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. |
Tbh, I will be waiting regardless, but I'd rather settle for what I originally paid for with my 1080ti, that being £600+, for a 4080, instead of 700+.
Even though the gains from going from a 1080ti to a 4080 would be large on a spec sheet and game benchmark, I already know the 4080's limits so far, and with RT it's not really that great, esp when it is paired off against the 90 card, and then anything lower than the 4080/90 just goes downhill, so if that's how it's gonna be, I'm in the mind to expect myself waiting to either snag a 3080 at 600+ and wait another 4yrs and see how 5000 compares (because by then the 5000 series should see better gains than the 3000 series, which would make the jump more substantial for me), or wait for the 4080 to go slightly below 700 and snag that then and wait with that card till the 6000 series shows up.
Either way I'm still playing the waiting game, and I really wish I wasn't forced into doing this for the 3rd time in a row now.
