Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4090 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3080 Ti by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3080 Ti could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4090 is faster by 50% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3080 Ti is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3080 Ti to RTX 4090 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3080 Ti .

RTX 4090 vs RTX 3080 Ti with Ryzen 9 5950X vs Core i9-10900K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4090 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4090 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 4090 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4090 's 24576 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4090 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti / Core i9-10900K

It is worth noting that the RTX 3080 Ti is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 3080 Ti 's 12288 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like RTX 3080 Ti requires careful thought. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 3080 Ti , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
