Whilst I like more tools for people to be creative with, the promises in these rtx tools look less like they are enabling creativity and more like trying to lock mods to their cards and having the human input be more technical busywork than artistic endevour.

You see this a lot when there are open source versions of games, id software games, for example. People like adding fancy lighting and HD textures, which ends up making Quake look like this https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cf62542b-43f3-444b-9721-8179ad5e6c5f.jpeg

I generally just prefer the original look without the shiny, the shiny just distracts.
