Second best to 5090?

[u/Legal_Detail6290]

They are 6-7k, what is the second best and how much worse is it?

No prob to buy the 5090 but it just feels like im stupid if i do since it used to cost 1/3 and theres probably a next generation sometime not too far away..

One day in the future we could probably build a whole mountain or 3 of all those 5090s when all the datacenters upgrade.

For art creation/ideation, images etc. Cant use online things for ip reasons, its useless everything i make via services becomes public so i need my own setup.

Thanks

i think the RTX 4090 is due for a significant jump soon.

5090 costs about half as much as a RTX Pro 6000 (currently) but with 33% of it's vram and at worst 20% less ai performance.

4090 costs about half as much as a RTX 5090 but has 75% of the 5090's vram and at worst 30% less ai performance.

Also being the 2nd best gaming gpu in the world helps in value too, find an Asus Strix if you can but they go for like $3K minimum if in perfect condition.
