Find quite awkward that among all of what AMD announced today, Tim seems unimpressed at least, or nit picking at its best.
AMD FSR3 may be a huge blow to Nvidia DLSS3 RTX 4xxxx "exclusivity" which shows again how much anticonsumers and antigamers Nvidia is with its own buyers. And this may explain better why Nvidia rushed to announce DLSS3.5 available for all their RTX cards. And why they called it 3.5. To confuse gamers that they have something available for all their RTX cards, just that not DLSS3?
This may be too late for Nvidia to full gamers from now on. Because AMD is making FSR3 available for more Nvidia cards, RTX2xxx, 3xxx and 4xxx, than Nvidia did with its DLSS3 which is available only for RTX4xxx cards.
Again, quite awkard for Tim to disregard Nvidia DLSS black pattern, artificial market segmentation, not saying a word about this, instead of condemning it or at least acknowledging it. Keeping this loudly silence about it, just to be more favorable for Nvidia, is in detriment of gamers and Techspot readers who are not informed about this.
AMD making FSR3 available for all Nvidia RTX cards could have been easily the frontline title for a more interesting news presentation. Instead redears get "silentio stampa" awkward silence when Nvidia is caught in its own wrongdoings.
But hey, we get an "unimpressed" subtitle like: "Bottom line: Reasonable, not super amazing must-buys, not awfully inadequate models, but just okay".
This is what many can call it a wasted tech journalist opportunity, when it could easily be like:
"AMD is coming big after Nvidia, offering FSR3 for all RTX gen cards 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx while Nvidia made DLSS3 available only for its RTX 4xxx cards".
Also 7800XT looks promising, let's see if independent benchmarks will confirm.
On paper, both 7700XT and 7800XT are better offerings than Nvidia counterparts, let's see if benchmarks will confirm.
