleading, the 3090 is not really an 8k capable card as they claim, it's only truly 4k capable, at least from the gamer's point of view, unless the game supports DLSS 2. Great thing to have, when you have it, but most of the time you probably won't have it. These are no doubt impressive cards, but the way they implement RTX makes them look like morons, and the way they rely on DLSS to falsely advertise their cards as superior to what they actually are makes them actual assholes. The only saving grace is the more sane pricing strategy and elevated base performance. The nvidia exclusive tech is still, as always, a letdown in some way or another.
