[@gung-hochang9573]

7900 XTX is way cheaper than RTX 4080 and provides similar performance. Most Nvidia cards are way overpriced for what you get, but their top cards really takes the cake. It's astonishing how they get people to buy them. 7900XTX provides better performance per dollar than 4080 (incl. SUPER) and usually beat Nvidia's significantly more expensive card in rasterization performance. Only in ray tracing is where Nvidia has an edge, sometimes, but the performance in ray tracing titles is so low it's kind of irrelevant. 7900XTX should be on the charts, period. They should also show prices and performance per dollar - to show where people should actually spend their money.

[@rogerschutt3626]

Just a friendly correction: AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) is not the competitor to DLSS 3 Frame Generation. FSR 3 is. It is a very similar procedure. Both combine motion vectors (getting that from the game's engine) and optical flow compute (Nvidia has fixed function hardware for that - AMD does it via compute). Both have latency reduing procedures to compensate the added latency of compute and delaying a frame. Nvidia has reflex and FSR3 has a reflex equivalent baked in. Both require explicit implementation into the game by the developer. But both are so similar (as FSR2 and DLSS2 are very similar how they work) that modders had a easy time to inject FSR3 when DLSS3 Frame Generation is supported and likely vice versa. AFMF on the other hand is not reliant on implementation by the developer - it works transparent to the game. This procedure uses a similar optical flow procedure as in FSR3 but since it does not get motion vectors from the engine it is more limited in terms of stability. Also it does not have a lag reduction mechanism built in. Although both AFMF and FSR3 FG are somewhat similar those are not the same. DLSS 3 Frame Generation should be compared to FSR3. Also an unrelated question: why is there no Radeon 7900 XTX in the benchmarks? That is the competitor to the Geforce 4080 / 4080 Super...

[@clark85]

are you serious they didnt fucking know that?

[@greenking7390]

One thing to add, AMD does not have an equivalent to Reflex. Its the other way around. Reflex is an equivalent of Radeon Anti Lag. AMD was the first to add the anti lag features.

[@leonro]

​@@greenking7390I'm pretty sure that reflex is better than anti-lag, but AMD released anti-lag+ recently and it's about on par with reflex. The only issue was that they made it available at the driver level and it tripped anti-cheats, so a lot of players had problems and they took the feature out temporarily.

The reason for it being worse is the different approach to it. DLSS vs FSR is a good example. @@leonro

AMD has released a lot of improvements, FSR3 exists and in the few games where is supported works almost as good as DLSS3 and no way in hell it’s just 2% better, otherwise here we are saying that internet is wrong and LMG is not. This review is, once again, bullshit. No sense in saying 20min of why Nvidia is releasing flawed products if you can’t bother showing the improvements of the others. Intel has made improvements, AMD has made improvements (even in RT, and not showing how AMD fares better with lumen is pure crap and not the full picture). I miss magazines, product coverage used to be slower but it was indeed thorough…

[@shuppagail]

WHY is there no 7900XTX comparison, when it's the same or lightly lower price than that of the 4080 Super?

[@gung-hochang9573]

7900XTX is actually about 100 bucks cheaper than the 4080 SUPER and performs considerably better... Not including it in the review is poor journalism to be honest. It made AMD look unfairly worse, but still Nvidia managed to look bad. That says something about how overrated and overpriced team green's cards are. Nvidia COULD beat AMD if they want, but they'd rather trick customers into paying WAY more than the product is worse. Reviewers aren't really critical enough. Again, that's saying something as Nvidia is getting roasted for their SUPER release.

[@gung-hochang9573]

@@spicywater1494 It's not wrong. It's pretty simple, you take results from review and calculate it against the price. If you end up with more performance per dollar, that's the card you should buy. 7900 XTX provides more performance per dollar. Besides, saying it's worse because of VR is biased cherry picking. You have to look at the overall performance versus price. Also, when it comes to VR, that's something that can be improved upon in driver updates. Nvidia tends to improve less over time in driver updates because they're better optimized on launch. Meaning, over time, AMD tend to improve quite a lot compared to how it was in reviews.

[@DragonKnightX12]

​@@gung-hochang9573 If you look at overall performance they are very very close in most games. Especially once you add in ray tracing.

