3080 vs 3090 - what about for VR?

[DELETED_231285]

Clearly a lot of very knowledgable and experienced folk here and lots of discussion about how disappointing the performance improvement is of the 3090 over the 3080, but I haven't seen any discussion or theorising about if the difference might be more (or less) pronounced when it comes to VR?

I can only throw out raw guesses here, but I'd imagine the difference would be bigger there? More parallel processing demands could benefit from more CUDA cores perhaps? The combined resolution between the screens?

Also the fact that while 10 or 15 fps difference means very little on pancake, it can make a huge difference in VR...

What do you think folk?

More than double the price for 10% improvement. Ooooooooooffff that’s got to hurt. Let’s let the dust settle and see what both companies come out with.

3090 makes no sense for gaming whatsoever. It only makes sense for compute. It's really a Titan replacement.

It could make sense for gaming if you live in a year round really cold climate and would otherwise pay money for heating!

You can probably watercool it and use that water to take a shower!

You could power an entire 4 bedroom house's LED lightbulbs with the power it draws

That means a good saving on electric a year? Because the boiler probably uses 3000W and up to 8000W on boost.

True that, why bother with a boiler? Nvidia have a cheaper more efficient alternative. Seems they have innovated in a completely different area by mistake

If you have a bigger house, just go SLI

RTX 4090 launch "which boiler should I go for?)
