It’s basically eq to 3090 from the benchmarks I’ve seen, and the price is nearly the same.
I don’t really understand Nvidias price model anymore and I think most are very confused. The differences between the cards are so minimal. This new 40 generation is pathetic for the price.

So like, Apple has more experience making all hardware of every type than any other company, is that it? By being Apple, in your mind they immediately have more experience making say electronic keyboards than an electronic keyboard maker? Because that is basically what you are saying. Oculus has 11 years experience making headsets, Apple has lets see…0 years experience making headsets.

That’s a case by case basis, and a total straw man in this debate. Nothing indicates Facebook has done anything to ruin Oculus in any way, instead they have provided massive amounts of funding for R&D. It’s also not the point I was making not related to the original post. A non hardware company can acquire a hardware company, thus establishing itself in the hardware business without having to build up anything. A hardware company can also make a product that flops, there is no guarantee of success by simply being a hardware company. In this case it is apparent Apple brings nothing to the table. Apples own engineers didn’t even want to launch this product, it was demanded they do. You along with others are simply fanboys of Apple who think that Apple can simply wade into a space without any technological achievements and attain success, and that FB isn’t a hardware company so they don’t know what’s they are doing. And I replied they don’t have to - they paid billions to acquire a company that did and does, making your arguments dumb, insubstantial, and not rooted in fact.

Do you not understand what acquisition means, or what Oculus does? Oculus makes hardware, specifically, headsets. They make the best ones in the world by a long shot. The industry was nowhere near the size expected, because vr is simply not popular. Apple brings nothing new to the table, doesn’t have 10 years of vr hardware expertise, the patents, nothing. Their headset has nothing groundbreaking get it? Why do you think copycatting a basically unpopular piece of hardware (at least compared to most mainstream electronics) would be any different here?

Facebook bought Oculus, wtf nonsense are you talking about? Oculus has years and years of this hardware designed and tested, as well as the most comprehensive set of patents in this arena.
Please do just a tiny google search before you say something.

Apple, a trillion dollar company that blocks right to repair, uses 2nd and 3rd world slave labor, isn’t even remotely vertically integrated, uses Samsung displays, but will take Samsung to court over the rounded corners on a design patent.

Another similar product in this regard is all LED/OLED screens. The more expensive screens have a lower percentage of dead pixels, the less expensive, more.
