Since Q4 2024-Q1 2025 could see new generation GPU releases from all 3 mayor players i thought it would be a good idea to see what people actually want from these.
Select 3 that matter most for you.

Software I use Arch btw
Most of my GPU uses are related to CUDA, so all I care is cheaper prices (which I doubt will happen), more VRAM, and faster VRAM (which should be a given with GDDR7).

The 4090 did not bring any noticeable benefit over my 3090 since it's the same 24GB at almost the same speed, so no perf uplift for most of what I do. Let's see if the 5090 brings enough benefits to justify its cost.

Cheaper, more efficient and more raster performance. Personally I use only low RT so that's not so important for me.

DLAA+RT on max with FPS that doesn't drop below 120 would be nice.

Ports that allow 4K240 with no compression also desirable.

I think the most recent generation of GPUs has been quite underwhelming. I hope Intel's Battlemage impresses me because I actually have faith that they might release something good. I hope they put as much work into the GPUs as they do with driver updates. Not that I'm interested in a new GPU; my 6700 XT is serving me well.

I want to see much better performance, prices the same but lower would be great and better RT performance. Most important of all at the very least is no more stupid-pricing like the original $1,200 4080. I would also like to see the entry level and lower midrange gamers better served as far as offerings and pricing before more of them give up and turn to consoles.

I fully agree, the RX 7600 XT was a complete joke. Nvidia barely cares about the budget offerings either. I hope Intel brings something good to the table for people who want to spend $250-300 US max on their GPU.

With multiple selections limited to 3 i guess i'm prioritising what I actually look for when buying a card: Raster, efficiency and no-BS price.

If/when "upscaling" sees significant improvements for 1440p (mitigating blurriness + intelligently replicating native res image quality) i'd get right behind that too... TOP PRIORITY STUFF!

DP 2.1 UHBR20...what are the perks here? Haven't looked into it. I suspect its overkill for a 1440p/165hz/IPS?
