3090 is not worth the money for 99% use cases. its for all intents and purposes, a Titan class card meant more for workstation use. yes its a "gaming" card too, but its only about 15% faster than a 3080 with a significant price jump.. well, when MSRP is taken into consideration.

 

The 3080 is the better card for the $$$ when found at the right price.. which is not the market we live in today.
