At launch of 5k series I bought a top of the line pc with a 42" OLED 4K panel. I've definitely enjoyed the gaming at 4k on ultra with the 5090, and at the time \~3k was worth the price to me for the card. Checked today and a 5080 is still \~2.1k in my country new however a 5090 is selling for \~$8k used.
I'd never in a million years buy a graphics card for 8k. However here I am with one and a single point of failure on my desktop pc.
I have disposable income and don't need the money, however I feel like a chump for not selling this card. That's ~$6k I could be investing into ETFs if downgrading cards
Is a 5080 that big of a downgrade? Im super on the fence on this. I do play mostly AAA games, however id be totally fine with running dlss at balanced + frame gen and toning down ray tracing etc a bit to make up for the difference. Or would it be worse than that?
What's reddit think? Hold the line or sell?
