Comment on NVIDIA is full of shit

  Not 1440. 3440x1440 is 20% more pixel to render than standard 1440’s. It’s a WS.

  And yeah it’s not matching a 5090, a graphics card that costs more than 3x mine and sure as hell isn’t giving 3x the performance.

    I assume people mean 3440x1440 when they say 1440 as it’s way more common than 2560x1440.

    Your card is comparable to a 5070, which is basically the same price as yours. There’s no doubt the 5080 and 5090 are disappointing in their performance compared to these mid-high cards, but your card can’t compete with them and nvidia offer a comparable card at the same price point as AMDs best card.

    Also the AMD card uses more power than the nvidia equivalent (9700xt vs 5070).

      Most people do not use WS as evidenced by the mixed bag support it gets. 1440 monitors are by default understood to be 2560x1440p as it’s 16:9 which is still considered the “default” by the vast majority of businesses and people alike. You may operate as if most people using 1440+ are on WS but that’s a very atypical assumption.

      Raytracing sure but otherwise the 4090 is actually better than the 5070 in many respects.

        I’m not sure what you’re comparing at the end unless you meant a 9070XT which I don’t use/have and wasn’t comparing.

        Sorry I thought I read you had the 9070 XT, which is better than the 9070 that you have. The 9070 and the 5070 are the same price, and are neck and neck in performance , so the nvidia card isn’t “insanely overpriced” compared to AMDs offerings, is it? The 9070 isn’t a “fraction of the price” of the equivalent nvidia card, it’s the same price.

        As you said, there are 40 series cards that are better than the 50 series cards apart from probably the 5090, and the prices on those is cheaper than the 9070.

    Better bang for your buck, but way less bang and not as impressive of a bang.

      Not all of us can afford to spend $3000 for a 20-30% performance bump over a $700 option. I don’t really understand how this is so difficult to understand lol

      Going Nvidia also means unless you want to be fighting your machine all the time, you need to keep a Windows partition on your computer. Have fun with that.
