That would probably be to AMD's advantage. There will always be some people desperate enough for an upgrade that they'll jump at the first to come along, even if something better is just a few months behind it.

Without wanting to re-open debates on AMD's marketing... I think launching slightly later than Nvidia played out very badly for AMD in the last couple of generations. The performance levels of the Nvidia cards were already well-known by the time AMD hit the shelves and, at that point, "a bit cheaper, competitive in raster, much worse at raytracing and upscaling" isn't a compelling sales pitch, at least at the higher end of the market. Go first and they get, however briefly, to have the fastest card around for a while (assuming their top-end card can beat the 4090, at least in raster).

Everything's pointing to it beating the 4080 or close to it, but agree with the rest.
 
Really? Not even that good?

Edit just read the other thread. People seemed to be saying it would be close to a 4080 - or at least it needed to be. Though there's no evidence. I'll shut my cake hole

Is it because it's really a 5050 laptop GPU? :D

oh btw a b200 is 2xb100, so these numbers seem to be suggesting a raw 84% uplift from previous generation, the 5090 is going to be a beast upgrade (i hope).. hope they launch it on time as always

I can see many who said they would not upgrade their 4090 throwing their money at Jensen even if it can be 50% faster than a 4090 personally.
 
Yeah if the 5090 is leads ahead of the 5080 like the 4090 was to the 4080, I'll probably just stomp up the extra for it unless we are talking about something silly like >£2k then I'll pass. 50xx realy is severly needed now, 4090 is getting battered in some of the latest RT games now :o But again, as per usual, it's down to **** optimisation.
 
the b100 is a pure AI chip, it has no RT pipeline whatsoever, my guess is the 84% is a mix of tensor and shader performance uplift, more on the tensor side if i am to guess and so i believe dlss performance will be greatly improved as well

Im about half way through on a steam deck, yes there are compromises, but perfectly playable.
In your defence, it is at least a couple of years since I fired up a game on anything but my deck, so i might try it on a PC and have a proper OMG moment, what have I been missing out on :cry:
And then go buy a 4090...!!!
