I got a 3090 in the depths of the 2021 GPU shortage and for my purposes (mainly JRPGs) I can still run basically every new game at 4k max settings. I don't really see much need to upgrade.
Wonder if the AI rush will result in a situation where the state of the art is so far beyond what's needed for gaming that gpus won't be a bottleneck anymore.
I got a 3080 which I managed to pre-order at MSRP, up until ~1.5 year ago that thing was selling for more than I payed for it in the used market.

I dunno, it seems the scaling is different for AI. Like AI is more about horizontal scaling and gaming is more about vertical scaling (after you get to native 4k resolutions).
An RTX 5090 is nowhere near enough if you want to play graphically demanding games on the latest high-resolution VR headsets. Many are close to 4k*4k per eye, so essentially an 8k screen that needs to run at a stable 90 fps not to cause nausea, and ideally higher.
