    I haven’t really been paying much attention to the latest GPU news, but can AMD cards do ray tracing and dlss and all that jazz that comes with RTX cards?

      DLSS is off the table, but you CAN raytrace. That being said I do not see the value of RT myself. It has the greatest performance impact of any graphical setting and often looks only marginally better than baked in lighting.

        It depends greatly on the game. I’ve seen a huge difference in games like Control where the game itself was used to feature that… Well… Feature! You can see it in the quality of the lighting and the reflections. You also get better illumination on darker areas thanks to radiated lighting. It’s much more natural looking.

        dlss is a brand name both amd and intel have their own version of the same thing, and they are only a little worse if at all.

      Yes, but by different names. They use FSR that’s basically the same thing, I haven’t noticed a difference in quality. Ray tracing too, just not branded as RTX
