Disappointed in gaming performance

In the raw, no DLSS, these drivers are providing the 5090 with only a low 9% to 18% increase in raw performance over the 4090.
The increase in performance from the 3090 and the 4090 was significant.

For algorithms and CNN the increase is about 24%-29% due to grater memory and some other changes. So for that purpose its was somewhat in line with expectation.

For the gamers out there, in the raw, no DLSS, a low 9%-18% increase is one of the lowest increases in performance I've seen.

Yes, I have set some new high scores, yes it is faster, yes, there some new gimmicks available, but such a small margin in the raw performance.

I'm going to try and see if some of the prior driver releases and see if its just this driver or the overall product.
(..
.add in the price increases, the miserable launch, the early build quality issues etc.)

As just one example, you can see the small jump in performance here (no DLSS):

and here:

The link / examples given are not the only representation, but the savvy observer, the incremental increases in performance across drivers and hardware can easily be seen and tracked. Not just from my scoring, but from other contributors.


Hopefully it just this particular driver. Anyone suggest what the best performing 5090 driver is? I'm new to the 5090 scene so I'm starting with the latest driver


But so far, the 5090 is not the leap the 4090 was over the 3090

IMHO
