Are there any alternatives?

Yes, the RTX 3090 is a solid alternative for content creators who don’t need the best of the best. If you’re a gamer and can’t swing the RTX 3090 Ti, I’d recommend going down to the RTX 3080 Ti for the best balance of price and performance.

　　

How long will it last?

The RTX 3090 Ti is the most powerful GPU you can currently buy, so it should last several years. If you’re in the market for this type of flagship, you’ll probably upgrade your GPU long before the RTX 3090 Ti becomes obsolete.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes, even if you don’t need to. The RTX 3090 Ti is the best-performing GPU I’ve tested, but it’s important to remember that flagship options aren’t always necessary.
