Careful mate, some folks round here don't seem to take too kindly to folks spending money on things other than GPUsIt's taken away that voice in the back of my head that kept saying YOLO and potentially splashing out on a 5090 but that's a grand saved I'll put towards a holiday instead
But otherwise... wise decision. Personally if I had a 4090, I probably wouldn't bother buying another GPU for the next few years.
Needs to be significant performance improvement to be worth paying hard-earned money for an upgrade. In the 100s of %s.
Exactly. Forget this nonsense and lies about economical when the GPU itself guzzles more power. Even recycling-wise, most folks still keep and use their GPU boxes, for sending off for repairs, RMAs, or even just to sell it on later on down the line. Clearly Nvidia just wants to get a high score on making customers pay more for lessIf I am spending £2000 on a GPU I want the flashy box, with extra gloss, and embossed logo, and the useless accessories.
Even still, a nice fancy box for a product, can end up being a nice display piece. Even when that product doesn't work anymore. Or it can be reused to store dog food
