Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4090 Mobile makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3080 Mobile by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3080 Mobile could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4090 Mobile is faster by 74% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3080 Mobile is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3080 Mobile to RTX 4090 Mobile is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4090 Mobile .
