Comparing card at a particular resolution became meaningless when Control at 1080p with DLSS2.0 upscaling to 4k looks better than native rendering at 4k resolution.

I couldn't care less about being able to play games at 120 or 140 FPS, but I do care about image quality.

I wish these reviewers would compare the different cards at the same image quality at playable framerates (e.g. 60 FPS or 120 FPS).

It would then be interesting to see the performance of, e.g., a 3080 rendering Control at 1080p with ray tracing on and DLSS upsampling to 4k vs "whatever settings give the same image quality" for the RX 6800 XT.

If I wouldn't care about ray tracing or DLSS, I would probably be much better off buying a used 2080 Ti at this point. Sure, that would give me 40 FPS at Control 4k native vs 45 of the RX 6800 XT, but these 5 FPS aren't really worth 2x the price.
