I believe HUB said you'd want a 9800x3D to avoid running into cpu limits so that'll be a NO. I'd have to upgrade many other components first.

oops cpu/gpu history:

Pentium 3 / FX 5200
Core 2 Duo E8400 / 9800GTX+
i5-2500K / 9800GTX+
i5-2500K / Radeon HD 7950

i7-4790K / GTX 780 Ti
i7-4790K / GTX 1080 Ti
i7-8700K / GTX 1080 Ti
Ryzen 7 3800XT / 1080 Ti
Ryzen 9 5900X / RTX 3080 10G

Right now I am to poor to buy one. Started a fancy union job in November that I have maybe spent 2 weeks at while I experiment with glasses. Ugh.

But once I start working full time, and get caught up a little I would be able to buy one, but I could put a nice down payment on a camper for that money too.

I will for sure pass on the 5090, even though it is probably the way to fly looking forward.

Yeah I will get a 5090 for my next build. I don't upgrade often, but when I do I get the best.

But yeah, going a 5090 here but its looking like stock/prices will be an issue especially since I'll be putting it on water.

So really short? or long? Hard to compare since none of us have seen your johnson.

:fear: I have questions about this... but I'm not sure if I should ask them.

The G3258 was loads of fun! It could overclock like crazy, mine would do 4.7 GHz, but I've heard of samples that would do 5.0 when pushed hard enough, and since it cost dirt nobody cared if the chip ever got damaged :laugh:

I won't buy an RTX5090 just for gaming.
I would buy it only if will make money with it.
Probably it will be 3.000+ euros... and very energy hungry (575-600W in gaming)

NO. It'd be nice, but I'm not shelling out 2K for such a small uplift. This is a 4090 Super not a 5090. Same game they played before.

Has anyone tested PCIe 5.0 Riser Cable with the 5090 yet? The 5.0 riser cables are $100 for 25cm,..
