I wonder if Nvidia is cranking up the performance not for games, but other applications such as 3D rendering and AI/ML. If you look at the benchmarks for Blender [1], a popular open-source 3D software, you will see the 4090 easily beats out all the other competitors, with 2x the rendering speed of the second on that list, which is another Nvidia RTX card (3090) that used to be the fastest till the 4090 came along.
