    All of this upscaling when it was presented over a decade ago was to give older cards a longer lease in life and now it’s morphed into the mandatory way to get a stable framerate since developers can now just rely on DLSS and to a lesser extent FSR to get them to a acceptable framerate instead of optimization.

    As for how will this improve the gaming experience? I honestly don’t see it at this point. Back when it was the original goal, sure, now with this “Chat GPT moment for graphics”, I see it only beneficial for corporate parasites and “shareholder value” as we wave good bye to artistic vision as everything goes to looking like AI only fans.
