Even with worse driver support on Linux, Nvidia still outpreforms AMD cards of the same class on every front, except net power consumtion. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago Hope it was worth it And thanks, btw permalink fedilink source parent [–] 3bygone3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) From what I've seen they are leading in power consumption as well. Yes, 5090 is more power hungry than any AMD consumer GPU right now but it also comes with adequately higher performance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 1 point 3 months ago With respect to per-watt metrics, 4090 was such an efficiency leap that 5090 struggles to match it. AFAIK 4090 still holds the efficiency crown in discrete graphics. (Maybe not for other acceleration tasks. Also driver/FW updates sometimes shift benchmark standings over time.) permalink fedilink source parent [–] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago It's fine if you buy it because you know what you need and know that you're paying more because of X. I'm talking about people that buy it just because it's NVIDIA with no thought for anything else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) I have simply kept buying nVidia as I understand what the model numbers mean, I have no idea of what AMDs GPUs model numbers mean...

The -XT models are generally stronger. Also, in an attempt to adapt their naming schema to nvidia's amd's 7900 series was succeeded by the 90xx series. Generally speaking nvidia seems to have the edge in ray-tracing, while amd offers faster rasterisation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CybranM@feddit.nu 0 points 3 months ago If you have deep pockets and want the best performance Nvidia is the only option permalink fedilink source parent
