Build Advice Upgrade advice for 1080p gaming ?

But if your card is just 30% faster base then you will most likely not have to go as far as frame generation. Nvidia has no value cards in the price range. The cheapest sku I would get is a 4070 ti Super and they are 700+ dollars. He can get a 7900 XT that is 10%+ faster than that 4070 ti S for less.

Or the 4070Ti or the 4070S which aren’t much slower that the 7900 and invention add DLSS in there perform better and have usable frame generation. You can also use RT if you want to and the cards use less power, making them cheaper over time, have a better resale value and have less issues with drivers.

the 7900 XT is faster than the 4070 ti S by about 5-10%. FSR is about equivalent to DLSS so they both have access. Frame generation looks atrocious from both companies so that's also a wash. The only argument is to pay more for less performance to gain raytracing performance.

It’s not equivalent though is it. FSR is a significant drop in quality and at 1080p that makes a difference. Frame gen on nvidia doesn’t look atrocious at this point it’s a “why wouldn’t I turn it on its free performance with no real downside”. AMDs doesn’t look bad either but it comes at the cost of massive input lag making it unusable. You seem to be relying on day one information rather than something more recent.

As someone who has used both DLSS and FSR with and without frame gen from both companies, that is my experience and my opinion. Opinions on FSR and DLSS vary. FSR, as others have stated, is slightly worse looking but is nearly impossible to tell unless you look at two screenshots of them in the same scene right next to each other. I am going to leave this topic here, as any more exposition is a wasted endeavor.

But at what resolution? As you lower the resolution DLSS is better. Also frame gen is an important factor