I suspect nVidia is just reading the room. They know AMD is now on the socket (AM5) and node sizing that will finally enable them to completely obsolete entry level discrete GPUs with their future APUs. nVidia very likely won't be able to please investors with a profit margin large enough to bother creating low end discrete GPUs that can match the performance per dollar, footprint, or power efficiency of AMD APUs, so the logical pathway forward is to abandon the low end/low midrange and go full Apple style boutique and cater only to the people working with AI, or to gamers with far more money than sense.

The major knock on the 4080 was always the cost vs the XTX. Now that the Msrps are equal and the costs are so close together, the cards are again pretty much a full push (I mean the super per other reviewers only offered a 1 to 3% better performance then the 4080. So that isn't game changing, the price is the bigger change). If you don't need or expect to use any of the other features like dlss and crap, then the XTX is the better buy for a little cheaper.

Nvidia's software and features are just better\better supported. As a consumer, I go for what i think is the best value, and the tiny advantages off the AMD card just don't outweigh the downsides.

Not a single graphics card was mentioned to be put off for a later review. You are the one who should watch before commenting: 8:22 What they actually said was that they "couldn't get a consistent outputs such that we would be confident putting them on our graphs". They are referring to AMD's equivalent of DLSS + driver-level frame interpolation, it should be very obvious as they even show the option in the control panel and talk about AMD's release of the technology, never mentioning 7900XTX once while doing it! You just assume that it was somehow related to 7900 XTX because they showed a video clip of AMD's video of the release of FSR 3 and 7900 XTX is used by AMD in their benchmark. So you probably saw that while not actually paying attention to what was said. Besides, there are no good reason 7900 XTX shouldn't be included if other 7000 series AMD cards are. The point you seem to miss is that the results from 4080 S was presented without comparison results from the competing product. That should never happen in a review.

Great review! I've been using the 4080s for about 2 weeks now and I'm super happy with it. Using it for a little gaming in 4K (with DLSS) on Arena Breakout Infinite, but mostly on rendering Davinci Resolve videos. Most renders push the card to 90+% but just to give an idea 8 min video takes about 2mins. Even using Davinci AI features like magic mask/tracking is very smooth. Wonder what the 50 series cards are going to be like :)

[@TechArc_]

To be clear, FSR 3 and the driver Fluid Motion Frames are different implementations, as FSR 3 uses temporal information from the game to generate frames and requires game integration, while the driver Fluid Motion Frames adds frames after the fact outside of the game without this temporal information. These are two different things, so why show the AMD FSR 3 demo video? Also at 9:03, you showed the in-game FPS and the captured FPS by AMD's overlay. The difference in FPS would not be representative of what it actually is using AFMF, as fluid motion frames would be using part of the GPU for frame generation, reducing the'real FPS' that the in-game counter tracked. Also, why didn't you compare an RX 7900 XTX?

[@gung-hochang9573]

The 7900 XTX is cheaper and is still better than the 4080 SUPER. Ray tracing is the only area where Nvidia has a real advantage, but the performance isn't good enough for it to matter much, really. And RT titles are the vast minority of games. Besides, AMD keep up okay in RT anyway, to the point where it's not really worth it paying more for team green and get worse rasterization performance, where most gaming is. So, get yourself a 7900XTX. The drivers are fine, it's just people repeating old stuff without actually having any experience with it themselves.

So....the way Nvidia works is they design the silicon and then manufacture it. The chips that are "B" tier and have flaws they'll sell at a series launch with the flawed cores disabled and the "A" tier chips they save to make Supers. Or you can buy a titanium card that has an "A" tier chip. They never actually changed the manufacturing process. Just saved the better silicon to be rereleased later. 5% more cores? They never actually changed nm or nodes and the gddr actually got cheaper so you're really just paying extra for what they could've sold a year ago. They'll also take "B" tier top class card silicon and put it in a mid grade card with the bad cores disabled and run a slightly higher power consumption to push a couple of MHz out of it and attach a better heat sink. Hence the "Redux" comment. Since you like straight to the point and I'm not legally bound with NDA and advertising.

There is a very basic and limited summary page where they acknowledge that the 7900 XTX is the competitor to 4080 S. This does in no way account for 7900 XTX missing from all charts! For all we know the figures they quote are old numbers as other review outlets get higher percentage improvements from 7900 XTX vs 4080 S. If there's a 5 % improvement and 9 % price difference, then that translates into 13 % better performance per dollar for the 7900 XTX. That's how much the price makes a difference so many fail to realize this.

I genuinely think that LTT is a neutral party, at least to a fair degree.

