Feels like the world has an engineering hire issue/lack of smart engis when it comes to GPU design, because Nvidia so far hasn't skipped much of a beat in years, while AMD/Intel are playing catch up, and thus I've now got that question on the mind, because AMD had this issue with their CPU's some years back, as well as Intel.

Makes me wonder what future gens are gonna be like (by gens I mean kids) when it comes to wanting to learn GPU chiplet design, because I never hear anything about it from anyone, which makes me think that the field must be miniscule in size, because all I hear from college/Uni classes are maths, sciences, media, arts, languages and history, hardly ever "oh I'm gonna study to become a chiplet engi for AMD/Intel/Nvidia".

Like what gives?, why is this always happening in this industry?

that is very enticing, and its just dlss/raytracing where shit fucks up

Metro Exodus, RDR 2 and Cyberpunk results look dire though, but again, the 4090 is priced stupidly high, and afaik RDR2 doesn't even have RT.

Gonna wait for 1440p results though, because I don't do 4k.

I think 8k is a bigger issue than it needs to be. No one is running 8k with these GPU's, they aren't powerful enough. - You need to use frame reconstruction to even contemplate going there.

4K is still the holy grail right now, 1440P is probably the sensible price/performance resolution if you would rather chase high framerates instead.

I think if Nvidia does the following, it will be an easy win this gen for them:

Lower the price of the 4080 to $900
Release the rumoured 4080 Ti with 14000 cuda cores for $1200 to compete more directly against the 7900XTX

Personally I don't like 4080/7900XT being priced at $900. The 4080 should be priced at $700 and 7900XT which is a 7800XT is disguise should be around the same price. If Nvidia doesn't do those two things, I think 4080 will be DOA.

Just in time i was reading this article, it's really sure chaos going on!

LOL

Zen 4 Flop
RDNA 3 Flop

I gotta keep my planned on to build a Ryzen 9 7900X with Radeon RX 7900 XT rig, i don't like turning back on my rival intel/nvidia user.. XD

What the actual fuck industry LOL.

Lol well both of those are great products despite me perhaps going a bit overboard so it's not like you can go wrong. The fact that RDNA 3 now has the feature set that Nvidia/Intel does even if it's slower means that it's at a good spot. 7900X is currently a bit overpriced imo but that will come down soon enough. So you can still go with your build and it will still be great and I doubt you will regret your purchase. Sure it may not be first place but it certainly won't cost you first place money.
