You’re missing the part where you get pipe cred by posting timespy scores in Discord after installing your 4090 and dedicated ac unit.

I historically have bought 1-2 gen old cards and it has worked well for me too.

The big filter right now is 4k 120hz. If you’re aiming for that you need a recent card with hdmi 2.1, which is like 3k nvidia 6k amd series. I upgraded displays recently and it finally forced me, begrudgingly, onto a more current gen card. Really wanted to wait for 4k/7k lines to ditch my old 1080Tis.
