The GPU market is a goddamn disaster. Nvidia can't even put the right amount of ROPs on a card or back up their "5070 is a 4090 hurr durr" claims, AMD ditching higher end GPUs, melting connectors, AI, AI, AI!!, etc. Even with Intel's Arc GPUs it's not enough to compete when Nvidia has all the market share in consumer cards.
I've got a 7800xt, a few 3090s in various gaming/video editing systems and a RX 6400 for a backup card. I'm not buying any more until this AI bubble bursts and cards start having actual amounts of uplift from generation to generation and when I can buy one without them getting botted to hell and back.
You should sell the 3090s now. Prices for them are freaking nuts, probably as high as they’ll ever be.
I'm using them lol I know I could sell all 3 for a good price, 2 are EVGA K|ngP|n cards and one is a FE that has a very good overclock potential. I'm not looking to upgrade now, they still work fine.
Oh yeah, you could swap a kingpin for a 4080 if you wanted, lol. Everyone wants 24GB for local AI.
But honestly they will still probably be expensive if/when you sell them, so no rush I guess :P
