RTX 5090 vs RTX 4090 -- Disappointing Reality of Nvidia?

You are missing the point: There is no such thing as base performance any longer. DLSS is the future and has to be included in any metric that looks at performance. 

DLSS cannot function without an ideal base performance. What a ridiculous statement.

DLSS should not be included in any performance metric as it is deceptive marketing. DLSS and frame generation was great to attain FPS locks with high refresh rate monitors (such as attaining 120fps for a 120hz screen) but when you need DLSS to just attain 60fps which is the defacto refresh rate for budget level consumer monitors, you've lost the plot.

Honestly I don't know why you'd even try and defend this practice, it ultimately makes for a worse for experience for us as consumers whilst GPU manufacturers save having to spend money on new fabrication processes for more powerful GPUs, cause why bother? they can just give it some AI cores and DLSS the lost performance.

  • This is 100% fake. Review embargo is Jan 23, and Nvidia only gave out cards to a few channels with much larger subscriber count than the two channels posted in this thread. Everyone who received

  • Anyways, based on Nvidia's own slides, we know the approximate performance gain of the 5090 over the 4090 that we can expect. It's anywhere from 25% (in a CPU limited game like Far Cry 6) to about 40%

I just want a smooth, stutter and artifact free 60 FPS on my 60 Hz 4k monitor.  I don't care if card manufacturers are using AI, DLSS, FG, or raw compute power.  If they can get the AI to provide the same visual quality as the raw compute, then I really don't care the method.  

What we see with current DLSS is lesser quality (think blurred glass screens) and FG (artifacting, jiddering, etc.).  If that can be resolved in AI advances then I'm all in.  It will get to a point where there is no trade off, whether with the 50 series or later.

all NVidia RTX cards will be able to run DLSS 4.0 super resolution, 50 series and earlier.

both, DLSS 4.0 AND FSR 4 both seem to have solved this. the previews look very promising.

I don't watch YouTube reviews, but I have read a couple (I must be old-fashioned!), and the consensus seems to be if you own a 4090, then don't bother. It isn't a giant leap. Not like 3090>4090. 

So in reality

A 25% increase in price for an average of 30% increase in raster performance whilst resulting in a 42% increase in power usage.

To compare...

The 4090 was a 7% increase in price for an average of 70% increase in raster performance with a 15% increase (give or take) in power usage in comparison to the 3090.

 

This is why deceptive marketing simply hurts consumers.

Yup I think my 4090 will do just fine for now. Next upgrade will likely be the generation after the 5090. First will upgrade my CPU and RAM later this year
