>A 3090 is $1000 right now.

Not really worth it if you can get a 5090 for $1,999

If you can get a 5090 for that price, I'll eat my hat. scalpers with their armies of bots will buy them all before you get a chance.

Do you have a recipe in mind for preparing your hat for human consumption or is your plan to eat it raw?

it is absurdly easy to get a 5090 on launch. ive gotten their flagship from their website FE every single launch without fail. from 2080 to 3090 to 4090

i absolutely do not believe you

Saving $1000 for only a ~25-30% hit in rasterization perf is going to be worth it for a lot of people.

That would be true for the 4090, but the 3090 is even more cut down so the 5090 is about 100% faster in rasterization (based on the 4090 being nearly 70% faster than the 3090 and the 5090 being approx 25% faster than the 4090)

The increase from a 3090 to a 5090 would be way more than that.

Certainly worth paying +$1k if you are doing anything that requires GPU power (hash cracking with hashcat for example)
