I feel only poor people make this argument. For star citizen alone until Vulcan and DX12 comes. No it isn't but in other optimized games it is better period. You can see anything from 5% to 17% performance. Also with moldings games I've easily maxed out the frame buffer that a 3080 offers. A 3080ti is basically a worse 3090 with a crappy inadequate cooler so it's funny you offer that when it's arguably worse. Also as I said before 1% lows are better. If you're someone like me who often goes over the VRAM buffer with visual mods than the 3090 is worth it. It's not worth it to your average gamer sure but stop acting so salty that others can afford something you cannot.
