Used graphics card prices aren't that much better than new.
The 4090 still has a VRAM advantage over the 5080 so it's probably going to continue to hold it's value pretty well. Especially since there's a massive voice in pricing between the $1k 5080 and the $2k 5090.
Unless the 24gb ARC GPU comes out (or AI crashes) I see the 4090 just not depreciating a substantial amount. And that's the only option that would compare to the 5080 since AMD isn't even trying to make high end.

I'm happy with my legion go, it can handle most aaa games pretty well. And if I want to upgrade later on, I'll get an eGpu. Modular gaming system ftw

Did Starfield become a good game?

I’ll always upvote a Chaeyoung meme

Not OP but my GPU is a decade old, would be nice to have the latest for once.

Me going back to hollow knight, celeste, modded minecraft, and dead cells instead of buying new games

Maybe I'm missing some important details, but isn't an eGPU still limited to throughput of the thunderbolt connection?

lol. I don't think I'd ever
It'd need to be a really pretty girl to get me in to that. lol
Seriously tho... The Finals

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won't be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

Me modding the 2D pixel art game with ultra HD textures, shaders, reflections, realistic physics engine, ray tracing.

Me upgrading my computer to kick ass just so I can play Old School Runescape

Unless you're getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.
On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I'd assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you're like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

Depends if you like starfield
-
Bethesda games need 5080?
-
I'm OK with 2D but draw the line at pixel-art. Pun not intended.
-
My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it's closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.

Wait for sales and you can spend half that. If you're willing to settle for anything less than top of the line, you can go even lower.
I picked up a 7900X3D under $450 CAD this summer. My Motherboard was under $200 CAD for an ITX board, and I got 32GB of 6000mHz RAM for $125 CAD.
