Yup, just did this. Still way cheaper than a convertible or whatever

Especially when most convertibles are slower than a Tesla.

The 4090 is also upwards of $2k. This is more that what i spent on my entire computer that's a few years old and is still very powerful. We used to rag on people buying titans for gaming, but since Nvidia did the whole marketing switcheroo now titans are just *090 cards and they appear as reasonable cards.

My point is that Nvidia has the absolute highest end, but it's ridiculous to suggest that anyone with a budget less than the GDP of Botswana should consider the 4090 as an option at all. For actually reasonable offers, AMD delivers the most performance per dollar most of the time.

Someone really should market a PC directly as a "midlife crisis gaming PC." I laughed so hard at that.

PSA: GeForce Now Ultimate is a great way to check this out. You get a 4080 equivalent that can stream 4K 120Hz. If you have good Internet in the continental US or most of Europe, it’s surprisingly lag-free.
