Man, if Intel could ever get their #### together on the driver and software side (Intel Graphics Command Centre ####ing blows), they could be a real threat at the mid-range level.
I finally bought a 4k TV in January, and just got around to loading up Cyberpunk on it last night. For a card that is only supposed to be for 1080 and 1440p, my Arc A770 held up just fine playing Cyberpunk at 4k, ultra settings, with ray-tracing enabled. Obviously path-tracing wasn't available, and I had to enable to XeSS, but I was getting a perfectly reasonable 40fps on a card that costs less than a PS5.
The big problem is the lack of consistency across games, which I'm guessing is attributable to the driver issues and a lot of games not supporting or doing a poor job of supporting XeSS. For example, ray-tracing was an absolute non-starter for Spider-man 2 (although that could also be a case of PS ports being generally dog####).
