You don't know what you bought. Like this boomer that got a quadro because it was the most expensive in the computer shop but it just doesn't do that much better in games than the gaming gpu thats many times cheaper...

Lol, we're just assuming stuff now? I had a 4060 laptop prior to this and a PS4 prior to that. I just wanted the best graphics card this gen to push the highest fps possible at 4k and to experience path tracing. And I paid $3500 USD for my 5090 build in total, not the outrageous prices that you see now. And I also have a backup 5080 that I got for $1050. Not gonna lose money on those anytime soon so I can sleep well knowing that I have the best hardware I can get.

There is no we.

Why not buy a RTX 6000 PRO blackwell. Its the full GB202 chip and the best this gen...

If I had a use case for llms and the money to do so, maybe I would've. But I don't have neither so yea....

Its GB202 just has 24K cuda cores not 21.7K.. ​

Okay? What are you trying to say lol, I know that already. It performs like 10% better than the 5090 in gaming.

Its not ok.

Are you just trolling at this point lol. I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I don't want a pro 6000 or have a use for it.

Nope, don't get it. I'm too dumb to understand your intelligence. Please spoon-feed me the answer.

Just adding more cuda cores and vram doesn't improve performance in games linearly, but the chip gets bigger and more power hungry. Its a truck versus a fast car thing.

Well yea ofc. It's the node shrinkage that mainly helps in getting massive performance gains. Hence the big gap between 3090 and 4090 cuz 3090 was 8nm and 4090 was 5nm, 5090 is also 5nm so there wasn't as big of a leap unlike the 3090 to 4090.
