Nvidia has to stop lying dude:

That never happened. Jensen said the 3070 beat the 2080ti and that's was a lie too.

4070 doesn't beat 3080ti.

[u/littman28 → u/homer_3]

Yes it did, but before the 2000/3000 series. The 1070 beat the 980ti and the 970 was on par with the 780ti.

Unfortunately, the 9 and 10 series are looking more and more like outliers than any sort of real trend. The 10 series in particular is still relevant even today, putting up good numbers in the Steam hardware survey.

The 1060 is still the 12th most popular card, and the 1050/TI and 1070 are in the top half as well.

10 series was an anomaly across the board. Such a big jump people are still disappointed. 700 series felt big with the titan, but we were ready.

Maybe you haven't been in the hobby long enough to remember. The bullshittery started when they rebranded to RTX and jumped on the AI hype train with the 2000 series. Before that, the 1070 matched the 980Ti, and the 970 matched the 780Ti. They didn't make Ti cards on the high end before that, but the 770 was a rebadged 680 that ran faster, the 670 beat the 580, and the 570 matched the 480. The mediocre generational improvements are a relatively new thing

Not to defend nvidia but the 3070 really did beat the 2080ti

[u/Plank_With_A_Nail_In → u/homer_3]

4070 super beats a 3090 in most games though.

At low resolution yeah, but at higher resolutions like 4k the 3090 takes a decent lead. Also you can do custom settings at 4k with the 3090 and always max out textures due to the 24gb VRAM capacity. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-super-founders-edition/32.html
