The card most 4K builds should actually be looking at once the 5090 premium is on the table. It is comfortably a 4K card with upscaling on and a very fast 1440p card without it.
- Best for
- 4K at 100 Hz and up, or 1440p where you never want to think about settings again.
- Watch out
- 16 GB of memory is fine today and is the number that will decide how this card ages. If you run heavy texture mods or work with large scenes, that is the ceiling to plan around.
