I mean, depending on how quickly you want the card you may end up with only the 3090 as an option since it’s the only thing in stock anywhere I can find, if you could find one the 3080 or 6800xt are the better buys. 3090 is quite pricey for the marginal performance benefit

A 3080? Ultra settings are bs anyways as they are just adding bigger numbers that you won't see the benefit off. So basically make the game harder to run for next to no visual improvement. Also the 6900xt is supposed to be the 3090 competitor.

 

Btw don't spend double for a 3090 as the difference between a 3080 and 3090 is like 10-15% at most.

For 4k I recommend an ampere graphics card, they seem to scale a bit better with super high resolutions

Hmm. great point about ultra settings. I wonder why they do that? Is that like a trend with games? Sounds stupid

I mean, a game can only look so good before you can't tell the difference. Mashing more and more pixels into a 2D texture can make the game exponentially harder to render, and slightly prettier

Always has been. I mean 8x msaa lets goooo. Basically just to flex on people. Or even better you know that tiny little flower petal NOW IT HAS A 4K TEXTURE (basicaly what those high rez texture packs do :p)

3080, the 3090 isn't worth the price increase just for gaming.

Of course, but many people want them for bragging rights anyway, doesn't matter if they would never be able to see a difference, it's why  cards like the 3090 are made after all.

I'd get a 3080. Ampere does better at 4K but there's no reason to buy a 3090/6900 XT, both seem like they are worse in terms of value compared to the 3080/6800 XT

[MadPistol]

So far, it would seem that GA102-based GPUs fare better at 4K in most scenarios. I believe this to be due to the faster GDDR6x and wider memory bus.

3080 for 4k. Or wait for the rumored 3080 Ti.
6800/6800XT is best for 1440p imo.

Get a 6800XT, and just overclock it a bit. At that point they're about the same. (3090 overclocks and 6800XT overclocks are about the same in most games)
