I think the shader count is incremental across the board. Which is why the 5090 too in raster is pretty poor compared to the 4090. Whatever % you get in uplift you are paying for.
Nothing surprises me any more tbh. This is what happens when one company competes with itself. It will be 5% next gen like when Intel used to dominate the CPU space. Only for more and more money each time.
In fairness, Intel weren't just deliberately holding back to milk consumers, though there probably was some of that going on. They were failing at silicon manufacturing and chip design. Nvidia aren't. They are still making incredible devices. I don't mind these performance uplifts, especially given they're on the same node roughly. What I resent is the VRAM capacity and prices people are expected to pay for such modest uplifts. DLSS 4 and all these new optional extras should be just that--optional extras that enhance rather than replace. That's how I see it.
That's really quite pathetic. It seems that Nvidia has hit the limit of what their architecture can really do, and they're now dependent on higher TDP and gimmicks like frame generation.
They could do better but they are now an AI company so everything is going that direction sadly.
