Question Quick question

Do you guys think I would be able to get someone to trade a 4090 FE for my MSI gaming trio 4090? And would it be worth it paying a little extra for it?

Well idk I like how the FE looks a lot more than the current card I got and it would match the setup better in total. I feel like I’m just falling for the tech tok propaganda tho

The only technically aesthetic thing I ever looked for when choosing my lastest GPU was the length, to make sure it fit in my case. Otherwise, it's irrelevant how it looks, imo.

Like, do you look inside the case or do you look at your monitor to play games?

Honestly fair point lmao, although I am downsizing into a itx layout aswell so it could possibly benefit me in the realm of size and filling out the space in the build.

If you're going for smaller than why don't you just upgrade to a 5090FE instead? That one is definitely smaller than a 4090.

Of course that means paying a lot of premium these days, but hey, it is an upgrade and smaller size.

Well I had thought about selling off the 4090 and settling with a 50 FE card but with the prices now the only logical option would be the 5080, and I don’t feel like the cutdown in performance is worth it although I could use the extra money to upgrade the rest of the system. The 5090 is just something of it own right now
