Not sure why you're downvoted, but as far as I've heard AMD cards can't beat 4090 - yet.

Still, I think AMD will catch or overtake NVidia in hardware soon, but software is a bigger problem. Hopefully the opensource strategy will pay off for them.

Really hope so, maybe this time will catch and last

Usually when corps open source stuff to get adoption, they stuff the adopters after they gain enough market share and the cycle repeats again

A RTX 4090 is about twice the price of and 50%-ish faster than AMD's most expensive consumer card so I'm not sure anyone really expects it to ever surpass a 4090.

A 7900 XTX beating a RTX 4080 at inference is probably a more realistic goal though I'm not sure how they compare right now.

The 4080 is $1k for 16gb of VRAM, and the 7900 is $1k for 24gb of VRAM. Unless you're constantly hammering it with requests, the extra speed you may get with CUDA on a 4080 is basically irrelevant when you can run much better models at a reasonable speed.
