To showcase how powerful the 3090 is, Nvidia used 8K gaming benchmarks. Who the f*ck games at 8K? And now think of the successor to that beast that is rumored to deliver 2-2.5 times more power. Why would you need that? Sure, sure, game requirements will increase as the console generation goes, and there must be someone out there that games with two or even three 4K monitors, but it feels like we've reached a point where hardware has, once again, outpaced the needs for it.

And you mention the 3060Ti/3070, but what about its successors? With a 4060Ti that could deliver close to 3080 performance (only with 8GB because Nvidia has to cripple them somehow), you'll be served for years to come for a fraction of the price and power consumption of those leaked monsters.

It's like both AMD and Nvidia are so obsessed on having the performance crown that they don't care about the sacrifices to get it.

Voxels...voxels everywhere...:P

Man! We "just" moved to RT, give them (and us) some time to adjust to the novelty .

That 8K preview was lul worthy. Even in a decade I highly doubt 8K will become industry standard, 4K is already a strain on broadcasting/streaming services. And realistically with more games pushing for more better lighting and effects like RT and the limitations on current gen consoles, its not feasible. The 3090 is just Nvidia flexing with their halo product.

i guess RT performance is something that's needs improving. Since current cards see huge performance deficit with it turned on. And seeing that's becoming more a common thing and (most likely) eventually standard in the majority of games in the near future.

That 8GB VRAM for the 70 cards are are a bit of joke though. I guess they might bump it up with Lovelace since AMD current 70 tier cards offer 50% more capacity with their equivalent card in their stack. But yeah, halo products are always pushing the limits and thats where efficiency goes out the window.

I'm not even sure if there are 8K monitors, and the few TVs that exist are the size of a wall. So yeah, 8K gaming isn't going to happen anytime soon.

RT is the biggest reason to upgrade, I agree with you, but can't they do it without turning the cards into heaters?
