With the recent launch of DLSS 4.5, there's been a lot of buzz about its performance compared to DLSS 4 and 3. If I have a 5050 card that supports DLSS 4.5, will it outperform the 4060 Ti or 4070 when playing newer games like Resident Evil 9 at 1440p?

I’ve gotta say, the 5050 is not even in the same league as the 4060 Ti or 4070. Newer cards simply have better performance and quality. The 4060 Ti alone is around 20% faster than the 5050, so if you're serious about gaming, those are the options to consider.
Just to emphasize: having the newest model doesn't always guarantee the best performance. The 4060 Ti and 4070 truly outperform the 5050 across the board, even when using DLSS 4.5. So if you’re thinking about an upgrade, those are definitely the better choices.
The 4070 is significantly better than the 5050, even with DLSS 4.5. In terms of pure performance, the 4060 Ti outshines the 5050 by about 20%, while the 4070 outperforms the 4060 Ti by roughly 30%. So, even without considering the upscaler, the 4070 would still provide much higher frame rates and better graphics overall.
Let's break it down: all RTX cards, including those from older generations like the 20xx and 30xx, can utilize DLSS 4.5, but they don't perform as well as newer models. Overall, in every scenario where performance is key, the 4070 will trounce the 5050. Unless you're looking for power efficiency or specific design quirks, it's not worth opting for the 5050. If you can afford it, go for the Ti or 4070!
