If you play mostly single player games, and especially those that support RayTracing, the RTX 4080/4090 are better. If you play mostly competative multiplayer games, RTX 4090/4080 are still better, but not by as much. In other words, nVidia won't be dropping the price of their cards any time soon. In fact they're likely to re-up the price of the 4080 in countries where they had previously dropped it.

I was really rooting for AMD to have a big win here, and I'm sadly disappointed. I am however excited about AMDs next generation, as the 7000 series cards are essentially the first of a brand new architechture type that looks very promissing. The fact that they've designed things in a way that can be scalable, should honestly scare nVidia, much like AMD did with their CPU and terrifying intel. I guess I had just hoped the AMD would have been better considering they waited longer to release these cards.
