Well, a major workstation upgrade is on the cards this year... assuming I can get hold of my ordered 5090! I'm alright for PSU, case, cooling, cabling, and storage. But I will need a new CPU, mobo, and RAM. Thanks both for the link and mention. However, without wanting to sound like an ungrateful pr!ck, it's not a high enough baseline spec for what I'm wanting/needing. Ideally, I want to go with a HEDT CPU again and a mobo that has additional PCI-E lanes, and support for 192GB RAM. I'm not sure whether to go Team Blue or Team Red with the CPU, whilst the GPU is Team Green. It's a shame AMD aren't pursuing that top tier of the GPU market.

The issue for AMD is that people buy Nvidia products whether they're better or not, because Nvidia. So they don't get the revenue to fund the top tier.

It's a bit like Intel 20 odd years ago, the AMD CPUs might have been better but people still bought Intel, because Intel.

I also often see the reason "bEcAuSe aMd DrIvErS aRe BaD"...yeah about 25 years ago. Over the past few years I've personally had more issues with Nvidia drivers than AMD.
