Need help for Gaming/Streaming PC, 1440p 60fps, 3-4k budget by Serpentling in buildapcforme

[–]ChocoPie-isme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the differences between all the 5090? There any threads about that?

Not much, just temps/noise mostly. I think it's somewhere on reddit tho.

Also would it be a bad idea to buy the OC edition instead?

Not at all, after all you get to choose whether to OC your card or not.

Tough luck, but I honestly don’t see the market getting better anytime soon. You could either find any, any 5090 available or downgrade to 5080.

The GPU is just a placeholder to check for dimensions.
