or even try to get an used 3090. if OP can afford 4090, just go with that.

My first idea was a 3090, but I'm not based in the US, and getting a used GPU here is risky, it's easy to be scammed. A 4080 is around 2000$ here, 3090 new is 1800$, and a 4900 is 2500$. So I thought that if I decide to get a desktop, I should "just" go for the 4090 cause is 500-700$ more but I'd get double the speed than a 3090 and 8+ vram.

Ah! I am also not from USA. I got my used 3090 for ~US$900. Could be cheaper now. 3090 & 4090 has same VRAM (24 GB)

I was checking Marketplace, couldn't find any used below 1500$. Also, I just discovered that 3090 is 2.2k$ here now lol (that would be the cheapest option)... meanwhile in BestBuy it costs 1k$, was just thinking about traveling to the US with the other k lol
