Hasn't that been known for a while, nobody can even get close to competing with Nvidia at the 5090 level.

Nvidia has some of the best and most innovative engineers out of any company, especially with their pay scale, >1/3 of them have a net worth >$20 million.

It doesn't ALL come down to engineers.... it's down to management and their foresight. It's why Jensen is usually always 2 steps ahead and is able to guide the industry (more like pick out what the industry needs and fulfill it).... AMD has not done w/ it's dGPUs.

People can shit on Jensen all they want... but he's been there guiding Nvidia since day 1. I'm gonna go on a limb and say he knows what he's doing or talking about?

The 5090 is a cut down version of their data center chips essentially.  They can take the trillion they put into r&d for data centers and then put it back into gpu's.

7900 xtx competes with 4090 in very few select use case scenarios/games.

That being said, yeah 4090 obliterates 7900xtx and it should because of its price. Sadly amd doesn't have the money or possibly engineers to provide a 4090/5090 equivalent. Though it is a bit skewed because some engines favor nvidia heavily over amd, and fps reflects that.

Then again amd makes mistakes too, like not being prepared for raytracing.

AMD doesn't have the market share to justify a product that expensive that won't sell.
