That's my thought. I've got my eye on a belt squat and new functional trainer for my gym which I'd ridiculously still have around £900 left after the salea dn getting a 9070xt. These pieces of equipment will literally last me until I'm too old to use them.I did it months ago, don't regret it at all. There's plenty of other hobbies towasteuse that money on
My other thought is to sell the 5090 pick up a 5080 for around £1000.
if you dont see a difference playing games at over 60 fps you might want to get your eyes checked i used to game at 60 and now anything less than 90 looks like a shuddering mess on any game with fast character movement, i dont use path tracing or ray reconstitution as i care more about hitting 120+ fps in any game i play

If you don't see a big difference above 60fps then that 5090 needs to wrenched from your hands!! definitely sell, @ 4k you can easily get away with a 9070xt.

I definitely can see a difference, but I suppose I'm more interested nowadays in the gameplay itself of a game than chasing FPS and IQ.
And I run my games as the good lord intended, clean without AI, so don't really care about FSR vs DLSS effiency. RT and PT are nice, but again, are they £2000 in my pocket nice?
Also, I'm running my LLMs off prem now, so no need for the extra floating point muscle on the 5090.
