Hey everyone, I've got a gaming setup with a 5800X3D, an RTX 3080 (10 GB VRAM), and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM. It's been solid for 1440p gaming, but I've recently upgraded to a 4K monitor and I'm not getting the performance I want, especially with modded Skyrim which really stresses my system and causes frame drops, even with DLSS on. I'm considering my next upgrade options: 1) Should I switch to an AM5 setup with a 9800X3D and 64 GB of DDR5 RAM if the price is right? I'm wondering if this would help with heavily modded games. 2) Would getting a 9070 XT be a better choice if prices drop, or would I regret not going with Nvidia features? 3) Is investing in a 5070 Ti worth it even though it's currently overpriced? 4) Should I wait for a price drop on the 5090, considering its 32 GB VRAM? 5) Or is it smarter to stick with my current setup until next-gen hardware is released? I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Honestly, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a price drop on the 5090 anytime soon. I'd recommend deciding between the 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT based on your budget. Just a heads-up, NVIDIA's DLSS performance is generally better than AMD's FSR, and they do a better job of supporting older GPUs. If you're focused on modded games, a CPU upgrade helped my modded runs significantly, so it could be worth considering if you find a good deal.
