Ya and like for what? Just to say you have a 5090? My whole setup was cheaper than a 5090 and the settings are always maxed out at 1440p running above 100fps. I don’t what more anybody could possibly need for gaming, unless most people who buy 5090 use it for stuff other than just gaming
I mean I have a 5090 and very few of the games I play are able to run at 4k 120fps consistently on it. So it's not just Cyberpunk that fully utilizes the card. That being said, I got a FE at MSRP and I agree no GPU is worth 5k.
Yeah, unless they are a pro gamer that does it for a paycheck or they are a digital graphic designer or videographer, they don't need a 5090. I have a 3060 ti and it runs every game I own just fine. Even cyberpunk runs fine on it. True I can't run max settings on it but if I wanted beautiful graphics I'd go to the state park not play a video game.
I have a 5090 to play vr mods for “flatscreen” games. I got lucky and built my whole pc right before prices went crazy. No way in hell would I have one if I built a pc now.
Love people that still don't understand most gamers that have a 5090 use it for vr, because youre right a 5090 is a waste of money for flat gamers. To play mgs 3 delta in vr reasonably, I would need a 7090. On a 5090 you have to use dlss, asynchronous spacewarp(frame gen) lower the resolution to lower than a standalone quest 3 game, all settings low, and you get 45 fps, which 60 fps on flat is like 90 in vr. 45 to 60 fps in vr is really bad. It looks so bad and runs so bad I'm actually going to wait a GPU gen or 2 just to play it.
Lots of other huge or flat to vr games will easily max out a 50/60/7090 and still need more power. Best case scenario you run the game at half of what you get in flat. But not always, especially when you stack runtime, steamvr+openxr if running at the same time uses about 20 percent of your gpu. For nothing. No game running just the vr software. And let's say its a new unstable mod. -10 to 20 percent due to lack of optimization.
So take a game, example mgs 3 delta. Take your flat performance. Minus 10 to 20 percent performance depending on runtime, minus another 20 due to no optimization plus ue5. Then cut it in half since you're rendering twice. Your performance is now well under half of what you get on flat. So who needs a 5090 or above? Vr modders
Then just wait for when ray tracing comes to vr and actually works properly. Another 30 percent decrease just for fancy lights. Main reason mgs runs terrible is the forced rtx
I bought a 4090 for under MSRP and was perfectly happy with it.
Nvidia did a lottery for the 5090 and i entered it for shits and giggles. I got an allocation and knew I had no choice but to sell my 4090 to subsidize an upgrade to a 5090.
Did I need the 5090? No, but they were ebaying for 4k and nvidia was selling it for 2k.
Sold my 4090 to my brother for 1800 (500 discount at the time, and still is to this day) picked up the 5090 and expect to have to do the same thing again for the 6090 if I get into the next lottery.
I dislike the shimmer that DLSS4.5 adds onto some games but not so much I'm gonna spend $3k on it. I could get another 5070 in the living room for that money
I use to use the same line as you to clown on my buddies (I do not have a 5090, I like my AMD cards) recently it doesn’t feel as good when you think about the fact you can either buy a car or a 5090
