That's what the tech was touted as over a decade ago when this started with both DLSS and FSR. Give an extension of life to your older cards.
Currently that's not what it used for, it's now a tool that allows developers to not give a crap about optimizing the game or creating textures and models that look good out of the box. Now it's THE tool that will get you up to 60 fps with a GPU that has a ton of expensive RAM because developers don't have to care just let AI make it's guess, better have money because screw your low end gaming, it's THE tool to ensure that native rendering and models don't have to be good, just slap on what you want it to look like and let AI do the rest, artists intention be damned.
With it running on two 5090's, and yeah, yeah, they said it'll run on on card and we all should believe corporations, it looks like their little way of starting to make owning a gaming computer too expensive for anyone and why don't you just subscribe to our cloud gaming instead where you can rent out the capability we decide to give you. Call me cynical but that's what I'm seeing here.
