That's not quite true. Having tensor cores available makes ML algorithms like this more efficient which means lower GPU utilization and lower power draw. Ultimately even a 9xx is going to have plenty of headroom for an algorithm like this, so it doesn't make sense to lock it off - but there is a difference. I understand the decision to lock it off for a combination of market segmentation (convince people to upgrade) + ensuring the people who use it get the best experience (0 degradation in framerate, near-0 increase in power draw)
