We also partly ended up with the 5k 5090 because it’s just the TITAN RTX of the 50xx generation - the absolute top of the line a card where you pay 200% extra for that last +10% performance.
nVidia just realized few generations back that naming those cards the xx90 gets a bunch of more people to buy them, because they always desperately need to have the shiniest newest xx90 cards, no matter the cost.
I hope you’re right because Intel and AMD still can’t compete with high end Nvidia cards, and that’s how we ended up with a $5000 5090.
AMD can already beat nvidia at the price tiers most people actually buy at, and Intel is gaining ground way faster than anyone expected.
But outside of the GPU shakeup, I could give a shit about Intel. Let China kill us. We earned this.
