Regardless, given the performance impact and how few games actually have ray tracing (implemented correctly), it makes more sense to just disregard ray tracing altoghether.

It's an undercooked technology used to push more expensive products, nothing more.

Regarding dlss vs fsr and xess, yes dlss has better quality but it's also proprietary so I honestly do not care about it. Just like gsync died, dlss will eventually die as well.

Just like gsync died

(true) gsync isn't dead, it's only in the highest end of monitors which is basically where it's always been. It only "died" because it requires an expensive module vs adaptive sync being built into basically every modern display controller so it's basically free.

The proprietary gsync approach with a dedicated hw module is indeed dead and most "g-sync" monitors just use the now pretty common vesa's vrr (aka freesync).

However I did research a bit and found some "gsync pulsar" monitors but none have been released yet, I believe. They do sound like unnecessary overpriced products though. That's Nvidia for ya.
