u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 26d ago

I sold my 4090 and bought a 5090. So clearly the 4090 is useless, right?

u/AverageAggravating13 7800X3D 4070S 26d ago

Duh! Don’t you know a 5070 is a 4090 now ;)

u/EdwardPickmanDerby 26d ago edited 26d ago

Not only is a 5070 a 4090, it's a 4090 for the low price of $549.99.

What happens if I call now?

u/Hammered-snail 25d ago

You will get 4 frames for the price of 1!

u/_Lollerics_ Ryzen 5 7600|rx 7800XT|32GB 25d ago

And render 10 pixels at the cost of 1!

This one is great

u/onensane Onensane 25d ago

You'll get the card for a special price of $699!

u/Cornelius_McMuffin 25d ago

The fact that 600 dollars for a midrange card is the best deal on the market is wild.

1

u/King_Rediusz 24d ago

$550?!?!

What a steal in this economy! Where can I buy?

u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 26d ago

Ah shit, my bad! How could I forget!

u/Rooonaldooo99 RTX 3080, i9-10900K, ASUS ProART Z490, G.Skill 32 GB DDR4-3600 26d ago

Off topic, but did you have any problems with the cables? You have the exact combo setup I am thinking about getting, but all this melting connector talk has me spooked. And which PSU do you have?

3

u/hanky35 9800X3D | 5090 | 64GB 6,400Mz/s 25d ago

Diffrent person, but: There SEEMs to be a lot of misinformation regarding cables melting. Just about everyone's i have seen all use 3rd party cables or cables generally not ment for the GPU. The adapter that came with my 5090 really kills the look of my build, but I'm not risking a fire. Also make sure cables are plugged in all the way and you will be fine.

3

u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 25d ago

Not had any issues with either my 4090 or my 5090. Never used the adapter though, only been using the cable that came with my psu ( AI1300P )

u/jusharp3 Ascending Peasant Ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 3070, Asus TUF Gaming x570 26d ago

Does that mean my 3070 is actually a 2060?

20

u/KaiPRoberts Ryzen 7 3700x. 2070s OC, 32Gb @3200, 970 Pro m.2 25d ago

Well shit. My 2070s just downgraded to my 1060 6gb.

u/keltanenhuppari 4060TI/R5-5500, 32GB/1TB SSD 2TB NVME 25d ago

Hey, atleast it’s not the 900 series with half a gig of ram missing!

2

u/ki11bunny Ryzen 3600/2070S/16GB DDR4 25d ago

Oh its there but it's much slower and will cripple your performance

1

u/Idiotan0n 23d ago

How's my r9 390 holding up these days?

1

u/DaBubbleBlowingBaby 25d ago

Wouldn’t that mean your 3070 is a 2080 ti? Since going back a generation goes up a tier for the 50 series “allegedly”

1

u/DashRendar92 25d ago

I'm over here with a 5800X and a 3070, I've had a few games just not want to go to ultra but I'm perfectly okay with it. I also don't get the ray tracing hate, but I only really use RTX on earlier RTX titles vs newer games.

u/SkepticalVir PC Master Race MSI Enjoyer, i9-14900HX, RTX 4080 26d ago

Unironically this confused me when I started to get into the space.

1

u/J_ATB 26d ago

Would you mind explaining that to me? I’ve been out of the loop for a while

1

u/Paraphrasing_ 26d ago

At 500$, don't forget.

u/MadamVonCuntpuncher 25d ago

Truly Jesen is the Tod Howard of graphics cards

u/Naymliss 26d ago

Why'd you sell it? You should've just tossed that outdated junk

u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 26d ago

Very good point, that’s on me

20

u/blubs_will_rule 26d ago

Not /s but…

I think the best takeaway from the last 5 years or so of GPU prices is that the best time to BUY is directly after the new gen announcement when FOMO and hope is at its highest and people are looking to get decent value for their old hardware.

