Remember that Path Tracing can kill a 4090 even on a game like Portal. And if you want to see how it performs without Ray Tracing, all you gotta do is look at a 3070 performance cause that's all it is at a lower power consumption and Ada features. I think Nvidia is just largely banking on the fact that Radeon largely isn't competing this gen so if a person wants to upgrade to something new and shiny, Nvidia is essentially the only choice sub $800. You can get RDNA 2 but a lot of the stack is similar in Raster performance to Lovelace with nearly double the power consumption and worse Ray Tracing and less features. Even the vram argument is iffy now since a 4060 Ti now has 16GB. And if the GPUs don't sell, they will allocate the stock towards the enterprise Ai craze where Microsoft and other companies keeps ordering their gpus in packs of 10,000. |
Not really that surprised, but also not really that "wow" at the 3070, when I just noticed my 1080ti there, a 3 gen old card, managing 132fps (I was expecting a 3 gen newer card to do better on a game like Witcher 3, without the RT).
I've had this thought for some yrs now that Nvidia simply doesn't want to be much in the market for consumer GPU's now (We've seen this in AI self driving cars, the Cloud and other tech firms, hell even Nintendo), so it's not all that surprising to see them bank on crypto bros, then immediately jump o banking on AI bros and MS, instead of coming back to us.
I don't see AMD competing in a way that will get Nvidia to suddenly care again, they've shown us some time ago that they've stopped, they'll pull a Konami and leave one day, just watch (and honestly, good, because I've grown to dislike Nvidia and jensen's shitty mentality over the yrs anyway).

A CEO that's come from corporate tells me that LTT is going to go full corpo in the future. Why didn't he hire someone that's from somewhere smaller?. Literally any time in history I have seen someone from big corpo, it has resulted in said company growing for sure, but also becoming more corpo (Like look at what Michael Eisner and Katzenberg did to Disney over the yrs, they made it worse, despite giving us the decade long Disney Renascence) .
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
