Now that the 7900 & 4090 enable 120+ fps at 4 without upscaling and 8k never seeming worth it, will we see a decline in PC upgrades? Will DLSS/FSR start to phase out?

Heck no. 4090 can't even push those levels of frames without AI, so I expect lots more raw power becoming available along with AI. Double edged sword now.
