If it was really that close they'd have shown benchmarks - they always did when they were gloating. Yet they didn't. They don't even believe in their own product. They shat on Nvidia all night for cable issues, display port support, gpu size, power consumption but when it came to showing off their product they did nothing.
So the 6900xt wasn't a 3090 competitor? Are they just changing competition every gen based on how sucky their flagship product is?
That is your interpretation and you're entitled to...They were proudly showing off their 6000 series gpu products yet they barely showed anything now. Even if it was 10-15% slower than the 4090 it would have still been decent considering the price tag yet they still didn't dare to show their own product's benchmark results which would already be cherry picked. It's suspicious and then Azor comes out and says 7900xtx's main competitor is the 4080?![]()
Show off is for juveniles and school kids.
A direct comparison to competition is not a show off. They didnt do it because they've decided to take the efficiency road this time. Less cost on power delivery, coolers... etc... And they probably going to come close to 4090 without braking the bank.
Anything wrong about that?
Their design (from RDNA2 and on) is cheap and probably they kept their profit margins high since they've made it even more production efficient with the cache chiplets.
nVidia does not have a direct product on the market right now for that price range so there is no point to show slides where they are below the competition even if they priced it at 60% of the 4090.
Prices are forgotten more easily than raw performance on slides.
I guess marketing is not for everybody...