Nonetheless, it doesn't matter in terms of my previous statements. The point still stands, no matter the reason for omission. And if your only takeaway from my comment is that you think I hate Nvidia and think LTT are helping them, you should read it again with the knowledge that your interpretation and assumption is incorrect. If you disagree with my statements (without putting assumptions to it), I'd be happy to hear your arguments to why you think I'm wrong. However, the anti-Nvidia narrative you claim I have is both unfair and inaccurate. I'd say the same if the brands were to be reversed. However, they are not. I am obligated to adhere to objective facts and data and unless you disagree that reviews should provide comparison of competing products in order to inform the user about the current product situation - then I don't see any compelling reason that the directly competing product should not be included.

[@gung-hochang9573]

Yes, it is. It's cheaper than the 4080 SUPER and better performing. They messed this review up.

[@TheRealFoxFire]

Thanks for the power graphs! Really helps!

[@noquedaniuno]

What matters it's the MSRP, maybe the price of the 7900 xtx comes down with it... I think

[@nisargpatel8096]

Why no 7900xtx on the comparisons? Curious about 7900xtx vs 4080S with the new prices.

[@gung-hochang9573]

Spoiler alert: 7900XTX is still cheaper and performs better. 7900XTX is the obvious buy if you like to spend money wisely. The funny part is that AMD had a price drop before the Nvidia SUPER launch and they reverted back to normal prices when SUPER lineup was launched. Then the AMD sale went up. xD If that's not telling, I don't know. Nvidia will always try to charge a lot more if they can get away with it. Unfortunately, they do get away with it because of how many uneducated people there are. Even this review doesn't present AMD's deserved win against the 4080 SUPER. Nvidia could compete on performance per dollar if they wanted, but they don't want that. They want marketing to inflate prices.

[@Gregarproto]

I like that this video was pretty quick and to the point with minimal fluff and no reading the graph line by line force feeding me the results. Almost perfect for me personally. I know some people want to hear far more details and want longer videos with reviews like this, but I hate video for long data presentation. If it's too long and just data presentation of something "routine" like this GPU release has turned out to be, just give it to me in a written article so I can read it myself. 7900 XTX is missing from most of the benchmarks though. I get the 7900 XT has fallen in price and gotten to be a good deal, especially in comparison to the 4080 and 4080 Super. But the 7900 XTX is the price competitor. And Microcenter, my preferred retailer, only ever really has one SKU of 7900 XT at a time with limited stock, 7900 XTX is way easier to find.

[@Gunner12v]

Im sure you have a reason for this, but why is the 7900 xtx in the list of tested gpus? Its the same price as the 4080 super.

[@gung-hochang9573]

They don't have a reason for this. My guess is they just weren't thorough enough and didn't want to spend the extra time on it, as they already expressed that the SUPER launch was kind of a waste of time. Which is true, but doesn't mean that the 7900XTX should be excluded. Nvidia deserves to be put up against 7900XTX because it shows how overpriced Nvidia cards are.

[@SirSpuddington]

My question then is how does AMD's 7900XTX fit into this puzzle? At the moment, AIB cards for both the 7900XTX and the RTX 4080 Super are sitting at basically the same price points at places like Micro Center and Newegg. Are the advantages that Team Green has in the areas of power efficiency and AI shenanigans enough to make them an overall better value than Team Red's equivalent offering?

[@proscriptus]

I looked at the Steam hardware survey yesterday, and not only is the 2060 still the number one card, but the percentage isn't changing. At all. I bought a used 3080 LHR almost 2 and 1/2 years ago, and with a couple of outliers, I'm still perfectly happy at 1440. Until there's 4090-level performance at an attainable price point, I'm not going to feel compelled to upgrade outside of a lottery win.

[@mjn5016]

Steam hardware survey is very flawed, don't read too much into it.

[@legendofthefall7082]

@@mjn5016why?

[@Gus-hb8bi]

Almost purchased a 4080 Super to replace my 3090Ti, but it didn't make sense for a pretty small performance "boost." I'll wait for the 5090Ti Super Premium FE with wall adapter.

[@gung-hochang9573]

Note: the others are right, upgrading from 3090 Ti to 4080 Super makes no sense and my comment was about the comparison between 4080 S and AMD's competing cards. Original comment below: Most AMD's cards are significantly cheaper while performing better. The 7900XT performs closer to the 4080 SUPER but is cheaper than 4070 Ti... The 7900XTX is considerably better than 4080 Super at a lower price. It's not too far being 4090, which costs about twice as much... The story repeats as you go down the ladder. Even better gems are the previous gen products from AMD that are heavily discounted. Because AMD was so strong last generation, the 6000 series is still quite relevant.

