            I mean if you’re gonna include the games that run better on AMD in your range, might as well include the games that run better on Nvidia no? It’s more like 0-200% faster.

            All that aside the 4090 is in it’s own league, no competitors what so ever. It’s bad value yes but water is also wet, and it’s price is currently inflated because of how it’s insanely good at AI. 7900XTX is also poor value compared to literally any other RDNA3 GPU and unlike the 4090, it isn’t a halo product, but it’s pretty good if you have max 1k to spend on GPU.

        But that isn’t the alternative.

        That’s like saying buying a Ferrari is the only alternative to buying a Lamborghini.

        The alternatives are any GPU less expensive than $1000. And that’s the majority of GPUs.

          I would not agree with that analogy but if you want to use cars, I would say it’s like a Nissan GT-R is an alternative to a Ferrari. Most of the performance, half the price. And half the price means it’s available to a much wider market.

          Surely you can see $999 is a different segment to $2200.

      You can get a lightly used one for around $800, if there are some good sales this holiday season the price will drop even further.
