Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 vs. AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: battle of the flagships

Nvidia and AMD's CEOs side-by-side.

Nvidia and AMD have been competing for years, trading blows when it comes to claiming the coveted spot of the best GPU of the year. Nvidia was often dubbed the winner in these battles, but in recent years, AMD has caught up with its RDNA 2 cards. Now, with the RTX 4090 claiming the performance crown, it's time to match up the flagships from Nvidia and AMD and see how they compare.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 is the crown jewel of the brand-new Ada Lovelace RTX 40-Series lineup. AMD is yet to release its new graphics cards, although RDNA 3 is on the way. As such, Nvidia's flagship is one generation ahead of AMD's Radeon RX 6950 XT, but the latter can certainly stand its ground. Let's see how these two beastly GPUs compare to one another.

How GeForce Now is powering Nvidia’s metaverse

Omniverse Replicator applications.

Nvidia will soon be powering its version of the metaverse with the same robust infrastructure that powers the company's GeForce Now cloud gaming platform. Nvidia revealed Omniverse Cloud during its GTC 2022 keynote, which brings Nvidia's suite of metaverse tools to nearly any PC.

Although Omniverse has been around for years, this is the first time we're seeing the suite of tools in the cloud.
