… Related I went back to native resolution for a week, but Nvidia's DLSS still made it feel like the wrong choice Technically superior no longer means visually better Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell is beastly 96GB of GDDR7 VRAM to stuff with gaming textures The RTX Pro 6000 is based on the GB202 GPU… …
… In reality, though, the rumored 9GB VRAM variants of the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti would do little to solve the deeper issues with the Blackwell 60-series GPUs. …
… DLSS 4.5, NVENC, and it's broader, day-zero compatibility for local AI all the way from Pascal to Blackwell architectures is what appeals to most buyers. …

… Instead, DLSS is a cheat code that uses AI to simulate the performance of a 1,000 W GPU using only 450 W of actual electricity. …
… The gap between the Performance and Ultra Performance-tier models is rather narrow, but Preset M managed to edge ahead on almost every metric, most notably in frame consistency. …
… Instead of innovating on the hardware level, Nvidia and even AMD resorted to AI-powered performance gains to give the illusion of progress. The Blackwell generation seemed little more than a refresh of the Ada Lovelace generation, offering barely enough incentive for anyone to upgrade. …
… The RX 9070 XT and RTX 5080 do perform differently in terms of average FPS, but I wasn't comparing the performance of each card to one another, just to their own performance with upscaling on and off. …
