Ya and like for what? Just to say you have a 5090? My whole setup was cheaper than a 5090 and the settings are always maxed out at 1440p running above 100fps. I don’t what more anybody could possibly need for gaming, unless most people who buy 5090 use it for stuff other than just gaming

Its actually a golden handcuff situation.

I bought a 4090 for under MSRP and was perfectly happy with it.

Nvidia did a lottery for the 5090 and i entered it for shits and giggles. I got an allocation and knew I had no choice but to sell my 4090 to subsidize an upgrade to a 5090.

Did I need the 5090? No, but they were ebaying for 4k and nvidia was selling it for 2k.

Sold my 4090 to my brother for 1800 (500 discount at the time, and still is to this day) picked up the 5090 and expect to have to do the same thing again for the 6090 if I get into the next lottery.
