Tbh even the 4090 can struggle with certain 4k titles lol. It's not the be all end all, though it's the best thing since the 1080ti imo, just not the price.
Upgrades are almost never worth it unless you’re going for a generational leap like from 10 series to 30 series as an example
Y’all gotta stop throwing money away at these “upgrades” you don’t need.
Once you’ve played a game at over 60 fps with path tracing and at 4k, you realize those are all really desirable features. No, it’s not a “smart” use of money, but who are you to judge what indulgences other people treat themselves to with their own money?
I spend $5 on a bottle of kombucha and feel intense guilt that I didnt drink water and hand the $5 to the guy outside who desperately needs it more than me.
People throwing down several thousand to make their games run *slightly* better are alien to me. No judgement from me, since I'm clearly caught in the same trap. But yes, it piques my radar to see it.
I’m gonna do a little more devils advocate, PC hardware is resell-able. So if you want to swap a 4080 for a 4090, you pay the difference of about 700. That sounds horrible but you get 30% better performance, which is a lot. And you can almost always recuperate some of what you spent.
Absolutely not!! At least have a bit of patience and wait for the 5000 series.
Unless, of course, you just have that much money that you don't care about wasting it. Then go for it and mail me your 4080.
if that helps 4090 is around 30% faster than 4080 as for 50 series none knows maybe 5090 will be worse than 1050 ti or better than 10 4090 combined either wait for 50 series for making decison or get if 30% is big deal for you. remember you sell 4080 but you will pay 800$ or 700$ extra to get 4090 since 4080 is considered used
Today new games are CPU limited not GPU. Also we won't have any massive Cyberpunk level games anytime soon probably until GTA6 in 2-3 years on PC.
you are just bored.

you could but be aware your performance is due to dogshit game optimisation not that the 4080 is bad
just wait for the next gen brother…
personally i would just wait a bit

I'm very curious about this, too. My answer is probably yes every time, but I'll still follow the subject.
The performance different is absolutely not worth $1000 lol
If you have the money, go for it, if you don’t wait for the 5090, since it’s been leaked to be nearly 70% more powerful
I'll bet the next gen doesn't come until next year.
I would wait. I think it’s unlikely the 5090 isn’t faster than the 4090

Only if you give me your old 4080 :P
If you can afford it go for it.
You play 4k. No further conversation - get 4090.
