Despite me planning to give it my all on release day, I'm expecting to miss out on an 5090 FE and probably any AIB I target in the frenzy. So my thoughts are turning to plan B, so advice would be welcome.
My last full build was fairly high-end, but 7 years ago, and the entire rig will be going to one of my kids. I've got a pretty decent new build to replace it, but it is just missing a GPU (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64GB CL30, Asrock Nova 870E Mobo, NZXT Kraken Elite, Full Lian Li SL Wireless, Lian Li 011 Evo RGB Case and a Samsung Odyssey 57" Monitor).
I'm coming from an RTX1060 6GB, which has done surprisingly 'ok' over recent years, but I've not been pushing it hard, and have only been an occasional gamer. What temporary GPU would you all recommend that might tide me over until I can secure a 5090? I would buy it, then sell it again (or upgrade my kids PC), but don't want to lose a ton of money in the process. I was thinking a 4060ti? Thoughts?
