@matana @LukeAlmighty DLSS will do it for them. Especially DLSS 3. Doesn't matter if your card doesn't have 12GB of VRAM though I guess. Gotta have those ultra resolution textures and uncompressed audio in 10 different languages. People have big enough drives these days to store everything.

Physics was all the rage in the 2000s. Now it's all canned animation because devs want to make their games look better instead of feel better, because that is what the average consumer actually cares about. If the games don't look better on the next console or whatever, then why buy it? No normie is going to appreciate enhanced physics calculations like they did back when it was a groundbreaking feature, but the more realistic the characters look the more inclined they are to think that there has been a true upgrade to their gaming experience.
