Thinking about selling my RTX 5070 after the DLSS 5 fiasco

Discussion

I bought the RTX 5070 to play my solo games but right now I'm not interested in the technologies anymore

So when the DLSS 5 was announced, it disgusted me of this trend that consist to transform video games to movies. And since I'm not using Ray Tracing or Path Tracing anymore because I don't want my games to looks like movies anymore.

So there is only DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen left for me. I tried recently to play at 80 FPS without turning MFG on and with a 80 FPS limit on RTSS (I usually optimize my games to run at 60 FPS AVG + MFG x3 to reach the 180 hz of my monitor) and I was just ... smooth.

So there is DLSS 4 left for me.

At this point I'm just not interested about Nvidia anymore. DLSS 5, Ray Tracing and Path Tracing are not interesting anymore because they are transforming my video games to movies and for my solo games I just don't mind to play with real frames at 60 FPS or 80 FPS (locked in RTSS).

I'm thinking about selling my RTX 5070 and buy the RX 9070 XT instead. I think it's 20% more powerful, and maybe even more powerful without Ray Tracing on. The only thing retaining me on Nvidia is the DLSS 4 upscalling which is present in every game and still leading.
