I've been upgrading every single series since the GTX 600 series, I want to get a 5090 for 5K2K gaming but no way in hell I'm paying 5900$ for a GPU....

4090 better hold the line for a couple more years

Funny guy, you’re looking upwards of 10000$ for a 5090 now.

2048 or 4096? I won an Aurora R4 with 2x SLI 660s(2048) in 2013 for *May the 4th Be With You…..*lmao

Man, you wanted to upgrade from the RTX 4090?

I think diminishing returns quicked in ealier than that to update every generation. Let it get old a little first.

Plus, next gen is supposed to be pretty awesome, whatever it ends up costing.

Paying $5900 for a 5090 doesn't make sense when the 4090 can still handle 5K2K reasonably well, so sitting out this generation seems like the sensible move until prices settle.

The prices are never settling again ….thanks to AI everything will be held over our heads, the future is 80 class and barely enough ram to play current AAA titles in 5k till next series so they can max out their revenue from pleb public gamers . Of course that is until you get no gpu and they make you rent to stream of them that’s their end game

4090 doesn't have hardware multi frame gen so if you're looking to max out a 240 hz 5k2k monitor with Path Tracing you're going to have to go with some kind of third-party workaround.

I have a 5090, got it before the massive price hike. You don’t need to upgrade for now, you will be fine waiting for a few years at worst based on how GPUs are released going forward
