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 — RX 7800 XT
Best price-per-frame at 1440p for its generation. FSR is workable, RT is passable but not why you'd buy it. Very popular pick with informed budget builders.
