Should I get 4080 or 4090?

If budget is of no concern and you want flagship performance for high refresh rate 4K gaming, or very high refresh rate 1440p gaming, then the 4090 is your only option. However, if you're fine with 144Hz 1440p gaming or 100fps 4K gaming, the 4080 is a better offering.

Is the 4090 worse than the 3090?

Benchmarks show that the RTX 4090 performs about 60-70% better than the RTX 3090 at 4K resolution on average. Crucially, this is about the same as the difference in price between the two cards.

What is the failure rate of 4090?
