I have a 3090 in my computer with a 9900K @4K resolution. No problems at all with bottlenecking because of the 4K resolution. I have the notification from EVGA to buy a 3090 Ti and I am seriously considering this for this computer. I do believe that the 3090 Ti would help push higher frame rates at 4K. The cost is not a factor.
 
However, my old 3090 would be going into my second computer that has an 8086K CPU in it at 2560x1440. Do you think this will bottleneck at 2560x1440?

Most likely. That's a pretty old CPU. Time to buy a 12900k setup and put the 3090ti in that. Money's not an object, right? Donate the 8086k.

The 3090 Ti won't be going in the PC with the 8086k. The money used to upgrade the CPU is not the problem, the time and pain in the a** is for that upgrade. Eventually, both of my CPUs will be getting upgraded, just maybe not yet.

Your 8086 will be absolutely fine with the 3090..OC the 8086 (5 Ghz)...those chips OC well....

If nothing else, it should be better than the 2080 Ti that's currently in that system.

Absolutely.....hell I have my Maximus XI Extreme w 9900K set up on my work bench with an Evga 1080Ti SC Black and that GPU still doing very well!

The performance jump from 3090 to 3090 Ti is small. I don't think you will notice a difference. I would wait for the next generation which is right around the corner.

There is more to the 3090 Ti than just the 8% to 15% bump in performance. The memory chips are all on the same side as the GPU and stay cooled much better this way, plus look at the coolers on these bad boy, keeps the card even cooler than the 3090. On the 3090 Ti, the cards hits it's boost clock and holds it, unlike the 3090 that bounces up and down. You will get higher performance that's smoother with the 3090 ti.

The "8% to 15% bump in performance" takes into account those factors, right? If they didn't, you would say '10% to 19% bump in performance' rather than "8% to 15%". The difference is the reason for the performance bump. You can't just double-dip on the same thing and call it two different attributes; one a measurable number and one a psychological feeling that somehow doesn't show up in the number you quoted.

It's not a 8% to 15% bump in performance, is it? More like 5% to 10% apples to apples. It's only vastly different tier cards and stock vs overclock that have those big of margins, no?

However big a performance difference you believe to exist, with a new generation right around the corner, I think it is a bad time to buy. Either there will be options with better performance soon, or better prices soon. This card isn't going away. Impatience and boredom can be solved in other ways. It's a bad time to buy; especially for such a small performance gain.

Yep!!
Here you go...at my Rez 3440*1440p (between 2560 and 4K) looks like a 10-12 FPS improvement with most AAA titles over either a 3080Ti or 3090.....

To be more accurate, the 8% to 15% performance increase I referenced is for the 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming without overclocking.
 
See how nice the card holds it's clock speeds and stays much cooler. https://youtu.be/HWS9G2WT42Q?t=545

If you're hitting 5Ghz on the CPU and gaming at 4K, no need to worry about upgrading to the 12900K.

I bought the 3090 ti. I ran the 3090 ti and it’s a really nice card. Running Timespy and the temps were in the upper 50’s running at close to 100% GPU. No coil whine so far. It’s a very nice looking card. Good job to EVGA for putting together a solid card. I guess at over $2K it should be though.

I installed the 3090 in the other computer, but have yet to run it. When I do, I’ll post back and let everyone know the results.

Sweet, love hearing about the temp.
 
My 3090 Ti just got delivered, so I have yet to play with it. This is a monster sized card lol.
