Not sure if trolling, but... I think the 3090 is overkill for 1080p gaming, unless you're running a multiple monitor setup, like a sim racing rig or something. But if you don't want to replace your GPU for several years, or if you do 3D modeling / rendering, etc, the 3090 is more justified. With this GPU, at 1080p, either the games themselves (how they are coded, whether they are 32bit vs 64bit, etc.) and/or your monitor refresh rate will be the framerate "bottleneck". Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about how far GPUs have come... Nice setup by the way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Really depends what your using it for, like myself im trying to get the rtx 3090 for the vram. I do CGI work so the 4k isnt the big deal its having the capability for large scenes without needing to send it to a render farm. If you use things like blender it deals with ray tracing by default to having a strong rtx card can help. If your a indie dev being able to test your rtx is also a plus. But if your getting the 3090 as an investment dont worry about the 1080p it can more than likely handle under spec resolutions as you can upgrade other things later. Though your likely to bottleneck if you dont have a ryzen 9 processor, I hear AMDs new model is comparable and is able to compensate for bottleneck better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're asking will you get linear power to performance ratio, no. You definitely won't use the 24gb memory, the system won't even allocate that much. You will have better performance, but unless you're getting the new 360 hz nvidia monitors this is way overkill. I'm assuming you're playing competitively given that you want to stay at 1080. Most competitive games aren't that resource-demanding, warzone's probably the most. If I were you and you do want the best for competitive games, look at benchmarks for warzone. That's going to be the ceiling, everything else will most likely have higher fps than it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 3090 is massive overkill for 1080p. Anything past the RTX 2080 for 1080p gaming is not remotely worth the extra money spent. You get major diminishing returns in 1080p as you reach the highest-end graphics cards...meaning you get less and less fps gain the further you go up in price. Youtube tech reviewers didnt even bother benchmarking the 3080 & 3090 in 1080p because in a best case scenario, you get maybe 10% better framerates than a 2080ti will give you...and the 2080ti is overkill for 1080p as well. So by that logic you'd be spending 1,500$ for an extra 15-20fps in 1080p (if you previously had a 2080ti that is). I have a 2080ti and im on 1080p right now, But i have a 3080 and 1440p monitor being shipped to me now. MY 2080ti gets a minimum of 165fps in any game i play...aside from red dead redemption 2. The 3090 would only give me about 185-190fps minimum in a best case scenario, for the massive cost of 1,500$! Not worth the price tag in 1080p. Now in 1440p you'll get more fps out of it than you would in 1080p because the resolution isnt bottlenecking you. But even still....personally i dont think the extra 800$ is worth paying over a 3080, which is 700$, for maybe 15-20fps more than the 3080 will get you in 1440p. Basically, dont buy a 3090 unless you're gaming in at least 1440p....and even then you wont get a massive performance increase over the 3080 anyways. You'd just be buying it for 15-20 extra fps in 1440p and bragging rights to say you have the most powerful consumer gpu on the market. Leaks are showing that the 3090 is only about 8-9% better than the 3080 in 4k...which means even lower gains in 1440p and 1080p (i'd say 5% in 1080p at best). Again, 5-9% performance is not worth spending an extra 800$ to go with a 3090 instead of a 3080. Hope this answers your question and helps you to understand diminishing returns in graphics performance based on resolution.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your system is utter overkill for 1080p... why have all those nice parts if you're just going to completely waste them on a resolution that is 20 years old? You're still going to be bottlenecked by that CPU running it at 1080p with RT on. You're much better off grabbing a 3070 if you're just playing at 1080p 240hz MAYBE a 3080 if you really need that overkill but 3090? Just makes absolutely no sense to senselessly waste money that won't void you any benefit other than bragging rights. put that extra money towards a quality 2K / 120hz+ hdr screen instead of throwing it in the trash and grab a 3080.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you’re running this setup with a 3090, and a Ryzen 9 3950x, it for sure can handle any kind of 1080p. 64 GB of RAM is plenty for modern titles, and the 3950x is an absolute beast when paired for a 3090, so yes. It will run buttery smooth in all modern titles be it at 1080p or 4K, I promise that is an absolute beast and overkill for 1080p even if your running a few monitors.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That rig is not far off from mine. The 3080 and 3090 shine more in the 1440p and 4k arenas. If you truly only plan to game with 1080p resolution save yourself $900 and get a 3070. You could play in 1080p but the gains at this resolution compared to much cheaper alternatives are minimal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1080p is becoming more common in competitive gaming. Asus is getting ready to release a 24" 1080p 360hz gaming monitor. So to answer your question, yes it is ok. The 10900k and 3950x should both be capable of extremely high fps @ 1080p when paired with a 3090.
