I don’t think they’re going to raise the price of 5090 much if at all. By making it seem like a good deal they’re normalizing $1600 cards to people who would otherwise have gone for $800-$1200 tier cards. The 4090 sold better than the 3090 did on the steam survey despite being a newer card. My bet is between $1600 and $1800 for the 5090.
Lol they ran their steam deck comparison at 1080p. I would’ve preferred to see it run at native 800p but at a lower power level limit instead
On a 8gb vram GPU there’s a bizzare reverse scaling effect when upsampling to 2160p because there’s not quite enough vram. 720p render resolution has more consistent textures compared to higher render resolutions and the higher you go, the more frequently low resolution textures show up
Not so much GPUs themselves but GPU shader compilers really struggle on some code with a lot of branching and loops, operating on strings.
