It's the hope of many that there are just a few more months to wait until the next generation of graphical technology hits the scene. With AMD looking to launch RDNA 3 possibly in October, and Nvidia aiming for a similar launch window for its upcoming Ada Lovelace range, the race is on to once again be the top dog in the GPU arena. As things move on, more leaks and rumors make their way to the surface, and a recent one about one of team green's RTX products gives an idea of its overall performance.
In a recent tweet from user XpeaGPU, as reported by Videocardz, it appears as though the «full» AD102 from Nvidia has been tested in Remedy Entertainment's 2019 release Control.

Having said that, it's already been speculated that Nvidia's RTX 4090 could be twice as fast as the 3090. If these rumors are true, then the next flagship release from team green could see significant performance increases when compared to even the high-end Ampere range. These latest developments suggest that it could even be somewhat faster still, but there's been no official confirmation on this so grains of salt are recommended for now.
It does feel as though competition is starting to
