NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card Almost Twice As Fast As RTX 3090 In 3DMark Time Spy Extreme Benchmark, Alleges Rumor

For comparison, my Strix 3090 got 10 534 graphics score

And my Strix 3080 got 9 599 graphics score

The chip was overclocked to QS clocks (5.1 GHz single-core, 4.9 GHz all-core boost and 3.9 GHz the E-Cores) to get a better idea of what the performance could be.
Impressive results if true, but we'll see how that improvement translate across the whole range of tests.

Also, if rumors are true, the 4090 is on track to be a monster as predicted (a 2x increase is what was announced a while ago).
But don't get fooled by this rumors and go buy a high end 3000 seies now .

By the way, in case someone reads something about this and gets confused:

The price of ethereum rises by over 48% but miners are still selling their GPUs. Here's why
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-price-of-ethereum-rises-by-over-48-but-miners-are-still-selling-their-gpus-heres-why/
In the last week alone, the price of Ethereum has risen by over 29%, and in the last month has gone up more than 48% (opens in new tab) from its low $994 on June 20 this year. For everyone super-excited about the collapse of cryptocurrencies, specifically those that have held modern graphics cards hostage for the past two years, that's got to be a concern.

But actually it's possibly not worth getting too worried about the supposed thawing of this crypto winter. There's a good chance that the price of ethereum has been rising to such an extent precisely because it will soon not need those GPUs to function as a digital currency. And by soon we're talking about potentially September 19, 2022.

Even though the price has been spiking recently, the number of miners punishing their graphics cards with the ETH algorithm hasn't gone up at the same level. in fact the global ethereum hash rate (opens in new tab) has effectively stabalised post crash. So yeah, they're still listing their cards on ebay. Or their local equivalent.

Let's hope they don't delay the change again.

I don't really pay attention to those bench types, but what in the actual fuck

Who's soul did they squeeze to jump ahead so far?.

AMD has basically woken the lion and Jensen is gonna come in with Lovelace and show them what it means to be the Final boss.

I'll be interested to see if RDNA 3 can keep up but more importantly, I am interested to see the performance uplift in Ray Tracing. I think we will finally be able to play Cyberpunk at 4k with Ray Tracing set to Max + DLSS at 90+ fps. Least that's the dream anyway. A 3090 can play it at around 45fps with DLSS set to quality. Then with more and more games coming out with Ray Tracing and DLSS, Nvidia is going to keep on winning.

Hopefully more Ray Tracing games adopt Nvidia's Reflex though as that will make playing games at 60 fps have the input latency of 120fps.

While the original tweet has been deleted, the performance of the 4090 so far is in line with what kopite said a year ago:

NVIDIA Ada Lovelace ‘GeForce RTX’ & AMD RDNA 3 ‘Radeon RX’ Next-Generation GPUs Rumored To Be More Than Twice As Fast Than Ampere & RDNA 2
https://wccftech.com/nvidia-ada-lovelace-geforce-rtx-amd-rdna-3-radeon-rx-next-generation-gpus-rumored-twice-as-fast-than-ampere-rdna-2/

based on drafts, by my calculation only, the perf scale I guess:
NAVI21 0.9X
GA102 1X
AD102 2.2X
NAVI31(4 GCDs) >2.5X
GH202 >3X
I'm optimistic. But Jensen and Lisa need time to solve problems especially bandwidth. Boring days, wait and see.

3090 Ti buyers after seeing the Timespy scores:

Yea I think he deleted it after the new Nvidia and RDNA 3 "leaks" started coming in. But we will see. It's one thing to have god tier performance but it's another thing to see how much it will actually cost to get that performance.

I think $2k would be the limit for me, and that depends on how the 4080 compares.

Yea same. I'll be aiming for the Asus Strix 4090. I swear, if I have fan problems this time around, I am gonna go full Karen.
