Well it is pretty simple when you focus on the titles which are not optimized for AMD. You forgot Indiana Jones BTW. AMD’s performance is simply terrible there.Well I don't think that price / performance is that simple. For example, the 5080 is ~30% faster (35% at 4k) in RT (TPU test btw), and even more so in PT games, to the point that the 9070xt is closer to a 5060ti in path tracing while the 5080 is twice as fast. So if Im playing Alan wake PT, Cyberpunk PT, witcher 3 remake etc. the 5080 isn't that bad of a value as you make it up to be and the 9070xt is terrible, barely matching the 5060ti.
So since you’re cherry picking to suit your argument, why don’t I do the same and point to the present Doom title in which the 9070XT is better than the 5080? Or I can shift the argument like you did and bring about the unavoidable reality of how awfully underwhelming the performance bump of Nvidia’s current 5000 series is over the former 4000 series.
But then again I’m not going to do that so we’ll talk if and when Nvidia drops the 5080 10-15% below MSRP and the average gaming enthusiast can readily order one online or pick one up in a LOCAL brick and mortar store for that price.
Cheers!
