No, I cannot justify spending full price RRP on 2 year old tech.
And seeing as the 4080 is in my view a terrible proposition there's not much choice left is there.
Eh?
How does its age have anything to do with value for money. Just because the 40 series lauches, does not make the 30 or older cards suddenly un-able to play games.
Claiming that the 4080 is a bad proposition, and so the only choice is the 4090 is also a bizarre stance. Neither card has launched. We have seen no real benchmarks.
We havent seen what AMD is going to bring.
You make out like you need to buy a GPU right the very second you can on the 12th October.
Why not wait? Wait for AMD to respond. Wait for the 4080 to actual hit shelves.
Wait to see what happens with reviews. See how well these cards end up performing in the games you plan to play.
In 2 months time, you could still go ahead and buy a 4090 if that turns out to be the best card for what you want. At least at that point you will have data, rather than blind-buying a near £2000 GPU...
Pc gaming is what u make of it.
i wanna use a 4090 for
1. triple monitor gaming 4K OLED 55'' + sims
2. high resolution VR gaming once headset comes out
3. geo-11 custom drivers (only select games are compatible with this PC)
PC gaming is still incredible but you need to put work into it sadly.
I cant imagine even a 4090 is enough to run 3x 4K. Not without help from DLSS or turning settings down...
For point 2.), why buy a GPU for a headset that does not exist yet? By the time it does... who knows what GPU tech is out there?
How does point 3.) need a 4090?
