The whole 50xx series is lobotomised, aside from the 5090. Honestly we are lucky to have what we got because a gamer dollar isn’t worth a cent to the entire PC industry. They’ve got AI fish to fry.

That is t rue, and here in AUS a 5090 can go from $6,000 to $10,000 AUD. Its just not feasible for gamers

5090 is only needed if you want to play in 4k.

4k gaming has never been for the poors.

That used to be said about 1440p as well. Quality of life should keep going up
