Verdict — RTX 5090

If you have to ask if it's worth it, it isn't — this card is for people who want max settings and don't care about the cost. Requires a monster PSU and a case that can fit it. The performance gap over the 5080 is smaller than the price gap.

Verdict — Arc A770

Historic card as Intel's dGPU debut. The 16 GB VRAM is generous but the driver overhead penalizes older APIs. The Arc B series makes it a hard sell new; used it can be interesting.
