Is a 3090 still a good card? 4k TV/monitor but I'm OK with bumping res down in games.
It's $600
Sorry for a new thread over such a trivial question

>>105988319 (OP)
Yes but things are stating to leverage fp8 so Ada or newer is an advantage. It's still a good GPU though.

>>105988319 (OP)
For $600, no. Its nearly 5 years old, end of warranty and components on the board may fail at any moment.

>>105988319 (OP)
It's about the same for gaming as a 9070xt.

>end of warranty and components on the board may fail at any moment
The only thing you have to worried about is the fan, the only mechanical component, and that's a cheap fix. The actual chips on the board breaking isn't really a thing that happens unless there's something seriously wrong with the manufacturing which would've been known by now. Its not like HDDs where a mechanical component breaking means its effectively a brick.

>>105988319 (OP)
I think it's a great buy with the current market, you can't beat dlss4 and the vram will keep you solid for I would say the lifespan of the 9700xt. I would buy it over anything in it's price range in the current market.

>>105988319 (OP)
i bought one for $670. i love it. i only bought it for AI shit. id never own a 4k resolution anything. 1080p forever and always.

>>105988873
Caps could fail, but they should still last 10y.

>>105988319 (OP)
5070 is faster with framegen/multiframegen + it's not a fucking housefire like the 3090 is. You need a better power supply then you would think
Vram on the 5070 sucks but neither of these cards are really good at 4k in 2025.
I would either step back to a 3080 or get a 5070. Ada is pretty good too but realistically with current pricing it makes 0 sense.

unless you need the extra vram it makes more sense to get a 5070 at this point. Pretty sure the card is just straight up faster in gaming with lower power draw..

That's fucking retarded I own a 5090 and would never use that garbage. He has DLSS 4 that's the biggest buff he needs and he can do more with his card than that piece of shit you recommended

I game on a custom loop water cooled 3090 at 4k 80fps or 1080p 144hz on my dual mode oled. It works fine for what I play witch is currently Witchfire, Star Citizen, and Poe2. Stuttering is usually thermal throttle on all cards and water cooling fixes that.

>prices went down
Never mind get a 5070
I take back that post

>>105990626
>owns a 5090
>doesn't use framegen
legit why? you only have a 144hz monitor or something? There were issues when framegen first came out but the couple games where I use it I rarely see visual artifacts and the motion clarity of 240hz is so nice.

>>105990830
I played fighting games for 15+ years I am very sensitive to input delay. I can understand some games but I just don't like using it because it doesn't cap to 244fps whenever I use which makes it a bit difficult to deal with in some games. I just want to enforce a fps cap when using framegen.

>>105990830
NTA but why the fuck would you use dog shit framegen when you don't need to since you have the horse power to run naively?

>>105988319 (OP)
Yes. I have an RX6900 which is basically the radeon equivalent and it runs everything more than fine. Also 24Gb vram allows for some pretty good local ai

>>105990876
Anon he replied to monster hunter wilds is a prime candidate for framegen. game runs like shit but you will still have better input latency vs console.
Many games I play I don't need it and I daily drive tumbleweed

>>105990900
But its also a shit game so who cares?
There hasn't been a single game that requires framegen (yet) that is worth playing, so its a whatever topic.

>>105988873
ignore this retard, people are still selling this card for over a 1000 dollars, 600 is a really good value, solid card, just make sure you replace the pads and paste, assuming the previous owner hasn't done so

>>105990912
I only played that shit heap for my friends and I fully agree with you. But some games could use the extra push I don't know which ones but it's small which is why DLSS4 is better as a booster in every regard

who the fuck is still buying 4090's at these prices.

>>105991004
probably noone if they're still listed

>>105991004
Idiots with low impulse control unable to wait a few paychecks to get the 5090

>>105991026
>Sold 22 Jul 2025
come on, man

>There're really jeets shilling for framegen.
Where the fuck did you even come from.

>>105991047
well rip that guy, although given that the 5090 is almost double the price in most places I'm not surprised

>>105991078
>that guy
this is just the average price of 4090's on ebay.
it's actually come down a little very recently, but 5090's have been in stock in the uk at or near msrp for months now

i have a feeling clueless people are watching youtube reviews of 50 series that weren't glowing and think they're still getting a deal here.

>>105988319 (OP)
It was shit on release and it's even shitter now.

Thing cooks it's own memory. 3090 Ti is better designed in that regard.

Dollar for dollar, a 3090 is a better deal then a 4090 or 5090, even being a 5 year old card.
Its retarded, but it is what it is

>>105988319 (OP)
It's a good 1440p card.
Forget about 4K if u don't have a 5090.

Wildly depends on what you're playing. You're correct with most anything UE5, but I play RDR2, Hell Divers 2, Path of Exile, and quite a few others at native 4k without issue on a 3090.
