If leak is true, the newly upcoming 9700 XT could retail at an MSRP of approx $479 USD which could be a huge game changer for gamers and content creators on tighter budgets.

NVIDIA never explicitly stated in what ways that the 4090 was 2-4x faster than the 3090 Ti, as far as gaming that comes down to DLSS frame generation, other than that it would have nothing to do with gaming at all.

No point losing sleep over marketing that people knew was essentially BS anyway.

Honestly, if you font care about frame gen tech, people should be snapping up 'cheap' 4090's, seems pretty clear it will smoke anything shy of a 5090 without mfg enabled.

The 4090 was and is a monster of a card and a heck of a jump from the 3090/ti (ti was a bit of a joke tbh).

Nvidia literally did and it was a while before they showed their slides showing it was only in spiderman which wasn't out yet running a unreleased version of DLSS featuring frame gen which wasn't even finished.

And people bought it just like when Nvidia said they can do 8x frame gen now but their example being a 10% boost in FPS for dark tide.

I already can see people jumping on a 4090 who won't be ready for it though.
By not having a good enough CPU, or big enough PSU or big enough PC Case for that matter.
Course it's not a new product so they should know by now.

Crank the settings and / or go to 4k and it's not really overkill, but, the fact is, on raw hardware it is miles ahead of anything other than the 5090.

I mean the 1080ti, 2080ti, 3090/ti (might as, well be the same card less than 5% in it) we're all a good step above the model down, but the 4090 and 5090 have a huge gaping chasm of increased specs, I'll genuinely be amazed if within the year there isn't a 5080ti to fill that gap from 5080 to 4090, let alone 5090 and there is definitely room for a £1500 option.

performance wise? For sure. Plenty of space.
But I doubt market wants anything at that price. If I had $1500 for a GPU I would stretch it to $2000 and 5090. Or save money and get 5080 or below.
4080 and 4080super showed Nvidia what prices people are OK with. Even $1200 for 4080 was not OK but $2000+ for 4090 was.

Yeah, but there wasn't the perfirmance gap used to split between the 2, even the 4090 is massively ahead of the 4080 in core counts.
