Title says it all really, I was open to buying an AMD card but they havent blown the doors off, 4090s are just not viable cost wise when I have a house to run and bills to pay, all the used 3090s have probably done more mining than a Chilian rescue team, so your only left with two options really...a 3080 or 4080, and if you budgeted about 1000 then you can stretch that little further to the 4080 I guess...that's what I'm doing anyway.
Only question is do you wait or get it ordered for the holiday....
 
Now, no need for that kind of comments folks, I think its perfectly reasonable to have a budget for this kind of thing...yes I have bills to pay, who doesn't? unless you still live with mum and dad?

I think around 1000 is a high max figure to spend on something like a GPU but I use it pretty much everyday and my kids play as well and the 2070s is showing its age so...time for a new one.

I have other hobbies that require cash and the kids hobbies need cash and their 100 quid trainers every other day it seems so having a budget for stuff is just something grown ups do, but its nice to come on hear and get folks thoughts on how best to splash about grand on a GPU.

That said Im kind of feeling myself getting pulled to a 4090 as I can put i through my company (Sole trader - nothing spectacular) as a company expense.
 
3090s are 850 new now...thats tempting, but then you get into the whole well if I add "just" 300 more thats 4080 money...lol
My son is slaughtering me on Company of heroes 2 every night and my g-sync only monitor is 3440*1440 so the 3090 would be just fine....but £850 for just fine? I want to play cyberpunk @100fps etc so ill probably go 4090fe when they show up again, or a 4090 at the same price, or 4080 if they go below a grand...in other words still no idea what Ill do...lol
 
Went the 4090 route in the end

Gainward GeForce RTX 4090 Phantom 24GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card​


Should be in in the UK on the 22nd seemingly so I might get it for xmas, pretty much the same price as the FE4090 is at the minute.
