The only sticking point for me is that Nvidia has features like DLSS that could extend the longevity of my card

[mhh__]

AMD has technology to compete with DLSS (or so I've read), but talk is cheap and nvidia are already walking the walk.

DLSS could be an absolute godsend for VR, if you imagine the next gen of HMDs at ridiculous pixel densities but the game can cheat and basically fake your peripheral vision.

AMD has come out with a DLSS equivalent, though more details need to be given.

That being said, AMD cards tend to age better than NVidia cards. My R9 290X went from being inferior to a 780Ti to 12-15% faster.

AMD hasn't come out with anything like DLSS yet, but they've said they're "working on it".

[sudosysgen]

Technically they did already come out with a scaler that competes with DLSS 1, but for DLSS 2 they did say they are working on it. Of course, the first one isn't publicly available, and IIRC was focused on consoles.

Only if games support them, which relatively few do atm.

Generally speaking manufacturing proprietary features like that see poor support long term.

Physx, hairworks, SLI all come to mind.
