Well whatever the number is. If all you play is RT games, then yes it is faster. If you play a more balanced selection of games, it might not be necessarily faster.
To me even at half the price the 7900xtx would be too expensive. Like it was said before, DLSS, FG, lower power consumption, RT/PT which are going to grow in the future, all are huge advantages to me. AMD is non existent. Fair that is a good solution for others who can ignore all that.
High-end GPUs are a premium product aimed at a premium market. Is the price of a Ferrari "unreasonable" or "abnormal"? If you're into many other hobbies/activities, you'll be well aware that the best products cost a shedload of money and are out of reach for many people.
If you're into photography, the best cameras and lenses cost many thousands of pounds. Same with bicycles, where you can easily spend thousands on a decent road or mountain bike. I have musician friends who think nothing of spending thousands on guitars.
Manufacturers will sell things for the most they can get away with. In my mind, the 2080Ti was the key product which made NVidia realise that people would pay far more for a top-end GPU. Suddenly we went from the £800 of the 1080Ti to the £1200 of the 2080Ti and people still lapped it up. The market was never the same again.
Not only high end GPUs suffer from this, all GPUs do.
Comparison with other hobbies doesn't hold up. My D3300 is making just as good pictures as it did about 7 or 8 or whatever years ago (in terms of image quality). when I first bought it. So do all the lenses that I've got. Newly bought Z6II will still do great pictures too, funny enough, perhaps at times not better than the older sibling.
) . The cheap 100 euros guitar that I've got will still play the same now as it did a couple of years ago and still will do so in the future. My 2080 can't play the new "songs" that I wanna play on it just as good and can't offer the same "image quality" with games today as it did in the past... Heck, even that Ferrari will keep its performance as time passes. Perhaps even getting more expensive!

tbf all 3 GPUs will still need to be backed by a decent system.
Yeah, but on the 5800x3d it seems, at times, the 4080 is at the limit or not able to stretch it legs. How a 4090 would do then?
) I see the 7800x3d is about 17% ahead at 1440p. If I look at the relative difference between 4080 and 4090 at TPU is only 28% now. How much remains after taking another 10-17% or whatever it would be for 1440p? Does the 4090 makes sense then?
Core i9-14900K is Intel's new flagship with clock speeds of up to 6 GHz. It's actually clocked even higher than the 13900KS, thanks to an extra 100 MHz when more than two cores are active. Our review confirms that Raptor Lake Refresh is amazing for both applications and gaming, if you can live...
