 It should run it as a 9600k, just no overclocking. 212 evo might be too tall. Had to change fans to fit her video card in (fans were on the side panel). Her vid card isn't super tall I don't think.

I've been hearing a lot of talk about DLSS and FSR.  Sure, DLSS is fine-tuned and only available for Nvidia cards.  But only for the generation of card it was tuned for.  So DLSS 1 works for the RTX 20 series cards.  Where DLSS 3 only works on the RTX 40 series.  You get the picture?  AMD on the other hand felt this was absurd.  So, they made their FSR work on all of their cards, regardless of what generation it is.  Mind you, it won't work on legacy cards.  Only cards that are still getting driver update support.  Which makes sense really.  But AMD raised the bar and made FSR work on Nvidia cards as well.  All the way back to the 10 series if I'm not mistaken.  And from what I have been hearing, FSR 3 may actually support Intel cards too.  But XESS was not mentioned in that video so....

 I think DLSS only is 2000 series and up, DLSS 1-2 work with any RTX, 3 only with 4000 series. And Nvidia Frame Gen only works with DLSS 3. this would let at least RTX 2000 series and 3000 series be able to use DLSS (2 I think) with AMD's version of Frame Gen giving simillar quality and FPS boosts to rtx 2000-3000 series, compared to 4000 series DLSS+Frame Gen.

I think I heard that DLSS 2 should be backward compatible with RTX 20 series.  But even so, why isn't DLSS 3 at least backward compatible with the 30 series cards?  It's because outside of the 4090, there really wasn't much of a noticeable uplift in performance (if at all) over equivalent 30 series cards.  So Nvidea needed something extra to make the 40 series cards look more appealing.
