Get any decent 144hz 1440p/4K monitor and you'll be very happy even just for desktop usage.

Yeah...but that might push my 1070ti a little too much

There are still massive problems with OLEDs as gaming monitors and that's why I'm sticking with my gorgeous glossy IPS for now
Maybe I'll eat these words when the next-gen panels arrive, but for my PC needs OLED's not doing it for me on the desktop.
isssuewes...
I can't afford OLED. IPS here. have a VA too - yeh it's a bit smudgy. but good enough as a secondary. na i dont think va's are going to be around much if at all in the future...although they have some blacker blacks. IPS seems pretty good.
only oled is on my phone. it's very nice viewing. i can imagine oled monitors are pretty nice viewing. maybe in 5 years.
60fps vsync on baby.

definitely
5090
9800X3D
CU DIMMS to the max
that's the escalatory big dollars ftw of the supplier chains.
I wont be at that level , if ever, for another

tbh I think a used and sensibly priced 4090 will become the new high-end sweet spot, sure if you want the fastest it isn't going to be that but its still going to be top tier for another generation imho we've not seen anything yet that suggests otherwise.
I was thinking about going to the 5090 but I just can't really justify it and it would burn financially to spend north of 2k on a GPU... games will still look immense on the 40 series cards and even the 30 series cards for a good while yet.
ill get my 5090 first then upgrade to the 7800x3d or 9800x3d had enough of intel the sons pc amd 7800x3d all his stuff was bought of OCUK its amazing no issues what so ever .

5090's going to be the best card ever made 600w tgp 2-slot thick and 50% faster than a 4090.. got everything going for it, atleast thats what i tell myself before hitting the bed
This is what I'm probably going to end up with. Think the 5090 will be too much for me to justify but 4090 should keep me going until the 60 series come out after which I'll upgrade to the 5090
Define sensibly priced...
Hmm I’m getting convinced that the 5090 will require two 12v cables… each requiring two pcie power cables. So same 4 cables as per the original octopus adapter… just split across two inputs.
That would 100% solve all the power issues, right?
All the 3.1 PSUs having two of these adaptors, and the ultra slow rollout of putting the 3.1s to market, is the giveaway. In what other circumstance would you ever need 2 12v slots in your PSU, but only one set of MV connectors…?

not happening.. they want to maximize chances of sale

Surely they be doing this to cover for any changes in the future or if someone wants to run two GPU's
Just like hardly any systems need 8 Cpu/PCIe connectors that my PSU has on it

Not sure they would go with that, however maximising sales to people who buy a 5090 is maybe not something they need to worry about. Anyone doing that would probably be able/willing to also purchase any additional items (such as compatible PSU) as well, that's how I see it at least.

The PSU would need to be able to supply up to 1200watts just for them two connectors

Maybe having multiple cables is a sensible idea due to the newer 12v connectors being problematic, spreading the load over more wires may result in less melting ? Possibly it's better to have 600w split 2x300w(1200w capacity) than 1x600w cable ?
