It's decent for a 3090 at that price, but it's still a 3090.

Dogwitch is right, it all matters on what you're gonna use it for, because for most people it's complete overkill, especially with how the 3080 is already a solid card.

I would say yes. It's about the same price as a 1080ti which is about the same performance in most games. As long as you're sure it's legit and you can still return the card if not working or anything is wrong.

This. Don't waste money on something expensive that you're not gonna ever fully utilise. I know someone who's bough a 3090 at the peak of GPU prices for like $2500 just to play csgo/valorant on a 144hz monitor... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If its to play games, no. Except for one circumstance, and that you can't get a 3080Ti for cheaper. In THAT case and that case only, yes its worth it.

 

If you want peak performance for high resolution gaming, 3080Ti is one of the cards for that.

Are you gaming at 1440p, 4k? If its 1080p, then totally not worth it, unless planning to upgrade display.

Already spoiled for 4000 series but I wouldn't want a high end card with less than 16GB any more.

I would prefer a 3080ti rather than a 3090. 3090 is so power hungry and not much better than a 3090 for gaming especially. 

 

Unless you're a millionaire. Then ignore my comment and get an i9, 64GB DDR5 and 3090. 

Budget Gamer at heart.

I will use it for 3D design, rendering, etc.  I have a 4K 144 hz monitor
