Posted January 19, 2025 A message for me, wait for the 6090 to release, only a year long wait... OK that might sound dumb but the rtx 5090 is already powerful enough probably able to withstand 4 generations of games, plus the price will go down by a great amount compared to its Msrp, and if you choose to pick it after the 6090 , or after it but used then you've hit a jackpot. I've copied and pasted(no effort in design Lmao) rtx 4090 to 5090 GPU performances, take into consideration how "worth it" it's gonna feel, but of course it is your choice ether you want to bomb your money on the gpu's every year or not.

Posted January 19, 2025 I think people should buy what they can afford and feel comfortable with and stop worrying about what other people buy. I have an overclocked RTX 4080 and I will buy a 5090, no question. Do I need it, nope.

Posted January 19, 2025 We dont have independent reviews to know the performance of the 5000 series yet... So my pick would be the 6050 Ti Super which has double the performance of the 6080 and is selling for $10 on Neptune Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1597136-poll-for-for-budget-graphics-processing-units/#findComment-16628999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 19, 2025 The secret to gaming PC's. Buy cheap and upgrade often. The latest and greatest is only fun for up to 6 months. Than buyers regret kicks in. If you buy cheap and upgrade often. Old components go into a backup build or a secondary PC.

Got the 7900gre for 500 a while ago as my own gpu finally after having work gpus for a while. Nice upgrade over the vega 56 but since I still play older games most not needed at all. I finally picked up skyrim a couple weeks ago and its so easy to run my fans legit do not spin on the gpu Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1597136-poll-for-for-budget-graphics-processing-units/#findComment-16629112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
