Genuine question, why are people spending so much money for such a little performance increase over the 3080? I'd like to understand people's motives as you're spending an entire builds worth of money+ on a single component.
Please let me know.
If you think it would be a more sensible option buying the 3080 then soon the 3080ti/super comes out. Would all of those people who bought the 3080 be wishing they had waited? If it’s about saving money then why not just buy the 3070, it will be cheaper, or even better 3070ti/super if it happens?
Personally I am buying the 3090 because i got a good price on my 2080ti, and I don’t want to upgrade for around two years. This card will hopefully be the top of the line until the next big thing.
Nothing is certain in this game. But as an enthusiast, if you can afford it, why not? Is any of it really worth the money we pay?
