Not in my opinion but whether it's worth it is down to you.
Not the best time to try and future proof your gpu with current prices tbh.
I'll be sticking with my 3080ti til at least 50 series or later as can't say I really notice anything over 90 fps on my 4K screen.

was thinking to go to a 4080 probably
is it worth going to a 3090ti or you think i'd just be wasting money?

I would only consider the 4090 or 7900XTX worth the effort of upgrading. Probably best just holding off and get a GPU next generation, turning some settings down until then.

But why though haha. Sounds like you're not sure yourself. Me personally I'd save the money, 3080Ti is plenty enough.

You get 90FPS in the game you play at 4k.
You don't need to upgrade.
You need to upgrade when you can no longer run the games you want to play at a reasonable setting.
You WANT to upgrade but you definitely don't NEED it.

Honestly I'd wait til a game that you really want to play struggles a bit and then switch, the Ti is still a damn good card tbf.
I'm here with a 3080 too. Cyberpunk 2077 was the game that made me upgrade back then from a 1080ti. I get the upgrade itch too but to me there's still nothing upcoming on that level yet.
Same here.
Have a 3080 TIFE running a 3440x1440 panel, runs games great, with DLSS to give a boost where needed (unless the game has beensabotaged sponsored by AMD.
I'd like a 4090 (only card worth upgrading to), but it's only a like, not a need.

Nah, I definitely wouldn't be upgrading from a 3080 Ti unless there was a specific game you wanted to play at max settings.
Spend the money on some great games or get a new keyboard/mouse.

i agree with this, only the 4090 is a real upgrade over last gen high/mid or high end cards. That price though, ouch

I went to 4090 for some of the games I wanted to play maxed out, stuff like Cyberpunk.
It was a frivolous upgrade that I didn't need to do, and was not good value for money at all, but I wanted to treat myself and had been just saving for a bit, so could afford it
If I was only playing one game and it was already 90 FPS though, I don't think I'd bother.
