Poll: Do you care about ray tracing / upscaling?

So do you think one should use XeSS in all cases, or does it depend?

Game dependent. Most annoying thing I see with the DP4a version of XeSS is ghosting. With FSR, image stability/sizzle/shimmering and ghosting can be annoying as hell at lower resolutions. In most the games I have tried both e.g. Spidey games, cyberpunk, Hogwarts, AC: Mirage, XeSS IQ issues are less distracting. In the Spidey games Insomniac's IGTI is usually better than both for IQ overall. All my personal preferences of course.

Hardware XMX XeSS looks and runs better on ARC than the software fallback on other IHVs, of course.

I haven't tried XeSS. I didnt know it worked on AMD cards, I thought it was for Intel only. TBH, I think FSR on the 7600 is worthless: Very little increase in performance and horrible image quality, no matter what the setting.

Sounds like you are fully CPU limited then. FSR balanced vs native should be a significant fps boost at the expense of IQ.

From what I understand it is much better on the current AMD architecture.

FSR 4 is better than anything but DLSS transformer.

It's a different architecture. Traditional GPUs are raster first and RT tacked on. This GPU is RT first and raster as an afterthought just for compatibility.

Does that explain the piss poor FP32 performance? This doesn't look like a card designed for your average consumer.

Depends on how they perform. If they provide decent DX12/Vulkan support on day one, I can see enthusiasts paying $3000 for the 64GB card. The success of that could make cheaper 16GB and 32GB cards possible with higher PT performance than 5090. The 128GB card at $5000 would be better value than Nvidia's 96GB PRO card for workstation/AI use.

It'll end up like Ageia Physx, Nvidia will buy them.