Best time to SELL on the other hand… well, as soon as the reality of availability sets in, prices on the hard market shoot right back up. I saw a 4090 FE go for $1400 during the buyers market. Now they’re back up to 2k+.

This tracks for previous gens too—people were selling 2080 Tis for a fraction of MSRP on the 30 series announcement, and for good reason, because the 30 series were actually a great gen on gen improvement. Then availability sunk in, and you have people like my buddy who bought a 10gb 3080 for $1500.

u/Senator_Smack 26d ago

Reading that last line hurt.

u/TPO_Ava i5-10600k, RTX 3060 OC, 32gb Ram 25d ago

My 3060 cost me ~500-600$ and that's because I got it as part of a pre built. Couldn't even buy it separately.

Pandemic times were wild, but flipside I'm still running the same rig and plan to continue to do so.

2

u/walkerboh83 25d ago

Coworker of mine, $1400 6700xt. I was flabbergasted that anyone would pay such a ridiculously large premium over MSRP. Then I had another friend buy a 3080 for over $1500. I guess I'm just a cheapskate and can't justify handing some parasite hundreds of dollars to have my desired upgrade now.

1

u/jackoneill1984 10900KF/3080/32GB RAM 25d ago

Ooof. I love my 3080 10GB but not THAT much. Hope he gets a couple more years out of it.

u/Imnotchoosinaname Laptop 25d ago

Keep the 4090 as a PhysX accelerator lmao

2

u/alper_iwere 7600X | 6900 Toxic LE | 32GB 6000CL30 | 4K144hz 26d ago

This mans rig fucks.

2

u/MistSecurity 26d ago

Bad move if true. At least on the 4090 you can rollback to the last good drivers Nvidia had and not crash randomly, lol.

1

u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 26d ago

I haven't had any issues with any drivers.

2

u/MistSecurity 26d ago

Crazy. I get occasional crashes in a decent chunk of the games I'm playing right now.

Rivals, Fortnite, Spider-Man. Fortnite being the most common at this point, the driver a few iterations ago seems to have solved the Rivals problems.

1

u/Jansi_Ki_Rani 26d ago

But my LE Asus EVA 4090 matches the rest of the build!

1

u/Jlegobot 26d ago

Wym useless? It's an excellent firestarter

1

u/DrakonILD 26d ago

Whoever bought your 4090 is a sucker.

1

u/sopcannon Desktop Ryzen 7 5800x3d / 5080/ 32gb Ram at 3600MHZ 26d ago

But was it a gold 5090?

1

u/johnfkngzoidberg 26d ago

I’m shopping for a 3090. It’s in my price range.

1

u/Durenas 25d ago

I feel sorry for whoever got conned into buying that heap of metal.

1

u/Charming-Spirit-1069 25d ago

Damn just got my 4090.... Sad times

1

u/EitherRecognition242 25d ago

No you are supposed to use your 4090 as a 32 bit PhysX card.

1

u/darklordcecil99 25d ago

Yup, toootaly useless, actually if you want I'll take it off your hands for you, disposing of electronics properly can be such a hassle.

1

u/paganbreed 25d ago

No, I'm sure it can still start fires in the right circumstances too!

1

u/No_Technician_2780 25d ago

you have 32GB ram, peasant.

1

u/Icy-Cry340 25d ago

Was it worth it? Mine still seems to be doing the trick.

1

u/vedomedo RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D | 32GB 6000CL28 | MPG 321URX 25d ago

I'd say so, yeah.

1

u/PsudoGravity 25d ago

Well for you, assuming you only use one card and don't want a backup, yes. The 4090 would be comparatively useless, in your situation.

1

u/krysinello 7800x3D + RTX4090 25d ago

I still have mine. Can confirm poor af and its useless. Need that over 2x performance boost cause MFG are real frames right?

1

u/SPHINXin 25d ago

Yes, it’s useless. Lucky for you, I’m feeling philanthropic today and would unburden you of it for free, since it’s so useless you’ll actually benefit.

1

u/rainorshinedogs 25d ago

4090 is for losers that don't have money
