+The EVGA 3090 TI in my home desktop is great for many things and ironically one the things it was best at, I didn't like.
+It was an excellent furnace and could heat up a whole room just one or two rounds of your favorite game.
+With NVIDIA announcing their new cards at CES 2024, I decided that it was a good time to upgrade.
+However, there are now plenty of cards and price points to pick from.
+Here's the list as I see it:
+
+- RTX 4090
+- RTX 4080 Super
+- RTX 4080
+- RTX 4070 Ti Super
+- RTX 4070 Ti
+- RTX 4070 Super
+- RTX 4070
+- RTX 4060 Ti
+- RTX 4060
+
+By my count, that's 9 different cards with wildly different specs and prices.
+Here's the specs [off of the NVIDIA website](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/compare/):
+
+{{< table "table table-striped" >}}
+|            | RTX 4090 | RTX 4080 SUPER | RTX 4080 | RTX 4070 Ti SUPER | RTX 4070 Ti | RTX 4070 SUPER | RTX 4070 | RTX 4060 Ti | RTX 4060 |

+| Est. Price | 1599| 999  |899 | 799  | 699 | 599 | 499 | 399 | 299 |
+{{</ table >}}
+
+I've thrown in estimated price as I predict the non-super cards will be available from retailers clearing out stock for a few months as the newer cards trickle in.
+Generally I just knocked $100 off MSRP.
+Actual prices may vary.
+
+We have performance numbers for some of these cards, but not all of them.
+[Techspot has some nice numbers from a benchmark](https://www.techspot.com/review/2569-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080/) of 17 games we can use.
+These include Far Cry 6, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, The Outer Worlds, Horizon Zero Dawn, F1 2021, Cyberpunk 2077, and Halo Infinite.
+Not the latests and greatest games but a fairly representive sample of games I actually play.
+
+We will be looking at four stats: the average 4k fps, the 1% min fps at 4k, the 1440p average fps, and the 1% min fps for 1440p.
+
+{{< table "table table-striped" >}}
+|            | RTX 4090 | RTX 4080 SUPER | RTX 4080 | RTX 4070 Ti SUPER | RTX 4070 Ti | RTX 4070 SUPER | RTX 4070 | RTX 4060 Ti | RTX 4060 |
+| ---        | --- | ---  | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 4K Avg     | 144 | N/A  | 111 | N/A | 59  | N/A | 55  | N/A | N/A |
+| 4k 1% Min  | 116 | N/A  | 92  | N/A | 49  | N/A | 47  | N/A | N/A |
+| 1440p Avg  | 215 | N/A  | 189 | N/A | 105 | N/A | 98  | 78  | 61  |
+| 1440p 1%   | 168 | N/A  | 150 | N/A | 84  | N/A | 79  | 54  | 43  |
+{{</ table >}}
+
+Let's throw together a quick linear regression to predict how these cards will perform.
+The weights are this:
+| Attribute   | 4k Avg      | 4k 1%       | 1440p Avg   | 1440p 1%    |
+| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |

+| Boost Clock | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
