4080S to ?

[MeatLoaf]

So after xmas is out of the way i want to spend a bit on the PC

One of the upgrades id like is my 4080S. I feel a 5080 might be similar performance so that only leaves the 5090.

I do game at 4K but im still trying to convince myself that its money well spent as even with the money id get back the 4080S its gonna cost a bomb

So please talk me out of it

It's literally just the 5090, and this late into the game you might as well wait for the 6000 series and ignore the refresh of the 5000.

Maybe if you can find a good deal on a second hand 4090 on the MM?

Considering its about the 4th best GPU in the world there is not much options on upgrading it. And if you do it will eat electric and turn your PC into a heater while making your wallet much lighter at the same time.

6000 series as already mentioned. Also as above I played with a RTX 5090 for a day and it basically used twice as much energy but didn't achieve twice the performance. I'll stick to my 4080 FE. DLSS 4 + Frame insertion has been the biggest boon to this strategy.
