the problem is usually the distributors wont low the price, they only sell it just normal MSRP price till the end of the world
so you gonna buy old gen but same as the normally current gen price

It depends on resolution. I consider 4090 will handle max settings on 1080p in 4-5 years
P.S frame generation will help with it

Problem recently is not really the cards, problem is AAA companies releasing games with terrible optimization on engine that barely works and is designed for hardware that doesn`t even exist today.

About the only way to get a 4090 now is in a Prebuild or used

HP had a nice OMEN gaming Desktop with the 4090 it was around 3500 USD total

On max settings, no. Developers try to scale their games, so higher settings are trying to target whatever's currently hot out there.

Will it be usable? Probably. All depends on the PS6 level of hardware, which is going to be the base for the coming ~decade for AAAA blockbusters (no PC exclusive blockbusters anymore). See the 1080Ti, which still sells on used markets. The graphics hardware inside the PS5 wasn't hugely much of an upgrade over it, roughly comparable to a RX 6700, and it took years for the first RT only games to appear. There still aren't that many.

(Unless you go YOLO, max settings are dumb anyway. Try this out for yourself. The times when Crysis 1 disabled all lighting, shadows and visuals on lower settings are long past).

I feel like 4090 should handle 2k just fine for many years

My 7900xtx equals a 4080 and some change and that ain't going anywhere

4090 is a solid card. I assume the 5090s are 9050$?

About another 4 years, I guess. The 3070 is still going pretty strong and should be good for another couple of years so a 4090 should be good for a bit longer than that.

Going off of your "recently played" you mainly play older Games probably on 1080p.

In this very exclusive instance, if you mean by "everything" Games that in 10 years be 3 years old (mb. because you only buy games in sale), it could be what you're looking for.

If you aim for 1440p and the newest AAA games. No Way.
