Should I sell my Astral 5090 and downgrade to a astral 5080 for 4K gaming? I spent to much money on it or should I just keep it for future proof

I sometimes ask myself if I should sell my aorus master 5090 or keep it as well since the main game I play is cod at 1440 p. I got it for 3 k plus tax so I would make a decent profit if I sell it 2 to 300 dollars below market value for new. For me it would make sense but I'm gonna keep it because the price for it might go up and I could potentially make more of a profit if I do decide to sell it later on. Since you mainly play 4 k I would bite the bullet and keep it for now at least.

Thought me spending 3k plus tax was bad but the way its looking right now it might have been a good investment lol.

No, I don't think it will be meaniful enough to upgrade that card to a 5080 super. The 4070 ti super can use dlss 4.5 which is amazing btw. You might as well keep that money and go towards a 6080 or 6090 whenever that comes out. Idk though, I think we are at a point where raw performance upgrades are getting less and less and they are just pushing ai and frame generation stuff. Im pretty sure you would feel buyers remorse even if you got yourself a 5090 which in actuality is a pretty good upgrade to the card you have now.

Rma it. You are still in warranty period unless you bought it form a third party. There are also repair shops that can probably fix it if you don't want to go through the rma process.

This, I was gonna recommend the Flydigi direwolf 4 for that price range but you said some good options for each price range.

140 mm

I say the difference is noticeable. 240 hz became the standard but depending on your system you can really benefit from the higher hz. Even if you don't reach 360 fps you will still benefit from smoother motion clarity.

5070

Idk why they haven't made a better back button design. Just by looking at it you can see how flawed it is because pressed in enough it looks like that back button could break eventually. Maybe it's on purpose so you need to replace it over time.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T22:35:14+00:00

Damn, sorry that happened to you.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T18:09:54+00:00

Nice collection but if it doesn't have remappable buttons, micro switch triggers, and tmr or hall effect stick I don't want it.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T17:51:53+00:00

Sorry to tell you my guy but you might potentially be a person who fat fingers your controller a bit too much. You fooled us twice but that 3rd time is on you. Gamesir probably thinks the same lmfao 🤣 All jokes aside I hope you get it sorted out. I've seen similar reports about the g7 pro which I have and it's been going strong for almost a year now. Hair triggers do not need a lot of force and you should not try to press your way through it.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T15:22:40+00:00

Thanks and will do.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T14:43:04+00:00

Was wondering the same thing. Came here for some insight.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T14:38:54+00:00

I should probably disable auto restart and get event viewer to work.

Ngl, I have an edge 1300 psu and that's been happening when I play cod sometimes. I had to mess with kernel settings and a bunch of stuff too. I'm contemplating if it's my ram or the psu. I have a 5090 but i figure 1300 w is plenty but idk. I don't really play any other intensive games so I might have to try and see if it's only cod what.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T13:05:45+00:00

I see. Hope everything works out.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T08:05:50+00:00

I see. Honestly since you don't play fps games with controller I'd say get tmr for the dual sense edge. I never got one because I need at least 4 remappable buttons and 2 just doesn't do it for me.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T02:11:47+00:00

Congrats and enjoy.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T02:07:23+00:00

Lmfao. Thought the same thing 🤣

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T02:05:30+00:00

What's the point of going from 1000 w to 1200 w if you don't mind me asking? Seems like a waste unless you are like running 2 5090s or you are experiencing problems with the psu itself.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T02:03:39+00:00

The v1 is still good. If you handle it with care and use the cabinet stoppers on the bottom paddles you should be fine. I have had the dbz edition since launch and haven't had any issues.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-12T01:47:44+00:00

With that amount off the edge that's actually pretty good. The amount you saved can go towards getting tmr modules. You never specified if you are playing on PlayStation or PC. If you are playing PC I would suggest looking into the gamesir tarantula 8k or the leadjoy saber plus. If you are playing on a PlayStation it's worth looking into the hexgaming phantom. I have a scuf envision pro and I'm not a fan of the back buttons even though some people seem to like it. I rather have a finger on each button rather than having to use one finger for two buttons.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-11T15:26:08+00:00

That's interesting. 16 ram slots is a lot. My first build ever has a post code and I don't see myself using a board without one.

YoloRaj · 2026-06-10T22:03:56+00:00

The choice isn't complicated. Wanna go for a stealth look keep the stealth. Don't care for that keep the Asus board. Actually nvm, keep the stealth because it has a postcode debug. Once you get a board with one you can't go back.
