- This is the best summary I could come up with: 
 - The performance gains were small, and a drop from 12GB to 8GB of RAM isn’t the direction we prefer to see things move, but it was still a slightly faster and more efficient card at around the same price. - In all, 2023 wasn’t the worst time to buy a $300 GPU; that dubious honor belongs to the depths of 2021, when you’d be lucky to snag a GTX 1650 for that price. - But these numbers were only possible in games that supported these GPUs’ newest software gimmick, DLSS Frame Generation (FG). - The technology is impressive when it works, and it’s been successful enough to spawn hardware-agnostic imitators like the AMD-backed FSR 3 and an alternate implementation from Intel that’s still in early stages. - And DLSS FG also adds a bit of latency, though this can be offset with latency-reducing technologies like Nvidia Reflex. - But to put it front-and-center in comparisons with previous-generation graphics cards is, at best, painting an overly rosy picture of what upgraders can actually expect.
