Upgrading 4090 to 5090 - minimising upgrade cost.

The xtx was such a better value than anything nvidia put out this generation, that this might be the first time in 15 years I'm going to be actively shopping AMD
My CPU is the bottleneck in iracing VR with my lowly 4080, and it's the fastest gaming cpu out there
IDK. We'll see what their product stacks look like

I like this comment a lot. None of this "I am skipping this gen and getting next gen" or "I could afford it but choose not to". You know what you are and you embrace it.I don't even try to resist now, I just kinda just roll with it

That's cos we are nerdz.
I don't understand this whole thread. Two questions...
Q1. If you have the disposable to afford a 4090 in the first place, why would you be so concerned about prioritising minimising the upgrade cost over just enjoying the card until upgrade time?
Q2. Why is everyone so convinced the 5090 will be well over £2k? The 4090 was roughly the same price as the 3090 and I don't see any reason why the 5090 wouldn't come in at roughly the same price point, say £1800 max for the FE.

Or it's just the rumour mill doing its usual thing, fire out enough crap and eventually they get something right among all they got wrong. Give it a few days and we'll be reading its only the 5070 this year.

They were also sold for £1650 new too, so the prices are just made up by retailers.

But looks like Asus has already been testing the water to see if they can get away with charging over 3k for a gpu

Yeah I saw it and someone here has it in their build. I did think about it but after the 3090ti strix liquid cooled fiasco I am not touching their water cooled products no matter how shiny that is.But looks like Asus has already been testing the water to see if they can get away with charging over 3k for a gpu

Why would they want to do that, If their Asus GPU fails or they get any problems with it they just dump it and buy another brand new Asus GPU

They know people will pay it...
Wasn't there a lot of people paying not far off 3k for a 3090 when there were shortages of them a few years ago.
