It’s a blazing rig but my last one was still more than adequate- parts are up on ebay for my 3090 and 9900K w/64GB DDR4 if anyone is interested.
The 4090 is significantly faster but the problem is there are no games that take advantage of the card, in all my years I never thought hardware would outpace games but it has happened. And I dont think there are any games on the horizon for 2 years that would stress this card. Sadly, no one is innovating everything for the past 5 years uses the same few gMe engines and all of them cap out pretty low on quality. We need equivalent od a new Crysis game or someone to start using Unreal5 engine to its max..which is 2 years out likely.
So I am future proof I guess

I blame this on consoles. Back way when, games used to be developed for PC first. Now it's reversed. |
Fwiw next gen console only titles are just starting to come out. This always happens on transitions. It takes a few years to stop designing around last gen.
I have a 4090 liquid x too. I stayed on the am4 platform though. Picked up a deal on a 5800x3d. Upgrading mb and ram wasn't worth it.
Big wins over a 3080-
Much higher mins, less hitches
I can actually use ray tracing and the shadows are significantly better.
When im way over performance I can turn off dlss and get rid of the weird halos around fine objects.
VR. The 4090 is the difference between in reprojection all the time and having a liquid smooth experience on a G2.
The 3080 was barely 60 in some games at 4k and id have to turn things down. The 4090 just slays everything.
