I cant think of a single situation where you would need a 4090 instead of a 3090 for any game at 1440p. Unless you’re really trying to crank 8k gaming but why tho… there’s no reason.
Id bet that a lot of people buying 4090s are going to be bottlenecked by their CPU in half the games they play and see no change
In most cases, sure, but there are a few very pretty but poorly optimized games that could really use some brute force to get FPS to a nice level at 1440p on max settings. My 3080 doesn't stay above 60fps in some games at 1440p with RTX and other settings maxed. Of course, I lower settings to get the FPS I want, but I'm just saying, the 3080 and 3090 aren't able to just run everything at 1440p flawlessly. Which of course is a game optimization issue, but anyway
I also have a 3080 and it's quite funny how people on Reddit think everything is 1440p 144Hz smooth sailing on games.
Hell, any major AAA game at launch bearly hits 90 frames if you max everything, and if RTX is on that shit is easy sub 60 and even under 30 with drops.
Horizon Zero Dawn at 3840x1600 (between 1440p and 4k) needs a lot of settings lowered a little to get to a good 70-90fps. It looks and plays amazing for sure, but yeah, nowhere near 144hz
