The truth has to be told, after the launch of these upscaling technologies, it is difficult to see a game being optimized to run at native resolutions, it also happens with the frame generator, which was supposed to be used optionally, it is being used as a tool to run games because developers are too lazy to optimize their games.

[@matilsao115]

exactly, now they activate fsr or dlss by default in most games, and that only shows the lack of care that they put into the optimization. This upscaling technologies are making a huge damage on the development of games. hope that they stop relying on this, because it's a pretty good tech specially for older gpus.

[@juliusjacob1416]

Exactly! DLSS and FG are actually horrible because it’s exactly like you said: developers now officially have absolutely zero motivation to optimize games natively. Really don’t like where this is going. Only games that are actually being optimized natively seem to be competitive fps games. All the rest is garbage. A freaking 4090 should be able to run 4k max at 100fps.

What is wrong is using it to be able to even run at lower resolutions and lower settings. If you want max res and max settings you need to use it, not just to be able to play the game at all.

As a game developer who works on optimization daily, it’s clear there’s some confusion here. A frametime of 0.5ms is incredibly good, not terrible. Let me clarify: What is Frametime? Frametime is the time it takes to render a single frame. Lower frametimes result in smoother and faster gameplay, as frames are rendered more quickly. How to Calculate FPS: The formula to calculate FPS is: FPS = 1000 ÷ Frametime (in ms) For a frametime of 0.5ms, this means: FPS = 1000 ÷ 0.5 = 2000 FPS If you’re not familiar with how frametime and FPS work, it’s best to learn the basics before making incorrect claims.

It's amazing to see how poorly optimized modern games have been. I just recently upgraded from a 4080 super to a 4090 and was surprised to see how little difference it made on performance. Now is there a difference, Of course, but Is it noticeable at 1440p and even 1080p, Imo, not really. The Only time I could visually notice a 5-15fps boost was when gaming at 4k native with max settings and only on specific games. Other than that, Poor game optimization and CPU bottlenecks kinda makes my 4090 feel underwhelming to say the least especially for the price of the gpu. Hopefully an actual noticeable improvement will be seen in the rtx 50 series, But I have my doubts.

The reason UE5 games perform better with lower resolution even when you're not maxing out the GPU utilization is probably because of nanite.
