I see the funny side of it :D

I only use chrome for such use cases though, I don't have any personal data on it ;)

I recently was pressured into buying a 4090fe by @Jay85...

I got one now because of the looming AI gpu shortage and the fact that 50 series won't likely drop until 2025 with a potentially massive price hike again. I was initially torn between a 4080 and 7900 xtx but by the time I considered a liquid devil it really wasn't that much of a leap to the 4090. Yeah it's expensive but it's been a huge upgrade over my 3080ti

Wouldn't go that far, XTX keeps up with it in a variety of games inc brand new UE5 titles. The 4090 was just built to be what it is, an absolute monster!

With ray tracing?

Anyways an XTX is in the vast majority of games, between 30% and 96% slower than a 4090 at any given resolution. Seems the only exceptions are Returnal and CoD Modern Warfare which sit closer to 2% and 20% margins of average fps. CoD is an AMD favoured engine anyway though.


That's 8 months old so doesn't have the current latest games, but the differential today remains the same.

As for UE5 comparisons, it's pretty clear that the engine is under-utilising nvidia cards, at all times even when the GPU load is at 100% or near, the power draw is around the 350 watts mark on a 4090, whilst the XTX is well over 400 watts closer to 460 watts:


So as there is an obvious issue with the engine n that area (among many other UE5 issues), it's not a fair comparison to make given a technical engine issue is being seen here. if r when Epic fix that, the 4090 will pull ahead like in most other engines that aren't powering CoD.
