I'm due an upgrade to my gaming rig core soon, currently running an old 3950X with a 4090. AMDs crippling of new game releases by paying to have DLSSv3 support omitted (most recently Jedi Survivor, and looking like Starfield) has completely soured me on the company. I don't feel inclined to support that behaviour financially with my next rig. |

I have a 3900x and I'll probably just hold onto it forever. New CPUs are faster but are 25%+ more expensive core for core on top of motherboards being 2-3x more expensive than their pre-COVID pricing for less features (specifically I need a second CPU linked pcie slot for a network card, and no affordable AM5 motherboards seem to do 8x/8x lane splits like you could get with trivially affordable AM4 boards).

This isn't a new trend sadly. It's insanely annoying to boot a game and see only AMD's subpar stuff baked in whereas when you boot a vendor agnostic or nvidia sponsored game you usually get nvidia's stuff alongside amd's. They did it with the RE4 remake recently too, very annoying to be stuck with FSR when the game advertised DLSS 3 support and had it in the pre-release demo.
