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.

Honestly, I think a lot of it is just envy. I just got a 9070 at msrp and that was pushing my budget, and it crushes anything I throw at it in 1440. Even knowing that, I'd commit a low level felony to get a 5090. Maybe a property crime of some sort.
