I have a 4090 and I game on a 1440p ultrawide. I'm good for another 3-4 years before FOMO kicks in again

There's no way the full-sized xxx03 chip is used for a 5070 or even a 5070 Ti
The full-sized AD103 became the 4080 SUPER

Would be easier just to update bios and slot in a 5700X3D. Assuming your motherboard can be updated to support Zen 3. They can be found pretty cheap on Amazon or AliExpress. Can even sell off your 3700X for a bit to fund the upgrade.
If you intend on gaming upgrading to best GPU (that suits your budget) is always better once you get a somewhat decent system and CPU.

Me upgrading from the 4090 will depend on a few things
1- ( most importantly ) is there a software exclusive tied to the 5000 series? Usually, they stick with new features for 2 generations. DLSS came with 2000, and stayed with 3000, but the 4000 series got Frame generation, in general, the 5000 shouldn't have something that is not available for 4000 users. especially when there is no need for Nvidia to release it exclusively since AMD is out of high-end market.
2- how much more powerful is the 5090 to 4090, it looks like around 70 to 80% more powerful. That's a good number to upgrade to. also, what is the performance difference between 4090 and 5080? IMO i think the 4090 will hold its value and will be more in demand than the 5080 if the performance is only 10% as this doesn't count for shit. but 16 gigs to 24 gigs is more important IMO.
3- The price. 32gig GDDR7 for the 5090 I am going to assume this is at least around 2000$ US. That is $ 2700$ CAD plus tax, now we are talking about 3000+ for me for the FE if i am lucky to get one of these.
I wouldn't pay this much for a video card even if the future my gaming is on the line. just to be outclassed by a TI or a super 1 or 2 years after.

It probably will! I guess thats a major sales pitch for the 50-series.

My brother needed a helping hand with building a PC back in January. I pulled the 3800x out of my machine and gave it to him, then I bought a 5800x 3D and dropped it in. I saw a solid increase in CyberPunk and Hogwarts (the two most demanding games I own). I'm sure buying a new board, RAM, and a 7800x 3D would be even better, but that's a lot more money.
I would look at the 5700x 3D. It's a relatively cheap drop-in that would buy you another year or two on your current board.

Unfortunately I’m sure it will be as they want people to buy the new cards.
I’m in a similar boat (4070S) as you.

My most significant upgrade will be buying a new CPU and RAM I think. Lots of stutter in games with my old Ryzen.

No. I just purchased a 3080 12GB version pre-owned. I am very happy with my set up.

Coming from my current 1660 super, im stoked to see how are gonna perform the 5050s and 5060s models to see which one would be chosen one to upgrade.

you will probably be able to keep up with Gen10 consoles with that thing on a 1440p screen lol
