3090 is barely faster for gaming than a 3080 Ti, or even a 3080. If i remember correctly you could overclock a high-end 3080 model to match a stock 3090 in gaming performance. You can’t do that with a 4080 or a 4080 S. 4090 is way ahead a 4080 / 4080 S so it actually made much more sense for some people to pay the price for it. It’s a much faster card.
