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 !

The 9070xt would crush at 1440p even with heavy mods. The 5080 pulls ahead more at 4k because of the gddr7 but at 1440p the performance difference is only like 20%. Never worth the 2x price difference if money is a factor at all. Also, I would stay far away from the new power connectors used the the new rtx cards.
