NVIDIA 4000 Series

Using a less cut down chip of 95% instead of 89% would get you +10%, the higher bandwidth from GDDR7 another +10% then add +20% for the new 3NM node and 15% for architecture improvements and your already at +55% so not to dissimilar to the +70% which the 4090 has over a 3090.

Agree... in best case scenarios! Overall it will likely be the usual 25-30% :) (apart from the obligatory lock ins and proprietary features they can share).
 
Well the 4090 only got a big jump in performance from the 3090 because it skipped 2 nodes right? So assuming that doesn't happen this round for the 5000 series, we definitely won't be seeing the same performance uplift.

Makes sense to hold onto your 4090's and skip a gen.
 
4090 was way more than just nodes helping the uplift, it was significantly over-specced:

Nearly 2 years on and still nothing touches it from any vendor.

The 2022 Neo G8 32" doesn't count even if it was one of the first 4k 240Hz panels, it used DP1.4a and DSC which is display compression over HDMI and DP to reach 240Hz and whilst the image quality is claimed to be nearly the same as uncompressed, it's not quite "native", nor is it DP 2.0.

Its 25.92Gb/s 1.4 vs 77.3.7 Gb/s DP 2.1, the 128b encoding is significantly higher vs the 8b encoding.

Do any of the panels today count?

The even bigger question is, is the 4090, as powerful as it is, capable of pushing over 120fps on 4K displays taht are over 144Hz?

The answer is not really on the latest gaming engines. Here are a couple of comparisons at 5160x2160 with ray tracing and then path tracing. Note that DLSS Performance was used, and Frame Gen.

Ok I have a 12700KF so the average fps range will be higher with say a 13900KS or 14700K, but it won't be that much higher given that the CPU usage shown isn't showing a CPU bottleneck at this resolution anyway. And it certainly won't be anywhere near 30fps+ higher lol.

So really, DP2.0 being on the 4090 would be largely pointless for modern gaming as the card just won't do those framerates to meet the refresh rate maximums.

My 7800 XT can, or does that also not count because of your qualifiers for this too?
 
I don't even understand what question you are asking there lol. A 7800XT does not do over 120fps at 4k (with full ray tracing/path tracing) to benefit a 120Hz+ 4K display.
