Honestly, with how fast memory is being consumed nowadays and the increased focus on frame generation/interpolation vs “full frames”, I’ll keep my 3090 a little longer instead of upgrading to a 5080 or 5090. It’s not the fastest, but it’s a solid card even in 2025 for 1440p RT gaming on a VRR display, and the memory lets me tinker with LLMs without breaking a sweat.
If DLSS4 and “MOAR POWAH” are the only things on offer versus my 3090, it’s a hard pass. I need efficiency, not a bigger TDP.
