Have the money for 5090 but...

[TNA]

Surprised no one has already asked, but if you are only a casual gamer, do you have any interests that you are more passionate about?

Burning money

You sir are a few short of a picnic

How big would a £115,000 BLT be? That's the question.

Blow it all on big pile of white sugar and store it in your back garden, next to some bees.

my friend bought himself a 2 bed house then travelled the world in a coke fuelled party for a year to blow the rest when his nan died

Is it money to burn though? Are you earning enough in your day job not to miss it? If so then buy two! Otherwise you might end up feeling a mug after the high wears off and you're playing something once a fortnight as the card rapidly depreciates! What about the rest of your system? A 'light gamer' rig might be a severe bottleneck.

Thank you all for the advice. Yes I agree I would be wasting my money but we shall see how much of a downgrade the 5080 is compared to the 5090 I suppose. I love my bikes so who's maybe just get a mid range 2k PC and maybe a turquoise yeti bike

Condolences on whoever died

My mother. A year with ovarian cancer. Still cry in the mornings

My thoughts are with you and your family man, I know from experience how rough it can be. Can only say it gets a little easier with time but it always stays with you, is a part of you.

£2k = Midrange.... SMH (not a judgement on you, just the fact that that is somewhat the reality!)

Ah man, condolences to you. Ignore all the negative things said here and focus on some of the good advice you were given, because there's plenty.

One day you'll think of your mum and you'll smile. It'll take time but it'll come.

Sorry for your loss. Honestly I would take some time out for reflection. I'm going to sound super boring but put the money away. Your future self will thank you so much. 115k will go extremely quickly otherwise. Invest it and carry on with your life.

Gaming is honestly just not that rewarding nowadays. Money is no object for me in the slightest and even I felt disgruntled buying a card recently as there is just not that much to enjoy and I missed playing 'casually' rather than having to max everything out and feeling like i was missing something.

Imo wait for 5090 announcement in early January, you can use GeforceNow to tide you over in the meantime, only a few weeks left.

I have money to burn due to inheritance

If you have money to burn give it to a registered charity rather than lining Jensen's bulging pockets with even more cash that he has already in memory of your mother a far more useful use of cash they could actually do with it

Charities are scams
