That doesn't bode well for AMD. Nvidia is beating them using an inferior process...

Yeah I think you're on wrong track with that level of thinking as they're completely different architectures for a start.

Also using substantially more resources to accomplish it.

Well, nvidia has 2 major features, 1 is DLSS, another is ray tracing. Right now, no games seems to support fideltyfx. But bigger problem is no cards......

and if none of the games a person currently plays, doesnt use RT, or the card can handle the res and graphics options just fine at native rez of the screen the person is using, those " 2 major features " become moot.

Only in sale numbers it beats them, take a look at newer benchmarks, not those from launch and you can see dozens of games where AMD beats nvidia even by a big margin.

It's more like a 50/50 situation depending on the game.

As for the lack of DLSS, well DSR, it's coming next month - quite a few leakers already said so...

Where do you even find this information, even I've heard there are about 40+ games supporting FidelityFX - not that I'd knowingly use it even I had a game with it.

He means FidelitFX Super Resolution, which is obviously different from FidelityFX in general, as well as from the majority that support either FidelityFX CAS (Contrast Aware Sharpening) or FidelityFX AO (yeah, there's a special variant of Ambient Occlusion for FidelityFX now, I'm not sure how different it is from the other forms of AO though). Right now, FSR has not been officially launched or used in any games.

Who really cares about things like this, except hardcore overclockers?

I do not really care if RX 6900 XT can run on 3,3 Ghz or a Trillion Ghz. I own a 3080 payed 700 bucks for it, and ray tracing is, drop dead gorgeous. Once you have seen it, you want it, everyone who says otherwise is a liar. I know AMD fellowship has become a religion, but I have bad news for you. While real religion at least promises you some salvation in the afterlife, AMD or NVIDIA worshiping promises you only a dent in your wallet. I find far less Isis level NVIDIA fanboys that AMD ones. Fun fact, I own a Ryzen 3900 CPU, yet I can still make rational judgements. Why can´t you?

You're not making a rational judgement if you're saying anyone that disagrees with you is a liar.

Why do people keep insisting on this POV? I've seen it; and my last two cards have supported it, and I don't need it for another generation or two. All I can imagine is that you're either young or simple.

This is the fact, some of those Metro Exodus screen captures that have been going around - some RT looks great, other images look better without RT because without RT immersion and mystery of the scene is increased. Who wants a room that was dark without RT suddenly looking all bright so you can easily see everything.

RT is the way forward, but clearly as developers learn how to use it, they will tune it so that the GAMES provide the right level of atmosphere and immersion - rather than exact life-like realism is best, because it isn't necessarily so.

He means FidelitFX Super Resolution...

It makes no sense to say this as everyone knows that FSR is not released yet.

Overclocker Der8auer, in a video showcasing his 3.2GHz 6900XT overclock, mentioned AMD’s use of an artificial clock limiter on most of the AIB partner cards and reference cards, which limits the cards to around 3 GHz.

It turns out that this "artificial" limit is a result of AMD not expecting RDNA2 to clock quite as high as it does (which is part of why they weren't too sure about trying to compete with the 3090 initially). The clock generator in RDNA2 would only go as high as 3 GHz. The Navi 21 XTXH die is effectively a new stepping which fixes the clock generator and should be expected to be in all Navi 21-based cards in the long term. From there it's a question whether AMD wants AIBs to keep the limit in place for all the existing cards.

As for the lack of DLSS, well DSR, it's coming next month - quite a few leakers already said so...

I actually find it funny that that is what everyone seems to be saying now, when all I heard was "this summer". If it launches in June, it would probably be late June at best. You would normally expect such an important feature to be launched alongside a new GPU, but that doesn't seem to be set to happen very soon.
