Hi! So I’ve been rocking a 3080 and I’ve loved it these past few years, but I game in 4k on and OLED TV mostly for single player games and I’ve been feeling the strain in some games I’ve really wanted to play smoothly like Alan Wake 2 or Silent Hill 2, even the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds. I know the 5000 series is around the corner, but where I’m from, I’m not too hopeful about stocks and prices (Philippines). I’m looking at getting a 4080 super for around 992 USD, or a 4090 for 1488 USD. Here are my considerations:

1. CPU is an i5 12600kf, which as far as I know isn’t strong enough for a 4090 and I’m not sure I’d want to upgrade my CPU just yet.
2. I like ray tracing and I also am not so picky about DLSS, I play most games these days on DLSS performance but would love to enjoy games at maybe balanced or quality if possible :)

Thanks!
