The fact is DLSS is really good and weird naming convention aside DLSS 3.5 (which works on all RTX cards, unlike DLSS 3) looks fantastic.
I bought my last two cards solely for DLSS support and unless AMD steps up my next card will likely be Nvidia as well.
From the tiny amount we've seen of it (and what the digital foundry guys were about to discuss), it looks like DLSS3.5 with ray reconstruction may actually be a game changer, pretty ray traced lighting with inbuilt anti aliasing without a performance hit. Be keen to see how it actually looks with cyberpunk when it comes out.
I have read many of the comments in the thread, but there is a very basic question I hope someone can help me with: what does the OP even mean?
I know what AMD is and what they do, but "taking W's"? And "giving them away"?
Where I can find the source?
As far as I searched what is free software is the Vulkan implementation that runs on top of the intrinsic GPU and drivers (that have DRM and no source code).
The intrinsic GPU drivers on the kernel are still close source. So basically AMD and NVIDIA are the same. They both have source for some engines implementation but both kernel drivers are close source.

amdgpu is a blob.
I'm missing something?
They're open sourcing them so I can finally fix the audio bug my Lenovo Ideapad 14API gets on any drivers above 21.8.1. Maybe. Idk shit about software. But i know this is good
I'll never go for Nvidia ever again.
I've been a Linux only user for over twenty years now and Nvidia is the fucking devil. Their drivers range in quality anywhere from "ugh" to "wtf!" and my current Nvidia card (it's a loan) gives me continuous screen artifacts and kwin (screen manager) crashes. AMD drivers just work.
Which License?
Amd has been a shitshownof a company since their beginning. Don’t believe they wouldn’t be gouging if they could.
Intel does the same thing with drivers
Nvidia is only now catching up
