Eh I have a 3080 and it's fine for 4k 120 hz gaming. 3090 is just a massive waste of money. I'd always suggest Asus though if you are set on it - they have the best build quality this generation of 3000 series. Personally, I'd try to get an Asus Strix 3080 or Tuf OC. Or try my luck at a 3080Ti, which will likely have better performance than the 3090 for way less.

The x27 looks like poop compared to an LG OLED. Even with raised gamma at 60FPS, or slightly reduced max nit brightness, who cares, it still destroys the x27 for picture and motion quality. If you are nitpicking over such small issues on the CX, I wonder how you can deal with the fundamental flaws of LCD tech which are much worse. Spending 1200+ for an LCD is a complete rip off by the way. Acer WAY overprices those monitors - but such is the "gaming" monitor margins, you are generally paying much more for less compared to TVs.

I actually think the 3090 is great value for money and the 3080 a total pointless card, it really should have had 16gb of ram at this stage.
the 3080ti won’t beat the 3090, it will be a between the two due to a slower bus.
the 3080 shouldn’t have been made

the cx range are probably the best gaming screens out there at the moment and any flaws are minimal, I’ve not noticed any on my 48cx
Reports are that LG is producing the 8.5G using a new production method and is now efficiently producing 77 inch and 48 inch panels. Hopefully means the prices will come down for the c1 range. I'm thinking £2499/£2999 for the 77 inch B1/C1 and £1299 for the 48 inch.
It looks like I'm going to be without a gaming "monitor" for 6 months after selling my x27. Oops.

Must have been difficult stretching it to 5m...
No need to be and arse about it, the brand works, hence they may be 5m available soon
The 5m Moshou HDMI 2.1 cable is supposed to work according to a review on the jungle from a guy with a RTX 3090.
Search for Moshou.

This must be a troll lol.
for over 3m you just need to find an active powered fibre optic cable.
I've found Hdmi 2.1 cables all the way up to 100m in length, the 100m model costs $500 lol
Maybe a Fiber Optic cable would be better
You will need one that supports 48Gbps (But there not cheap
)

not at all, been totally serious actually I thought they were going to be a lot more so Great value for me as I use it, professionally, for more than just gaming and no other card comes close.
I was ready to pay £2500 ish so £1400 was a no brainier and a bargain.

The 3080 is shaping up to be the fastest selling GPU of all time.
That the 3090 is great value for money?
edit - oh I see you’ve fleshed out on this above re: professional use, fair enough.
