Nvidia's RTX 20 series launched with underwhelming performance gains, particularly in ray tracing and DLSS upscaling. This article explores whether the RTX 50 series, relying heavily on Multi Frame Generation (MFG), has fared better, despite MFG's limitations. The comparison highlights the similarities between the RTX 20 and 50 series in terms of raw performance advantages, leading to questions about the 50 series' reception.

, the company couldn't possibly care or even notice what we tiny fleas of PC gaming think. So, it's intriguing to find a senior Nvidia suit observing that the RTX 20 series of graphics cards launched to a"thud". Maybe Nvidia does see us after all.

Kim explains that,"the problem was the GeForce RTX offered negligible gains in frame-rate performance over the previous-generation Pascal cards. And when gamers turned on ray tracing, which was supposed to be the killer new feature, the RTX cards suffered a 25 percent drop in frame rate. DLSS performed marginally better. When enabled, it allowed cards to run about 40 percent faster than Pascal, but at a noticeable loss of image quality." Ouch.

The problem is that the RTX 20 cards had both ray tracing and DLSS as new features, with the new RTX 50 family has to make do with just MFG as a major differentiator. Though the 50 series features are far more polished. Nevertheless, has that launched to a 'thud' or has it been more generously received? Answers in a comment below!
