AMD FSR Redstone launches with big promises, but Frame Generation is still flawed and major features are locked to RDNA 4. If you expected a leap toward Nvidia-level tech, this will disappoint.
AMD FSR Redstone Looks Sharp on Paper, Plays Rough, Launches Broken
Kinda goes hand in hand I'm surprised they're putting up as much of a fight as they are considering NVIDIAs worth can fluctuate more in a single day than AMD is even worth in the first place (according to the stock market).
You obviously have no experience with this.
Almost no decent game has hardware-accelerated RT. There is Lumen, which is a software-based imitation that runs on anything, but it has noise and artifacts. RT in its current state adds nothing; the end of silicon is on the horizon, and we are chasing the wind.
Many high rated games have RT elements. You still don't know the difference between turning on RT manually and actually being forced to render RT workloads.
People defending RT don't understand anything about hardware or game development. All of these games are failures; they didn't generate enough money to even cover development costs. Lumen software runs on anything, check satisfactory.Many high rated games have RT elements. You still don't know the difference between turning on RT manually and actually being forced to render RT workloads.
You are just getting old and out of touch. Industry is moving, faster than ever.
Developers can't wait to not waste time on baked lighting and shadows. Which RT makes possible.
The future is RT and if you can't see this, I don't know what to tell you. You have no clue on where industry is heading it seems. This is nothing new.
Lumen is software RT, forced that is - that destroys performance on most AMD cards.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Performance Benchmark Review - 35 GPUs Tested
Silent Hill 2 Remake lets you relive the iconic classic with modern graphics thanks to Unreal Engine 5. The PC version offers enhanced visuals, featuring support for cutting-edge technologies like DLSS, FSR and ray tracing. In our performance review, we'll look at the game's graphics quality...www.techpowerup.com
AMD dips like crazy due to lacking RT performance. With no good upscaling solution to help.
And the game scored Mightly Rating - https://opencritic.com/game/16791/silent-hill-2
Tons of examples just like this.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Performance Benchmark Review - 30+ GPUs Tested
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features stunning visuals that recreate the movie franchise's unique universe. There's also support for AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation and NVIDIA DLSS. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a wide selection...www.techpowerup.com
Several year old game with good reviews as well. 6800 16GB loses to 3070 8GB, even in 4K/UHD. Game has RT elements. Crazy people like you, speak about VRAM and Rasterization performance only. Reality on the other hand, shows this is not only what you need.
Decent RT perf, Good upscaling, Good Frame Gen, all with actual game support, is stuff you need for a solid GPU these days. Unless you are an old man, playing old games, then you don't need to care and you can enjoy those games again and again.
You are clueless, using old dated hardware with no experience about this topic anyway, move on

I'm able to run Ratchet and Clank with max RT on a 6800xt without issues. Can use the RT on metro exodus too.
Well they figured out that rolling over and half arsing the feature set results in 6% marketshare. That just isnt good enough.
It's obvious that these types of commentators have never used RT features or modern GPUs and are just parroting other angry people online.
And ironically, DICE didn't even bother with it and nobody is complaining about it. Some devs understood...
Why do people who obviously haven't used a tech comment on it? DLSS Quality looks better than Native + AA, as it bypasses the blurring of TAA and the edge issues of other types of AA. I've done the A/B testing.You are the one not knowing what you are talking about.
1440p with DLSS quality is rendered from 960p.
So basically you are playing at 960p, so of course path racing will function at such a low resolution, however you are not even close in term of visual fidelity from native 1440p with path tracing.
I will even say that you should play at NATIVE 960p and avoid all the upscaling garbage, especially at such low resolution. It is breathtaking to see people brag about ray tracing when in most case it is barely noticeable. The only RT option that is obvious is Reflections.
Not, you're not basically playing at 960p, stop spreading misinformation.
I must have missed the ceremony where you were appointed the arbiter of what a decent game is.
