My 4090 is plenty good for 4K 60 and I can definitely see skipping the RTX 50 series, barring widespread Unreal Engine 5 gaming in the next 12-18 months.
 
Sweet, we finally get to see 3GB chip densities so that 192-bit memory bus comes with a useful 18GB configuration.

aaaaand I expect it'll cost an extra $200 for that version.

Agreed. If anything, I'm a little CPU bound. Most games I can play at 4K max settings and get around 90-120fps. That's often with DLSS on Quality. I'll probably still upgrade to hold the 4090's resell value. And we have the PS5 Pro coming out later this year, devs will be ramping up what their games are capable of. Xbox needs to get an upgrade out soon as well with GTA 6 coming out next year.

Now that you mentioned it, DLSS has evolved into a pretty useful tool. Being a 4K Ultra RT gamer, i have used it in 2 occasions so far: the Path Tracing mode of Cyberpunk 2077/Alan Wake II and Unobtainium settings of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

If it can help us get through the upcoming generation of PC games, it will turn 4090 into an even better investment.

And, if you take into account that, according to Nvidia's roadmap, RTX 50 series will hit the shelves on 2025, 4090 will stay on top even longer.
 
if nvidia attaches the pisspoor bus on the 60 tiers in 50 series they might as well just delete the sku.
just release it as a 50 sku and make a 70 sku with an actual decent bus.
So do you think it would be worth it to get a 5090 when they come out? I just finished my first build last summer (7800x3d, 3060ti, Gigabyte Aorus Elite 650b ax, 32GB GSkill Trident @ 6000, 2TB Samsung 980 pro m.2., Be Quiet! dark rock pro cpu cooler and 500FX case, Corsair 750rmx psu) and it runs great.

But because I was on a budget I could only afford a 3060ti. I wanted to grab a 4090 FE but they were so difficult to find, I decided to wait for the 5090. I’ve been hearing a lot of good news about the 5090 so this is the first negative thing that I’ve read. I’m kind of surprised actually.

Do you think it’s a major drawback or does it just mean it will be a few fps slower? I can see why someone might not want to upgrade if they have a 4090. But having a 3060ti, the 5090 seems like it would be a really nice upgrade.
 
so this is the first negative thing that I’ve read.
the 90 cards are always "good" (just expensive) and most people shouldn't get it as 80 tier is generally good for majority of ppl.

when i say 50sku i mean the 1050, 2050, 3050.

The 4060 is special becasue its got a gimped memory bus which gutted its performance & why ppl hate the thing...if they gave it the same 192bit bus as prior 60's the gpu would of been an amazing gpu for $400.
