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 7900 XTX
Aging well for pure rasterization but the RT gap kept it out of the mainstream conversation. Great on the used market for raster-focused workloads.
