I have an RTX 2080ti.

I still play in 1080p 60Hz, and the 2080 is plenty. But I’m looking to train some ML models, and the 11GB VRAM is limiting for that.

Thus, I plan to buy a new one. Also I don’t want a ML only GPU since I don’t want to maintain two GPUs.

Since I’m upgrading, I need to think of future compatibility. At some point I will move to at least 2k, although still I’m not bought into 4k as any perceivable benefit.

Given all these, I wanted to check with folks who have either card, should I consider 4090?

    a lovely higher refresh rate 1440p monitor would be a great sweet spot to consider.

    nah, screw that, a 4090 is wasted on anything not 4K in my opinion

      Sincerely, why? I ran 1440 165hz with my 3070 with mediocre success and even with my 4090 and games like jedi fallen order and valhalla hitch and stutter occasionally. Paired with a 7900x I was expecting better and feel like a lot of people get hung up on the numbers.
