I’m not sure what you’re talking about because side by side testing people can’t tell the difference with the exception of racing games (tho that’s screwed on DLSS 3 too anyway) and if you take screen grabs to look at. So fact is. All the compute in Nvidia cards is a gimmick. If you disagree then you’re wrong. The competitive edge of DLSS is gone.
1 bad driver update is not indicative of anything. Nvidia has had bad driver updates but you’re not shutting all over them. And running Nvidias own drivers on linux is still a pain point.
(And don’t try claim I’m an AMD fanboy when I don’t even have any AMD stuff at the moment. It’s all Intel/Nvidia)
