Reply to comment by Zer01123 in [D] NVIDIA RTX 4090 vs RTX 3090 Deep Learning Benchmarks by mippie_moe

Just a small correction: according to Geizhals RTX 4090 is 2030€, and 3090 is 1150€. So the 4090 would at this point need to be around 176% as powerful, but the prices of the 4090 will fall and of the 3090 will rise, so the comparison on the MSRP makes sense, since that is more stable than street prices.

Don’t forget it consumes more power so the performance increase needs to account for that

That would be another metric, something like performance per watt per dollar, which is not included in the benchmark, and which is probably uninteresting to people, since then cards like 3060 would come out ahead.

So long as MSRP continues to be more fantasy than reality, I am not interested in seeing it in comparisons. I will become interested only after it becomes reality again. It might be a while.

That's on you tbh

I don't think it's very scientific to judge properties of a card based on the whim of an unregulated agent. That way we could conclude that ancient cards, which are basically worthless, are the best.

But other than that I don't think there's a single person who would recommend anything other than a 3090 even before these benchmarks. Same situation as 1080Ti vs 2080Ti, the 3090 is just too good of a card.
