Is it worth going for a 4090 now or is the 5090 probably out soon?

[󠀡󠀡]

I have a 4080 Super, I want to upgrade to the 4090 but it's rumoured the 5090 might come out at CES 2025 which is sometime in January I think? A predicted 70% improvement seems worth the wait.

Opinions?

What can't a 4080 super run nowadays?

Going from 4080 Super to 4090 at this moment would be pretty much dumbest thing to do.

Since you already have the 2nd best product from the 4xxx family, I would wait for the 5xxx, if money is not a concern then sure why not the 5090.

Only reason to upgrade right now is if you are a professional that could take advantage of the increased specs right now.

Some modded games may have difficulties even on a 4090, playing in 8k resolution in the few games that support would be another where the difference would be more noticeable, one's mileage may vary.

Depends what you are juicing...

A RTX 4090 is expensive, but a beast for juicing 4K HDR at 60 to 120Hz. You would want G-SYNC Monitor with a Nvidia graphics card. It makes use of the NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) with certain games, specially if you are doing ray tracing to keep that FPS up with that high resolution and quality.

The RTX 5090 will be another major leap and even more expensive. Now you are juicing 4K HDR at 120Hz+ or possible multiple monitors or an 8K monitor at 60Hz.

If you aren't using 4K... then don't upgrade.

Save up for the monitor instead, such as:

ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM

Note: Any OLED monitor would require pixel cleaning (built-in option) every now and then to prevent burn in. The point is the graphics card can only dish out what your monitor can handle/display, and this is a seriously good monitor with future proof scaling of up to 240Hz + G-SYNC. Your 4080 Super could juice it making usage of DLSS, till you upgrade the graphic card later on to score the higher refresh too.

I wanted to install the mods to make Cyberpunk really realistic, anything below 90 fps just looks really choppy to me.

Yeah, I have a decent upgrade budget so I guess about half of that will go to the 5090 when it comes out at probably $2500. A 4090 rn at my local PC store is going for about $1699. I already have a 7950X3D and 32GB RAM so no point getting any other upgrades.

I got a 2560x1440p monitor. I can't see the difference between 1080p and 1440p. My 8K 244hz gaming TV doesn't look too different from 1440p personally so I don't really see the point.

we dont know the price, also check at least reliability of 5090

going to be bad if your pc cant handle it

The RTX 4090 only has about 25% extra performance than an RTX 4080 super, if even that, but it costs 80% more.

If you had that kind of money to throw away into a bonfire, you wouldn't even have to ask us, because you would have bought an RTX 4090 in the first place. I'd wait 'till the 7090 is released at least, much less the 5090.

But yeah, the 5090 is rumored to be released sometime between fall of this year or spring of the next. Graphics cards usually have a two year refresh cycle, so that is just about reasonable to assume, and you are basically at least three-quarters of the way there.

And even if the 5090 turns out to be a let-down, it will displace some of the demand for the 4090, lowering processor prices.

looks over at RX580 sitting inside case.

It's OK bebe I still think you're special.

Number chasing rarely is the answer to having the best and most effective PC. Put back your tongue and wallet until the chase option is proven.

I am waiting for the Nvidia RTX 5090Ti.
