The reason I specifically mentioned 4090 and 5090 is just that those are the only two cards AMD does not have an answer for right now. In all the other segments they have solid options. And to be clear, I really wish AMD was a real option at the top end as well, but they just aren’t yet and looking at their best card vs a 5090 it’s not even in the same ballpark.
My worry is that while I agree that AMD will have a 5090 competitor in a few years, Nvidia will also keep pushing unless they actually pull out of the market to focus on AI and datacenters (which they very well might do). Right now their lead is massive, but I could definitely see it getting much closer if nothing else.
