Raw performance isn't increasing much, price/performance under the 700$ has barely increased both now and in 2000 series.

- epolanski 3y agoYes, the RT part did improve but the raw part not much. Thus only gamers that care about RT and only in the games that make a good use of it (virtually none) have any serious benefit.
- paulmd 3y agoIn a world where transistor-per-$ growth is running at most 10-20% per generation, you have to get more out of the transistors you have, or else prices go up. Or both. So raw performance has stagnated and gains have been concentrated in things like DLSS 2.5 that let you get native quality at a 30% speedup or better than native DLAA at 0% speedup, or FSR2 Quality level quality at 50-70% speedup. Cause that gets you more performance out of a small increase of transistors/cost.
