Discussion Is the 50 series going to be a flop?

[Order 66]

I’m skeptical of the 5070s claim of parity with the 4090. Especially because of the slide that seemed to show the 5070 going from 27fps native with full rt to 230 fps with dlss 4.

Yeah, they made all these claims with a lot of asterisks there.

Like that one is for sure only with full blown DLSS4 supporting games at Framegen x4, which there probably won't be all that many at least for a while.


On the other hand, I do think as that eventually as the time will pass framegen will practically be a requirement. Although that would probably need a new console gen to truly become standard.

Which of course means that maybe 50-series might fall into awkward place of it being really good, but only in a few years from now. At which point unless someone needs that upgrade ASAP, might as well wait for 60-series.
