Not looking forward for my 4090 to fall from grace with a ?5090?, there's this weird unexplicable irrational good feeling of knowing i have the best card possible. I spent 2550$ (canadian/after tax) and another 350$ for the EK water block.

lol pic 😀

I really want the 5090 for 4k high refresh. If they drop the 4090 to $1000 and fix the burning issue then I might but probably not.

I doubt that'll happen until it goes eol. Even then, maybe not.

The 5090 isn't arriving until 2025, so we have a while. Normally I'd be excited for new hardware, but this was the first and last time I'm paying such a ludicrous BS price for a card. I don't care how much money I have, unless there's a list of things I absolutely must run without delay that requires an upgrade, I'm not paying the retard price again. I thought I was robbed with the RTX 3080, oh boy did I not expect things to get way worse. I'd say don't worry the competition will have something, but AMD is skipping a gen to jack off and pat themselves on the back, and the highest end Battlemage part that Intel MIGHT release is estimated currently to hit 3070 performance.

Yeah, same here. Only reason i got the 4090 is because I had been holding out and unfortunately it was the most logical card to get, specially when i wanted my next card to be fully water cooled. If i'm spending money on a water block that is only compatible for one card specifically, it better be a card i'll use through at least two generations. Perhaps if the 7900xtx was already released by that point, i would have gotten that instead but the 4080 for its price and only having 16GB of ram didn't make sense to me. 16GB is the minimum for in my opinion for high end 4k gaming today, 24GB should be enough for years to come and then still be a great card for my wifes system after that.

I mean, think about it like this: Does the trend stop? Will new cards become significantly less expensive, while offering increasingly big performance gains? Or will the trend continue, cards getting more and more expensive, both absolute and relatively to their performance? Which way will the company's interest drive their product portfolio design? If one didn't buy an expensive GPU now, what should make them pay even more when the time comes for the next expensive GPU? My personal opinion and brief conclusio: The 5090, if it has 50% more relative performance than the 4090, will it not cost at least 130% what a 4090 costs now? I can't honestly see it coming at the 4090's price, and I'd bet money on it never costing less than a 4090. Especially not if it has chiplets in it's first generation.

lol Video cards will become an investment like a house, you'll sell it a decade later and get your money back plus inflation.

To me it might turn into a piece of memorabilia: My 2080Ti arrived here in early 2020... it brought me through some long hours at home and I'll always remember.

5090 in October 2024 and 5080/5070 in 2025 is what im expecting. We should see more leaks next year. As for AMD and if they will release high end gpu next year we'll see who knows. Rumor is that rdna5 will come soon after and rdna4 will offer very competitive midrange cards.
