Once they hone in the drivers the 5080 will run circles around the 4090.
Maybe for certain AI workloads, absolutely not for any games. Their drivers are already very well optimised, and the raster performance barely changed this generation.
Right, without major architectural changes there's no reason to expect drivers to make a meaningful performance difference except in fixing particular workloads that are broken. Average performance should not be expected to move much.
40 series Nvidia was still humoring the raster crowd. 50 they are literally providing tools to tell you what your "real" frame rate should be. It's the same thing companies got burned at the stake for gaming benchmarks. This is what happens when you don't have enough competition. The industry leader starts selling bullshit quality dives off a cliff.
