I'm trying to decide between buying a 5090 for 2300 euros, which seems reasonable, or going with a 5080. The main concern I have is about energy consumption while gaming. If I play for about 2-3 hours a day, how much would my electricity bill be at the end of the month? I'm also considering a used 4090, but it's expensive and doesn't come with a warranty. Any insights would be appreciated!

It's tough to give a solid answer without a few specifics. The games you'll be playing, your graphic settings, your CPU, and even the cost of electricity where you live all play a role. But in general, I'd say the 5090 is a solid choice, especially since it comes with a warranty. Better to invest in something reliable!
I plan to play games like Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2, usually on ultra settings at 4K with a 9300x3d CPU. Electricity rates here are around 3.34 euros per kWh. Do you think the 5090 will handle 4K well, or is 1440p the better choice?
