These past weeks i found myself, once again, in a position vulnerable to ridicule.
What happened?
I dared to ask if it was possible to add DLSS and FSR to a certain game on a open/specific forum.
Long story short, i noticed more than a 400 watt GPU output on 'lowest' game settings. With a fixed fps of 60 and a 4k resolution.
I also presented another example of a 'similar' type game and called its engine, more efficient.
Of course these were all lies, the developers had way more important issues to deal with, costs ofc ( the board partners again ) and please how do i even imagine someone else's engine to be better!!!! What kind of fan are you now... etc etc
With a heavy heart i set upon answering all the accusations... during the second round i found myself with a sudden spark of inspiration and cooked up this example
if at 1080p your GPU has a 100W output
this would mean, in 2k in similar settings the output doubles, 200W
for 4k it doubles again, 400W
pixel count increase etc
If another game only has a 250W output on 4k, 'similar' settings and FPS
Then you could conclude the 'other's engine is more efficient!
Right ?
