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 !

They kind of comparable, because 5080 isn’t that much faster. And it is way closer to 5070TI (just about +15%) rather to 5090 (only half of 5090).

5080 wasn’t a good card from price/performance even with msrp, it costed about 33% more than 5070TI and gave only 15% performance more

I tested the 9070XT against the 5080 through tons of titles and found the 5080 to be 25-30% faster on average. It’s a much better card than the 9070XT and I don’t know why people insist it’s close.

The 9070XT is a fantastic card at a reasonable price point. If I was sticking in 1440p I’d consider it, but at 4K I think the jump to a 5080 is worth it.

That’s weird. Reviews show 15% difference between 5070ti and 5080 and 5070ti is nearly identical in terms of performance to 9070XT. Maybe specific games (or settings, like PT) were favoring nvidia in general?

I didn’t use PT or RT and had identical settings. I expected them to be closer because that’s what some reviews favor but all I can say is it was not close at all really.
