My 7900XT works reasonably for 4k well in most games - though admittedly I have to turn graphics down to Medium in alot of cases to get 100-ish fps with upscaling and frame-gen on quality settings. Except Cyberpunk, it ran really well with high settings.

I'd guess in about 3 years it should be much better

i just wish it wasn't the general direction the industry had decided to push things.

it's become the expected norm. it's the performance metric games are optimized to hit now, and it's far from prefect.

i was just playing red dead 2 yesterday with dlss and i was legitimately struggling to do some things due to the artifacting. like there are some small missions and challenges that require you to find and shoot specific tiny birds with a bow, but dlss struggles with small things flying across a dynamic background. the birds would literally fade in and out of existence.

same thing with trying to snipe distant heads. the little red fatal zone indicator would ghost like hell and fade in and out.

like, it may be better than needing to drop your resolution, but it still kind of sucks sometimes.

My 3080 has trouble keeping 60 on newer stuff 😑

If you pick a resolution that requires fractional scaling (eg 1080p on your 1440p monitor) it’ll look real dogshit because it’s trying to represent one game pixel with like one and a half real ones along either direction. A resolution that would use integer scaling (ie 720p for your monitor) will just use two pixels in either direction to show one game one (like four pixels all showing the same thing), so it’ll be more pixellated but much less blurry and gross. FSR is the better solution most of the time, but if you did want to go below native again that’d make it a little less gross.
