The fact that the ViT and CNN DLSS models have the same performance impact is evidence that the tensor cores on at least the high end chips (but probably mid-end too) are under-utilized, given that the ViT model was supposed to be 4x as intensive at inference. 

Did you see the article with the prices in some european countries (btw, the spanish site is called Wipod)? Yeah, I'm not even surprised by those prices, tho I admit Asus maeket dominance is getting the better of them.

So, about 30% faster with ∼30% more cores and power consumption for a theoretical 25% price increase. You can call that stagnation.

That doesn't look good for the 5080.

Let's hope they really uses those extra two months and, for once in God knows how long, AMD launches a GPU with proper drivers, game support for its features and in enough quantity.

But that seems to be asking for a lot.

Probably the best review I have seen of the 5090. Shows the 3090 to 4090 had a 74% uplift but 4090 to 5090 had 27%. But the power draw difference is nuts. The 4090 usually used the same power draw as the 3090 while the 5090 consistently uses 100 watts more. I'd watch the entire video cause he brings up some good points and it's only 9 minutes long.

The requirements also show that a RT capable gpu is required. I think next gen, we will be firmly in the "Ray Tracing" era where you will need a Ray Tracing capable GPU if you even want to launch the game let alone play at max settings.
