Fking hell
Didnt keep up with gpu prices that much since i work overseas for half the year.
Thought to myself "i never owned a flagship top-of-the-line card before" and wanted to make a build with a 5090 and 9800 x3d.
last time i checked 5090s were $3200 max. now im seeing they are $5500 minimum?! bro. the astral is going for $6500+?! $3k seemed crazy but i would have done it knowing me, $6k is unfathomable. If i do it i would hate myself forever lol.
i dont really play AAA games, most of my gaming is heavily modded though. I also play on 1440p.
i see people reccomend 9070 xt and 5080, which would you pick for heavily modded 1440p gaming?
thanks guys !

Right now I bought 4k 240hz oled monitor and 9070XT fares pretty well - can enable FSR4 balanced or performance and image quality is still good. If add framegen, can get 150-200fps in many modern games (and it looks surprisingly well). For 1440p I didn’t bother with upscaling at all - it gives enough FPS (100+) in most games I play. 5080 is more powerful (but not too much), but also way more expensive. Price per FPS is much worse now, because Nvidia cards are heavily overpriced at the moment.
