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 — RTX 5070 Ti
For most people wanting to game at 1440p or entry-level 4K, this is the card to buy. Aftermarket pricing is often close enough to the 5080 to make that upsell tempting.
