The current gen consoles having pretty weak raytracing will play for AMD quite a bit here. It means that games can't demand anything higher than a PS5 can do, and since AMD provide that then their stuff will still do for modern PC games.
The frame generation is a red herring in my book. A quick look at a few videos shows similar artifacts to what my 4K TV made if you leave the awful motion smoothing settings on. 40-50fps with VRR is a much better "make the poorly optimised game playable" goal.

I’m sorry, is a $1000 now cheap for gpu? I remember when an 80 series cost $500 and it felt expensive.
Yeah but the same thing can be said about phones, it's the new norm and for something that'll easily last you 4-6 years, it's a worthwhile investment I feel
Yeah they ain’t cheap. AMD just follows NVidia’s pricing and just undercuts them by a few hundred. AMD has zero reason to price their GPUs this high. While I sorta get why NVidia does it. There is massive demand for their chips outside the gaming sphere. And these businesses are willing to pay top dollar. I bet most of their production capacity is allocated to produce data center GPUs.
I'll never go for Nvidia ever again.
I've been a Linux only user for over twenty years now and Nvidia is the fucking devil. Their drivers range in quality anywhere from "ugh" to "wtf!" and my current Nvidia card (it's a loan) gives me continuous screen artifacts and kwin (screen manager) crashes. AMD drivers just work.
RIP cheems
They're open sourcing them so I can finally fix the audio bug my Lenovo Ideapad 14API gets on any drivers above 21.8.1. Maybe. Idk shit about software. But i know this is good
I wish AMD offered solid hardware ray tracing... Nvidia has a near-total monopoly on GPU rendering workstations, because there's simply no competition.
The fact is DLSS is really good and weird naming convention aside DLSS 3.5 (which works on all RTX cards, unlike DLSS 3) looks fantastic.
I bought my last two cards solely for DLSS support and unless AMD steps up my next card will likely be Nvidia as well.
