Buying a high end GPU is complicated right now. The RTX 3080 and 3090 prices are actually going up, but their used prices have come down quite a bit. The 4080 is available near its MSRP, but that MSRP is extremely high, and the RTX 4090 is still selling way above its MSRP. In this video we look at how these GPUs perform at 4K and 1440p in a variety of games including new graphically demanding "next gen" titles, along with some older games as well as RT ON/OFF. The test system specs are below, and all footage was captured on an external capture card to eliminate any recording overhead (although this can introduce screen tearing to the recordings).
