NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 CUDA Benchmark Hints at 60% Improvement over GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

[Tsing]

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is up to 60% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti in terms of rasterization performance, according to an early benchmark published on the Geekbench 5 database that suggests the new Ada Lovelace-powered flagship can reach a CUDA Score of 424,332.

That sounds like a vast difference from 200 to 300%

60% is still a fairly substantial generational jump - if it more or less applies across the board, but yeah, when your marketing is saying 400%, that's... not quite the same bracket.

They never claimed that for rasterisation performance, only for some DLSS stuff.

Hmm.

Well, yeah, in the fine print.

But the headlines were all "Up to 400%" -- without qualifiers.

The thing is obviously impressive, its also gigantic, requires its own power outlet, and it costs your first born.
In the end, this is not the product, the products are the 4080 variants. These things are the equivalent of limited edition suped-up Corvette or some such.
Takes mindshare, works as a profitable marketing tool.
I don't know why AMD won't do the same, but I'd imagine they can't beat a top nvidia card even if they go insane in the specs, and there is no point if you can't beat them. Wished they would try though.

60% of the time it's faster every time.

So when will GPU manufacturers provide cards with slots for user installed memory like motherboard manufacturers do?

Try comparing memory bandwidth and latency between video card memory and system memory. That will answer your question or validate it.
