Upscaling, frame generation, RT - all destroy image quality compared to legacy native rendering techniques. They all seem like things that Nvidia needed to push out to appease stakeholders (and market the crap out of them), and no matter what they do, framerates are always king. They screwed with rendering quality decades ago to make numbers larger for review benchmarks, and they still do it today.
GPU upscaling is better than running a game at non-native display resolution and having your display upscale though, and DLSS makes traditional upscaling a little better, so it has that going for it, even if making up data is dumb.

You wont even MAYBE get the chance to buy them until March. And then good luck with stock.
The new CPUs are built more for better workloads (more threads, more multitasking), not really for better gaming overall.
They will AT LEAST be another $100 more.
Figure what you need from there. IMO the new CPUs announced are not what I would wait for. This is the king đŸ‘‘ still (price, power, availability).
