Buy a 5090?

My 4090 will end it’s warranty period in a couple of months. This got me thinking on buying a 5090. As my card still has some months of warranty left it should be doable to sell it around € 1500.

I am not necessarily looking for more performance or 15fps extra. My 4090 does the job perfect in VR. I just don’t want to end up in a year with a broken 4090 and have no ‘residue’ value left on an expensive card.

What would you do?

if the 4090 works for you and DCS is your primary game / you don't care about the features of 5x series card ... just hang on to your 4090... i have a 1080ti that is still running from the factory (now in my daughters PC) but and i don't expect that my 4090 will have a much shorter life than that, which is what 8 years on or so ...  when i moved from a 3090 to a 4090 i wanted the extra FPS for VR and i did sell that at the time ... but i was unhappy with the performance ... for DCS in VR.

I haven't really had a card longer then 2 or 3 years because it was always a significant bump up in fps and resolution (I have to agree on the marginal bump up from 3090 to 4090). I am now happy with the resolution and fps in DCS and Falcon BMS with my quest 3. 

If the 4090 is designed to last 8 years i also see no reason to go to a 5090. I also don't overclock and maybe use my pc on an average 5 hours a week.
