So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.
I'm looking at getting the following, but I'm stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)
PC specs that I have landed on.
- AMD 7800X3D
- 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
- Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
- Noctua 140mm CPU cooler
I am carrying over the following from my old PC
- Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
- SSD storage
- EVGA 850w gold PSU
I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I'm looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.
DLSS is nicer than FSR but it’s still an upscale, not magic, it results in blur and artifacts. Sometimes worth it but it depends. Not an important feature in my personal opinion.
gotta disagree with you there, DLSS is just okay in some cases, but in many others it works so well it might as well be magic. I'd say it's worth it in almost every game you can enable it
The newer updates of DLSS 2 fixed most of the issues, you'd have to be looking for artifacts to spot them. I turn on Quality on every game and never notice it. It's a night and day difference to FSR.
I truly use DLSS all the time, every update, it looks like upscaling. I see the ghosting, the shimmery edges, the blur, the artificial sharpening to compensate. It is there.
Have you seen DLSS 3.5?

The path tracing looks good. Otherwise it’s an encoded YouTube video that is blurry at best.
I use DLSS regularly, like on a real display. It is blurry and artifacty upscaling. 3.5 won’t change general upscaling beyond path tracing.
It looks about as good as a TAA frame. There are worse ways to blur and artifact your picture. You should check out the DF video, they have people from Nvidia on the discussion.
I did watch much of it. And kinda (depends on res, I might agree for 4k w/ DLSS Quality) but TAA introduces artifacts in general.
