upgrade rtx 4090 for an Rtx 5080

[Zyll Goliat]

Do not fall for marketing shenanigans only 5090 is going to be faster in raster/raw performance then yours 4090 and probably something like 30%-35% now 5080 is most likely going to be somewhere near of the 4090 performance maybe even a bit bellow in full raster.....Seriously only if you really care for a bit better RT and latest frame-gen well then you might go for 5080....

not knowing something doesn't not make someone unintelligent,

i had amd gpu in the past, hd 7950 and rx 290x,

i almost picked the rtx 7900 xtx over the 4090, and for my old 3080, i almost picked an 6800xt but the 6800 xt was out of stock

Ignore the nonsense. Your question was perfectly valid. The hoopla isn't necessarily directed at you. Unfortunately our forum members grow bored of the usual fare around here and turn valid questions into, "How many times can we say the same thing somewhat differently?" fests. It's entertaining to some but mostly boring, just take it for what it is.

And your point is?
People stated the only upgrade from 4090 is the 5090, and going for 5080 might be a sidegrade at best, which again people highly doubt just looking at the hardware specs that show the 5080 is not the xx90 tier card at all. Even if it's from the previous gen.
Have you offered anything useful to the OP yourself? The best advice is keep your 4090 man, and the OP accepted that, what else to say about it? The only nonsense is believing the NV marketing which is quite misleading.
There you go white knight, I hope it's clear enough for you now. And calling out people for making a little fun while answering to the OP... Please grow up.

Why would you willingly go from 24gb vram to 16gb when you already have 24gb and the 5080 might be slower? If you want x4 frame gen you can have that with the 4090 now with lossless scaling for $7. I'm guessing in Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi Survivor, etc, you'll be running out of vram with a 5080 with settings maxxed out since I've used 20gb vram on both of those games and it's easy to demonstrate; just crank all the settings up and play for at least 30 minutes and you'll be using over 16gb vram. Games are going to use more and more vram every year.

I would wait for reviews.. your 4090 might be a better investment than you think..

Yea honestly, the 1080Ti aged like fine wine, the 2080Ti also aged great (despite its huge price jump), 3090 aged fairly well. 4090 will definitely age well, same with the 4080S. I don't think they will have as much staying power as the 1080Ti but they will certainly last imo

Thanks for regurgitating the regurgitated, oh mighty wise one hahaha.

Thanks for the laugh.
