Would anyone like to convince me not to buy a new 3090? In spite of new flagship coming out later this year?
My needs are fairly simple and don't really need a high end GPU for gaming, though having one would be great once I move to a higher resolution monitor and for playing with high quality RT.
I do however want a lot of VRAM for prosumer rendering. 24Gb would be fantastic, really opening up the scene scale. I could certainly work with 16Gb, double what I currently work with on my 1080, but that would be absolute minimum.
I also do not want a GPU that is crazy for power. I'd like to stick with my 760w platinum Seasonic PSU which would drive a normal 3090 fine, paired with a 5600X CPU. Leaks are currently pointing towards significantly higher power needs for next generation.
I also have serious doubts about Nvidia pricing a 4090 much south of $2k. I can see a 4080 possibly having 16Gb VRAM and that would probably be my only reason to wait and spend ~$800 instead of $1300 now.