[@GameTimeWhy]

Why would you upgrade from year to year and 3090ti to 4080 super? That's incredibly silly

[@lukasg4807]

I mean it will be years before it will make "sense" to upgrade unless you have some crazy workflow idk about

[@Gus-hb8bi]

@@GameTimeWhy I just like new tech and seeing the difference for myself. Initially, I was going to purchase a 4090 FE, but they sold out in my area too quickly and never got a restock. Plus, I purchased my 3090Ti FE new, under MSRP and treat it like leasing a vehicle. Maybe it's dumb, but I use my computer for more than just gaming.

[@GameTimeWhy]

@@Gus-hb8bi but it's 4080 super that much of a jump from 3090ti? I honestly don't think it is.

[@flache1086]

Not putting the 7900 xtx in the graphs even though she is closer in price... ?

[@WhatWouldYouHaveYourArbiterDo]

I much prefer this format to having to sit through the three separate videos Jensen was presumably hoping to get from this underwhelming launch. I would say though that it is a bit strange the 7900 XTX is not featured in the data, given that it is significantly cheaper than both the 4080 and 4080 super.

[@Dulkh4n]

I wonder why the 7900xtx was left out T_T

[@Devil6Luter]

Y U NO 7900XTX tests in the graph / review??

[@ARMYKiller4519]

I just bought a 4070 super, upgrading from my 3060. It's night and day obviously, but another thing is, I have a smaller m atx rig and the two fan cards fit better in my setup. So performance to size ratio is great, I've doubled most of my frame rates at higher graphics settings.

[@Balnazzardi]

I upgraded to 4070 super from GTX 970...now THATS a night and day difference 🤣 But basically I only upgrade my PC once in 8-10 years and was just waiting to see what GPU might offer same kind of value as GTX 970 did 10 years ago and I believe 4070 super might just do that

[@awsomewe360]

THANK YOU for adding dots beside the lines of the graph when you mention a card. Its a great quality of life add to the videos!!!

[@nicholasferrari4187]

Why wasn't the 7900XTX included in this testing? The 4080 Super is directly in it's price bracket.

[@josuoh9888]

I think they deemed it as not necessary in their Nvidia card comparison video as it does not offer too much more than the 7900 XT in these charts. It'd only really be one or two places higher for a card that only compares with the 4800 Super for price point, which I think the 7900 XT is sufficient enough for. That said, AMD really makes bad office work chips.

[@ReasonableLogic]

@@josuoh9888 AMD is more suited for gamers and not everyday work tasks and it's obvious lmao. Also, the XTX is considerably better than the 4080/Super, so I'm not sure what you're on about. He probably didn't add it because he knew it'd out perform the 4080/Super.

[@josuoh9888]

@@ReasonableLogicFrom what I've seen in Benchmarks, FPS tests, and DLSS/FSR comparisons, they seem pretty neck and neck, with some games working better on the XTX and some working better on the 4080 S. That said, I do agree that it would've been a fine addition to the scores, but I think either they didn't add it, considering that they haven't done a review for the XTX (probably don't have one in their lab), nor does it give any comparisons that the 7900 XT doesn't already prove.

[@1slow1.4]

Just got a 5800x3d and a 4070ti and I genuinely can't be happier, pubg 1440 maxed out at like 150 frames and dirt vr steady over 90 maxed out. Long live AM4

[@Zerasad]

Would have loved to see the 7900XTX on the graphs as they are now price rivals with the 4080 SUPER.

[@kevinhoversland]

Where is the 7900 XTX compared to the 4080 Super?

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

Call me crazy, but the low end gpu should basically be RTX A2000 12 GB. RTX 3050 performance wise, but uses only 70 watts of power (no need for additional power cable, only PCI slot) vs 130 watt that RTX 3050 needs. On top of that A2000 is small and quiet. The only trouble is that it is marketed for professional use. We used to have cards like this that were marketed towards regular consumer market. So the technology is there.

[@ryangrange938]

Wheres the 7900XTX? Thats what i compare the 4080 too

[@HeyLookImGerman]

Wonder why the 7900 XTX wasn't in this video.
