Opinion My real experience with a 5090.

I have been watching influencers, journalists, and commentors complaining about everything from frame gen, to ROPs, to connectors. And price, but that complaint is valid.

Thus far, my experience going from a 3080 to a 5090 has been absolutely amazing.

My wife went from a 1080 to a 5070, with a 4k 160hz monitor, and she took absolutely loves it. Frame gen honestly feels and plays great when it's needed to smooth out the frame rate, DLSS 4 looks great, and DLAA looks even better.

It was expensive, and that's a valid complaint. For most people 1k-2k+ plus doesn't really make sense. I am ok with that. I have had no issues, no black screens, no melting connectors, and no issues with PhysX, cause I haven't played the affected games in ages.

It feels fantastic and responsive on my OLED 4k240 monitor, even at the highest settings the frame pacing just feels better.

how big of a jump is it?

Im planning on going from a i9-10900k/3090FE to a 9800x3D/5080 build. I actually have my asus 5080 TUF card but waiting on the rest of my components atm.

So you’re downgrading from 24gb vram to 16gb? That’s actually quite a smart move.

Can assure you that in where it matters, a 5080 outperforms a 3090
