That 3 time jump feels more steep compared to my original projection of what I wanted to jump towards (1080ti>3080 and hold off for 5 more yrs) But I guess seeing as how you jumped quicker to the 4090 than you did from 1080 to 3080, you'll be more than sorted for the next 5 yrs like I've been with my 1080ti (though at this point I'm obv going to struggle with AAA games like I was last yr and will do so until I bite that bullet). |
Yea I do plan to keep my 4090 for longer than I kept my 3080. Things just lined up pretty well for me to check off wanting a Halo product as far as getting a promotion from my job which meant some bonuses plus funds from mining when crypto boom happened and such. If the performance was similar to Ampere where it's like going from 3080 to 3090 was 10-15% faster for $1500 USD, I likely would have skipped Lovelace altogether. Also helped that because the 40 series are priced to high and Ampere cards barely got a discount outside of the 3080 Ti/3090/3090 Ti, I was able to sell my 3080 for a good amount.
But I doubt I'll be upgrading to a 5090 or 5080 from my 4090. I'll likely keep this until at least the 6xxx series. Mainly cause we are at that point where the 4090 is so ahead of the consoles that until next gen consoles come out, the visual upgrades on buying a new gpu will likely be minor even with RT on. Hopefully people will continue to not buy the 4080/4070 Tis though and the prices come down. If the 4080 comes down to $700 which may be unlikely, it would be a great upgrade for you.
