I'm running some mods which replace the lighting and shadows with true volumetrics that adapt in real-time along with the sun and moon phases, as well as simulated ray-tracing for the interiors. It looks utterly spectacular and next-gen already, but the 3080 is beginning to dip to the 40-50FPS range even at 1440p.
It's utterly futile hoping for DLSS support for about a hundred reasons, so I guess AMDs Super Resolution is the next best thing - especially if they're releasing it publicly.

Around 1/3 of those are optimisation, bug and engine fixes. Another 1/3 on balancing. The final third being texture replacers and geometry updates. Outside of de-leveling the world (like a true RPG) I try to get my game running as close to the original as possible, just more fixed and prettier.

So the ARC GPU line-up from Intel kinda shrunk. It looks like these are all pretty low-end cards now, with nothing competing with the RTX 3070 or above (Intel are now claiming there never was a 3070 competitor, that box is just intentionally blank). They also seem to be pulling more power compared to the competition.
So the prices for these are going to need to be very competitive, especially with the launches of the next AMD/NVIDIA cards due very soon. I'd definitely be waiting for the reviews before putting an order in.

Intel are plenty rich enough to develop and produce a card, don't think there was ever any doubt it'd come to market eventually - they're claiming that they have the best value price/performance, but all the info so far has been very carefully choreographed by Intel (like LTT's fawning video the other day). They're just a bit late in the day when next gen cards are on the horizon.
If they are well priced and available and can match the other offerings in performance, then they might present a compelling purchase. I just want to see the reviews without employees from Intel hovering over people's shoulders as they're filming.
