Yea I don't think there's much winning no matter what you buy this gen. Nvidia may as well start at $750 for Rtx 5000 and even if you have 2k to spend, you won't feel like you got something untouchable like you did with a 4090.

Getting Radeon feels like you are buying from a sleazy car salesman. Their leadership is so garbage that they have zero idea on how to move forward until Nvidia shows them the way so they can price their shat slightly under them. And it feels like they will always be behind Nvidia or possibly even Intel with feature sets.

And getting Intel still feels like you are getting into an experiment. Driver issues, cpu overhead and questionable support for old games and emulators. But least their price and hardware is amazing.

Like I already know some folks are going to grab it regardless, but when the 4090 was out and new, it was their literal halo product from the whole line and it's metrics made sense as to why it was, and it made sense, despite the stupidly high price.

This 5090 though just ain't it, in metrics, maybe design?, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the 5000 series will follow that cut down look anyway, so that leaves the 5090 with nothing to boast for besides price. 

The uplift is shit, no matter how they'll try to spin it, not compared to the 1080ti and not even with the 4090. Nvidia have basically done a slight 1080ti job with their 4090 when you look back on it now and compare to to the 5090. It's basically like the 1080ti vs the 2080 all over again. So now this has me wondering, "is Nvidia going to just copy MS and make good halo GPU, next gen bad halo GPU, next gen good GPU, etc?, because it's starting to look that way, especially with the uplifts getting smaller and smaller each gen now too. 

Yeah Radeon can suck a big one. Their feature-set is late, some of it still needs to get the okay from the games themselves, their RT is also not up to spec and their AI chasing still leaves them 1-2 gens behind Nvidia. There is virtually no point in us waiting to watch AMD wait for Nvidia to price reveal, just so AMD can charge $20-50 cheaper, which will still mean nothing, when you're behind Nvidia in multiple ways, that $50 ain't gonna pay itself off like that. 

I'm sure once Intel gets past their experimental phases and gets some good stability, then we'll find out what they are like amongst Nvidia/AMD and then we'll end up deciding who they are trying to be like (I pray they just be themselves and don't chase Nvidia, or don't copy AMD and wait their asses off and lag behind).
