I would consider the 4080 16GB at $800. If not, 4060 12GB will be my compromise card.
i think i might skip out this gen unless we do see a performance merit of 1599.
I need 2 videocards to power my system as i have 2 ultrawides, and a 4k + RiftS. which means a total of 4dp ports.
Currently this is what i have:
It makes absolutely no sense for me to replace my 3090 and 3070ti to a 4090 and 4080/4070. I would probably need a do another PSU overhall from the current 1300W Platinum im using currently if i did so.
Im still also waiting on next gen HEDT, because i need those SATA ports as you can see, and I NEED those PCI-E lanes for nVME's and my 2 GPU's to supply me the required 4 DP ports.
God i hate my Rift S.... I sometimes regret not getting the samsung VR unit as it was HDMI and not DP port, and also had OLED.
I don't use my VR set for anything outside movies lately, as i still like watching stuff in 3D, and rarely game on that thing as it gets really uncomfortable with it on and my headphone cans on top.
