Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3090 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. Upgrading from RTX 3090 to RTX 4080 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4080 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 / Core i9-10900K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 3090 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3090 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 3090 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 3090 's 24576 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 3090 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
