Upgrading 4090 to 5090 - minimising upgrade cost.

The xtx was such a better value than anything nvidia put out this generation, that this might be the first time in 15 years I'm going to be actively shopping AMD

My CPU is the bottleneck in iracing VR with my lowly 4080, and it's the fastest gaming cpu out there

IDK. We'll see what their product stacks look like
 
I don't understand this whole thread. Two questions...

Q1. If you have the disposable to afford a 4090 in the first place, why would you be so concerned about prioritising minimising the upgrade cost over just enjoying the card until upgrade time?

Q2. Why is everyone so convinced the 5090 will be well over £2k? The 4090 was roughly the same price as the 3090 and I don't see any reason why the 5090 wouldn't come in at roughly the same price point, say £1800 max for the FE.
 
Seems Nvidia is not releasing 5090 soon as per Kopite. Only getting 5080 this year. It looks like Nvidia knows AMD isn't going to have an answer to 4090 so why bother releasing something better?

Or it's just the rumour mill doing its usual thing, fire out enough crap and eventually they get something right among all they got wrong. Give it a few days and we'll be reading its only the 5070 this year.

Well the RoG strix 4090 when it was released in Uk and Europe cost £2600. So 3k is not really that much more for the people who bought it on release

But looks like Asus has already been testing the water to see if they can get away with charging over 3k for a gpu ;)

Yeah I saw it and someone here has it in their build. I did think about it but after the 3090ti strix liquid cooled fiasco I am not touching their water cooled products no matter how shiny that is.

And it ain’t nuthin compared to strix mountain.

And yet they couldn't invest any of that income in proper customer support and servicing of their stuff, it seems. :p

Why would they want to do that, If their Asus GPU fails or they get any problems with it they just dump it and buy another brand new Asus GPU :cry:
