3090 is NOT a gaming card - Gamers Nexus DESTROYS the 3090

clv101 · 24 Sep 2020 at 19:54

It's been obvious since the specs and prices were announced that the 3090 was hopeless. It's a low volume, flagship product, irrelevant to pretty much everyone.

I watched both linus video's... and guess what.. they are using RTX and DLSS games. (is MS Flight Simulator RTX/DLSS though?)

Zero surprise at decent results against older hardware with RTX on. Whilst he did have negative things to say, they were almost promotion pieces.

I was really disappointed by LTT's video. Personally I've followed them for years and years... maybe I'm biased but I've not really felt a lot of biased reviews from them, but the 3090 "review"?? It almost made me want to buy one... and that's saying a LOT

*I mean the review video, not the jizzmaster 8k gaming one. However, now I think about it, that video too. nVidia feeding him lines.

Linus will do what he's told.

It's not, not yet anyway.

Linus obviously has been paid by Nvidia to say good things.

Gamers Nexus, no longer reviewing Nvidia cards, unless he buys them himself

Which won't be an issue for him. I love and appreciate his frank views.

One of the best GN vids I've seen; some funny moments.

Explains why performance sucked so hard.

Scougar · 24 Sep 2020 at 20:12

Laughing at the Jays video. Literally doesn't even really compare it against the 3080 for value, compares the price against the 2080ti instead /facepalm.

He spins it as "You pay WAY more for a Chiron over a Veyron, right??" followed by a stupid face i think.

God I hate those moronic faces he pulls and constantly slips his words up like he didn't just do it on purpose. Moron guy

Yup. I have zero issue people getting a 3090 btw, it's a fast card if you have the money. Price/Perf ratio is simply so low for actual gaming though. 10 to 15 percent.

That's the line NV have given him.

Well, it's also highly CPU bound.

In the cold light of day, people are now paying £1,700 for a graphics card...and are happy to do it.

One Thousand...Seven Hundred quid, for a graphics card to game on :eek:

Nvidia have played a blinder.

Steve's not for turning though. Clearly Nvidia aren't trying hard enough.

Meanwhile this game dev student picked up 2 to use for UE4 because he knows how to utilize the card apparently. Asked my friend who has actually shipped games with UE4 and laughed, he agreed he wanted a 3090 for his dev rig and even asked (current he runs a 2080 ti) but said 2 is really pointless.
