I have badsykes and it's amazing TBH. I won't defend the price, I agree it it's ridiculous. But I couldn't buy a 3080, 6800XT, or 6900XT. I could buy the 3090 and so I did. Gaming is now on a different level at 1440p. Ultra settings and everything maxed on 144hz freesync monitor and it's great to behold.
Also replaced my Zen+ 2700 with a Zen 2 3800X because I couldn't get a 5600X. So be it. Happy with my upgrades as it made a terrible year a bit better at the end. I was 60 in May so time is running out to enjoy things I can afford.
So my son has got my 5700XT and this month will get my 2700 and a new motherboard to boot. So both he and I win good result. I'm making him pay for the mobo as he needs to understand the value of money.
I understand... In a way the money begun to not matter if you are stuck like this year 2020.If you have them spend them ... It doesn't matter anymore.
In my country actually i can find a 5600x, 3070 and 3090 lately.
The Asus tuf 3080 is 1000 euro and is available in 20 days.
Anyway i played many old games that remained for years unplayed.With RKL and Alder Lake and RTX 4000 series on the horizon i let the market prices to crash.
I can play Cyberpunk acceptable on current rig but without RTX so i uninstalled it .The only reason i would invest in GPU would be to enjoy RTX in a fully supported game like Cyberpunk... Also the game needs many patches still ..I will let it cook.For one game that is not so cooked i can wait another year and see what's new.If 4000 series is 70% faster than 3000 series than the 2080ti will be at 250$ or even less.The 4000 will really bring RTX to a level decent performance.
If you have a bit of time play ABZU ... Is absolutly beautifully artistic...I finished it.
