Agreed. The 4090 is the very top end. If people find it too expensive, they can buy lower end models or switch to console gaming. Or spread the cost of the 4090 in monthly instalments with 0 interest rates!

Was it the 12GB model though?..
Also dont they usually show normal benchmarks pure raster ? Didn't see anything just DLSS 3.0 and RT
mmmmm
"Relative Performance"
Don't get me wrong, when AMD do this in a month - I'll slate them too!
This is a really odd move from nVidia - firstly the impressive 'gains' with 40xx are all shown with DLSS 3.0 so it's impossible to know what the actual raw performance uplift is (aside from the improved RT which is *also* benefitting from DLSS 3.0 here).
Secondly, devs *hate* having to do extra work to cater to niche platforms - given how DLSS 3.0 works (decoupling the framerate from the engine?) there has to be more work involved in implementing this *and* they're still gonna have to support DLSS 2.0 *and* FSR 2.x *and* (maybe, someday) XeSS.
The tech seems cool but how many 40xx cards are gonna sell at these prices? There's no killer RT games coming down the pipe (even nVidia had to use Cyberpunk as their 'poster-child' again) - and I suspect that RTX Drive thing is smoke and mirrors (remember the marble demo last time that doesn't even run at a playable frame rate on a 3090Ti).
I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews so that we can separate the truth from the marketing BS.

They've def left an opening for a $1299 7900XT and $899 7800XT though imo.
Unfortunately no it was the TUF model at £699, TBH i love it
metro exodus was amazing, cyberpunk had the wow factor for 5 minsYes they are all at it and it needs to stop really. It's dishonest to me this behaviour.

Thanks and ouch. Mind you, I skipped the last gen, so might well suck it up and grab a 4090.

I really should have snatched that £260 3060ti on EBay last night.
Ah well.
Ah well.

Do you get the feeling that the underlying hardware is not scaling as quickly now and they need software "tricks" to make it look like the new cards are much faster?
