GThat was the case for prior gen, but this gen Nvidia is actually more power efficient
VI implore you
Atrue they do almost 400 watt or more lol
Aits my opinion thats how i see 4090 lol
VThe 7900XTX which is 4080 tier takes 355W, the 4080 itself is 320W
©In the past we as Linux users, had a choice of using stuff that worked on Linux.
From now on we have a choice of using stuff that is BETTER supported on Linux...
All make your choice what's better in long run

GThe 4090 is objectively the best performing GPU for gaming. There's no disputing that. Whether or not it's a good value is another question
VYou can't just say things that are provably false and then just say "Well it's my opinion"
It's literally just untrue
It's literally just untrue
VThe 6500 beats the 4090 in every performance scenario, don't look it up, it's just my opinion
Aare you attempting to mock me?
©Got to love the Sprite tech in those old C=64 days 
VI'm trying to show you saying something like that isn't a good reflection on yourself. Nobody likes Nvidia but just lying about why their bad makes you look like the idiot.
GIt's best to just be factual with the GPU landscape
GI dislike Nvidia a crapton as well, but they do well performance-wise
VYep
VDo I want an Nvidia card? No
Do I like them? No
That doesn't mean I'll just start lying about them lmfao

Aif you got money then go buy nvidia cards currently in market price going wild
©Yea, but that's what im talking about... It's time for us to step back from the prformance need and demand better support in Linux...
GWell, the open source driver landscape for Nvidia is looking promising going into the future
©No thanks...never again
GSo after a point it won't matter as much, hopefully
VYeah I'm hopeful for NVK.
VHonestly, providing NVK can match AMD's open source drivers I'd consider an Nvidia card 
G^ I would too
Asame here, nvk has potential to beat official nvidia driver lol
©I gave nVidia like what...15-25 years of time to get their act sorted out?
Well too late now, they are dead for me now...
Well too late now, they are dead for me now...
GThough I think I'm gonna be happy sticking with my 7900XTX for a while longer lol
VI've got a 6700xt, it's good
GThe value proposition is nuts; half the price of a 4090 for ~20% less performance
Ai assuming that gpu beats 3060 rtx in performances?
GAnd I get first class Linux support with AMD
©My next GPU i want to buy is anything but nVidia...
I'm actually waiting what will come on the market or else go for the AMD one...was it 4090?

Ai found rtx 4090 costs 2.1k thats just crazy
GThe 4090 is one of the only GPUs to have gone up in value after its launch
©ahh wait 4090 was nVidia right? what was AMD's counter?
GBy about 500-600 USD
G7900XTX is the closest match
©aha ok that one it will be like then
Awhat you mean its closest match?
VIt's 3060ti tier although I'm assuming the 6700xt is probably about on par now.
GAs in, that's AMD's closest performer to the 4090
Geven though it's 20% slower, it's significantly better value
VAMD doesn't have anything truly 4090 tier, 7900XTX is closer to a 4080 from what I remember
VStill good value
GIt is much closer to a 4080 yeah
GBut objectively it's the closest AMD has to the 4090 as well
©It will be my choice, cause nVidia is on my "company-non-grata" list...
VGod damn Nvidia were beating AMD's ass with TDP last generation
MMy 4090 does use more power than most of my household appliances most likely
