Because most of the users don’t know how to turn that shit off in AAA games. It’s often just defaults to being on, no?

Also I thought DLSS is supposed to help with underspecced PC-s to help run modern games. So this is a self burn in a way, either RTX cards are not as performant as hoped, or the AAA games sector is just fucked, as they cannot for the life of them pump out an optimized game.

But the engine is shit. Threat Interactive on YouTube have done some awesome rendering analysis on UE5 games and engine features which I highly recommend to watch. But it’s the industry standard now in AAA space, sadly, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

Perfect timing, as Cassette Beasts is in this month’s Humble Choice as well!
