Yeah, I had a brief period I could have upgraded to a 5090 near MSRP when someone offered $1600 for my 4090. Microcenter also had a nice promotion going where you could take $400 off the 5090 with a CPU. All you had to do was buy a $50 CPU and you could have had a 5090 in very rare cases under MSRP. I am wondering if I missed out.Honestly speaking, That 4090 at 1600 MSRP or 5090 at 2k are probably the best deal for gaming.
Hard to imagine spending that much is a good thing. But at least you would know that you are secured for another 5 years, more so knowing even the PS6 isn't even close to that and that thing is 2 years away.
Even if the PS6 is at 5080 power ( to be seen, I highly doubt it ), the 4090 is still beating it with a decent percentage too.
I am super happy with the 5090 FE., and the fact that, as you said, no games are that demanding anymore. Maybe the Witcher 4 ? GTA 6 ? but those are 2027 releases anyway and I am very positive the 4090 and the 5090 will max these games 4k dlss quality with fps in the 80s range.
Still I don't regret saving the $200 and just keeping my 4090. The power draw of the 5090 just plain scares me.
My bigger regret was trading in my 9070XT for a 5070 Ti. The 9070 XT has very much held it's own in performance and stability and with driver improvements has more or less become neck and neck with the 5070 Ti.
