- Nvidia claims that the RTX 5090 is up to 2.2 times faster than the RX 7900 XTX in AI benchmarks.
- In contrast, AMD’s results suggest that the RX 7900 XTX is faster than both the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 in several tests.
- Both tests reveal a significant difference in benchmark results between Nvidia and AMD.
Nvidia has fired back after losing to AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX in the DeepSeek AI test, asserting that its RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 GPUs are noticeably better than the RDNA 3 flagship.
Nvidia wrote a blog post stating that the RTX 5090 is up to 2.2 times faster than the RX 7900 XTX.
Why it matters: The difference in benchmark results justifies the need for caution when evaluating marketing claims, as manufacturers may optimize their tests to favor their own products.
Nvidia used Distill Qwen 7b, Llama 8b, and Qwen 32b to benchmark the RTX 5090, RTX 4090, and RX 7900 XTX in three DeepSeek R1 AI model variants. The RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 were said to be 124% and 47% faster than the RX 7900 XTX, respectively, while using the Qwen LLM with the 32b setting.
The RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 outperformed the RX 7900 XTX by 106% and 47%, respectively, using Llama 8b. Compared to the RX 7900 XTX, the RTX 5090 was 103% faster, while the RTX 4090 offered 46% faster performance with Qwen 7b.
When compared to AMD’s testing, which includes the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, Nvidia’s results are stunning. In comparison to the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, AMD claimed that the RX 7900 XTX was up to 113% and 134% faster, respectively.
With the RTX 4090, Nvidia presents a quite different image, demonstrating that it is significantly faster than the RX 7900 XTX rather than the other way around. The GeForce RTX 5090 in comparison destroyed the RX 7900 XTX, offering more than double the performance.
This serves as a helpful reminder to be skeptical of benchmark results offered by the manufacturer. However, it’s always best to wait for third-party results, instead of relying on Nvidia or AMD marketing claims.
