See my picture. I cannot assesss professional application, but Nvidia wins there probably too. So 4080 is winning 8:3 or 9:3 and is worth $200 extra, or more.
AMD needs to drop the price of the 7900 XTX
significantly.
Uhhhhh, your going to have to define your wording in your chart because your phraseology acts like these cards are miles apart in the categories you chose. Especially considering some spots are just wrong. The metrics seem all over the place so I can't tell how you are defining your wording in certain categories.
For starters, the rasterization performance is better on the 7900XTX so not sure why both are listed like they are exactly the same.
How do you define RT performance being very good on the 4080 yet just adequate on the 7900XTX, I agree the 4080 is higher but the only card out that really does well in ray tracing is the 4090 so what are you using to define that judgement?
The 7900 XTX has lower idle power draw so that line is just plain wrong. Also even if the two were reversed why would a couple of watts be considered that much difference in judgement?
Multi-Monitor and video playback are higher by around 20 watts which is very confusing why you consider one high and the other low.
Then 3D load, again definition because the difference is like 50 watts? Why are we talking very good to adequate?
PSU requirements are also wrong, I mean I see 800watt so not sure where your getting 1000watt + unless your picking one of the extreme editions?
I don't see any major reason to drop the price of the 7900 XTX other then people would like it (I mean I would love it if all the prices dropped). The cheapest 7900 XTX (Not including an open box deal I see for $899) is $949 while the cheapest 4080 Super is $999. So 50 dollars less while performing about 3-4% higher overall in rasterization which is how a majority of people are going to use the cards. Ray tracing is selective and a performance killer on everything, power consumption differences are minimal (When you get 100watts difference on average is really where you might talk about the difference because it can vastly change cooling requirements, power, etc), higher VRAM is generally better if you don't replace your card every year as we have seen in the past (Albeit, both have a good amount), last would really be the frame generation which both have (though Nvidia's has the edge overall).
Totally agree. Realtime Ray Tracing is the most grossly overrated gimmick in today's gaming world. I can name only 2 games where Ray Tracing makes a a little difference in graphics fidelity:
Cyberpunk (not worth the performance impact) and
The Ascent (superbly implemented with minimum performance impact). Other than that, is a disabled by default "feature", together with the crappy DLSS. And yes, without RTRT, even a 3080 card can play the latest games with full details and FPS.
Relax my friend. They are making most of the money with their overly expensive Data Center professional cards, not with the gaming ones. Their return of investment is probably around 1000% or more, so no need to cry for them.
Totally agree.
I admit that I do not know the exact current power draw of 7900 XTX (with the newest driver), but it has been a problem for a long time.
When you see the power draw of the 7900 XTX in this video compared to 4080, you may think that if a 4080 can work with 750W PSU, 7900XTX might work OK with 850W, but just ask 7900 XTX owners, what PSU are they using to be able to run the card stable...
Ok dude, we literally have the numbers from the review on here. It is not the much of a difference...
Totally agree. A 2 years old GPU sold for 300-400$ more than it should have been sold, it's by far the worst investment anyone can make at the moment. Is a no brainer.
I really miss high end GPU's being under 1k. It really is pushing PC gaming to be significantly more difficult to keep up with and for people to get into.
