All these GPUs share very similar parts and features, so if one can do AI upscaling, why can't they all?

obviously official support would be great and the radeon division of amd should really get their shit together. but i'm still happy that i can enjoy FSR4 via optiscaler with a rdna2 gpu on linux no less. amd is only harming their already not so great reputation.

This seems like such a short-sighted move on the part of AMD. The ~$50 discount you get with AMD GPUs is not worth the hassle of subpar software support when you are spending $500+ (if not a lot more, the cheapest 9060 XT in my country is around ~$500) a component that you expect to use ~5-7 years minimum.

As much as I don't like Nvidia, I can be confident that my 3080 will continue to receive support for at least another ~5 years. It's a perfectly capable GPU even at 1440 (let alone 1080).
