It looks like he was having hard time with almost everything not just AMD's misleading marketing, you have Nvidia's low quality adapter, RTX 4090 being oversized card for the compact cases, Intel Arc GPU's driver/control panel problems, overpriced AMD motherboards and CPUs and on and on and on lol

Let's be honest here lads, the GPU market has been a complete shitshow these past 2 yrs lol.

Yeah the 4090 is the fuckin bees knees, everyone knows that, but we can't all afford it, it's fucking chonkers and drains a lot of power to top it all off.

We're also entering a new eco crisis and power bills are going up and up, so like, I don't know why we should see the 4090 as some beacon of a win, when the rest of everything else has been such shit, I consider the 4090 a fuckup if anything, so I can get why Steve would be assmad, because everything imo has been shit. 

4090 has been a shit show no doubt but it is a beacon of win because it's the only product with the least amount of compromises. It will likely beat the 7900XTX in Raster by most likely 15-20%, it will beat the 7900XTX in Ray Tracing by 80+%, it has industry leading Ai upscaling that neither Intel or AMD can match, it has Reflex that no one has an alternative to or will have in sometime. It has industry leading encoders, it has cuda acceleration for workstation, it has support for Optix which beats 64 core threadripper CPUs and dual Radeon Workstation GPUs single handedly in Blender and the list goes on.

Now you may not care about a lot of that and that's fine. But that doesn't mean others don't. And that doesn't mean it doesn't come at a cost. 7900XTX costs $1000 and not $1600 not because AMD is doing you a favor, it's because the 7900XTX is inferior in virtually every area and in fact, most of the time, by a lot. The only area it's good in is Raster gaming if that's all you care about, great. But the 4090 no doubt a win for Nvidia because there will be nothing like it from AMD or Intel for the rest of the generation at any price point and for that, there is a cost.
